I am using a Mac OS running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and RVM 1.10.3, Ruby 1.9.3-p125, Ruby on Rails 3.2.2 and rspec-rails-2.8.1. I have properly installed and configured all gems, but when in the Terminal window I run the rake spec command I get the following:

$ rake spec
/<ABSOLUT_PATH>/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/gems/yard-0.7.5/lib/yard/cli/command.rb:10: [BUG] Segmentation fault

How can I solve the issue?

Note: I noted that the problem happens sometimes, randomly!


In my Gemfile I have:

group :development, :test do
  gem "rspec-rails"
  gem 'webrat'
end

group :test do
  gem 'factory_girl_rails'
  gem 'cucumber-rails'
  gem 'turn', :require => false
end

    EDITED: Based on the information you have provided so far, it seems like you have found a bug in Ruby 1.9.3. I recommend that you report this to the Ruby core team.

    Until this bug is fixed, you must find a way around it. To find a way around it, you must get more details about exactly what does and does not trigger it.

    In the stack trace which you posted, it looks like line 68 of bundler/runtime.rb is requiring the yard gem. Using Ruby 1.9.3, try requiring the yard gem yourself, from IRB or a simple test script. Does that trigger the error? If not, go to the method which “realer” is calling in “bundler” (bundler.rb, line 118). Try calling that method (whatever it is) yourself, from a test script. Does that trigger the error? …and so on.

    Fortunately, when you install Ruby gems, the source code is available in the “gems” directory, and you can study and modify it. I have also had to “hack” the source code of my gems before to work around problems (until a fixed version of the gem is released).
