Question

I’ve got a strange behaviour on my production server: I deploy my Rails 3 application via Capistrano to the production server. The Capistrano script restarts passenger at the end of deployment. When I open the application I see a passenger error message:

Could not find autotest-fsevent-0.2.4 in any of the sources
(Bundler::GemNotFound)

Of course autotest-fsevent is not installed in my production environment (and even can’t be installed on Ubuntu…)

The environment is set in apache’s virtualhost:

<VirtualHost *>
  PassengerMinInstances 1

  ServerName test.myapp.de
  DocumentRoot /var/www/myapp/current/public

  RailsEnv production
  RackEnv production

  <Directory /var/www/myapp/current/public/>
    Options -Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from none
    Allow from all
    AddOutputFilterbyType DEFLATE text/html
    FileEtag none
  </Directory>

  LogLevel warn
  ErrorLog /var/www/myapp/shared/log/error.log
  CustomLog /var/www/myapp/shared/log/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Here is my Gemfile:

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.6'
gem 'jquery-rails'

gem 'mysql'
gem 'simple-navigation'
gem 'geokit'
gem 'geokit-rails3', :git => "git://github.com/loosecubes/geokit-rails3.git"
gem 'validates_timeliness', '~> 3.0.2'
gem 'delocalize'
gem 'prawn'

group :development do
gem 'rspec-rails', '2.5.0'
gem 'faker', '0.3.1'
#gem 'ruby-debug19'
gem 'ruby-debug'
gem 'autotest', '4.4.6'
gem 'autotest-rails-pure', '4.1.2'
gem 'autotest-fsevent', '0.2.4'
gem 'autotest-growl', '0.2.9'
end

group :test do
  gem 'rspec', '2.5.0'
  gem 'rcov'
  gem 'webrat', '0.7.1'
  gem 'factory_girl_rails', '1.0'
end

Why does passenger (or bundler) think it needs ALL gems instead only the gems for production environment?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Are you using the bundler capistrano recipes?

Make sure this is in your config/deploy.rb

require 'bundler/capistrano'

Basically it will invoke bundle with the --without development test option, which should only install the production gems. If you are just doing a regular bundle, it will install try to install the gems for all environments.
