"gem install bosh-bootstrap" hangs forever

[fabiodbr]

I don't know whether this is a "gem" problem or some kind of gem repository problem, but the gem install always hang when trying to install bosh-bootstrap. I tried manually to install bosh-bootstrap with "gem install" and since version 0.17.0 it never finish. I tried several times and waited for hours without success.
Older versions like 0.16.1 installs successfully.
Is there anything I'm missing?

After 3 hours of "gem install bundler bosh-bootstrap --no-ri --no-rdoc --verbose" this is the return:

---

I've tried with ruby versions 2.1.5p273 and 1.9.3, and gem vesion 2.4.3

same issue here

[drnic]

Hmm, strange that everyone on this thread is getting this issue. v0.18.1 was released in December to loosen the fog dependency; but I see 0.17.0 and v0.18.0 being attempted.

I could not reproduce when I ran:

rvm @test-bootstrap --create
gem install bosh-bootstrap

This successfully installed v0.18.1:

Fetching: bosh-bootstrap-0.18.1.gem (100%)
Successfully installed bosh-bootstrap-0.18.1

Can you try forcing the install of v0.18.1?

gem install bosh-bootstrap -v 0.18.1

I was using ruby 2.3.0:

gem env
RubyGems Environment:
  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 2.5.1
  - RUBY VERSION: 2.3.0 (2015-12-25 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-darwin15]

[ramonskie]

on ruby 2.3.0 it works
on ruby 2.2.3 or lower it fails

so we need to set the minimum requirements in the doc 👍

[ramonskie]

after the installation on 2.3.0 the gem rake is missing

so it results in the following error

/home/ubuntu/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- rake (LoadError)

after gem install rake the issue seems to be resolved
found solution at test-kitchen/busser-serverspec#28

Ran into the same thing.
RubyGems Environment:

• RUBYGEMS VERSION: 2.4.8
• RUBY VERSION: 2.1.8 (2015-12-16 patchlevel 440) [x86_64-linux]

Used gem install bundler bosh-bootstrap:0.16.2 successfully.
Interesting part, on a running machine 0.18.0 is actually on it so updates work and not fresh installs?

[fabiodbr]

Yes @drnic, it worked with:

• RUBYGEMS VERSION: 2.5.1
• RUBY VERSION: 2.3.0

And I agree with @ramonskie, I think this should be documented.

Thank you.
