Install: rake setup fails with "cannot load such file -- ruby_http_parser"

[melissaboiko]

Following the mastodon install docs until I reach this point:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake mastodon:setup

This fails for me with:

rake aborted!
LoadError: cannot load such file -- ruby_http_parser

Same steps on vanilla masto (v3.2.0) work.

OS is Raspbian 10 (Buster).

• I searched or browsed the repo’s other issues to ensure this is not a duplicate.
• This bugs also occur on vanilla Mastodon

Hm, I can't reproduce this, and it shouldn't be different from upstream. Did you run bundle install as required? Did it produce an error?
If this still happens, does it happen again after doing rm -rf tmp?

[melissaboiko]

bundle install ran fine with no errors (and yarn install, after I found out that /usr/bin/yarn in Debian (& therefore Raspbian) is a different tool altogether).

The error on mastodon:setup persists after rm -rf tmp/ .

It might be something related to arm7; something related to Debian 10, or to the Raspbian flavour of it. I can test on an amd64 vanilla Debian 10 later.

(curiously, bundle install failed on vanilla masto – it was trying to install bcrypt 3.1.13, which fails on arm7. per a hard-to-find bug report, I changed Gemfile.lock to 3.1.12 and it worked. glitch-soc evades this cause it's on 3.1.15.)

[ClearlyClaire]

Oh, I hadn't noticed bcrypt had been updated. 3.1.13 had a build issue on non-x86 for a long time, this is great!

I can't really see what may be causing the issue, though. It would be interesting if you tried vanilla Mastodon's latest development version on the same hardware.

In either case, it seems http_parser.rb isn't used anymore, so removing it entirely (mastodon#14574) should fix the issue.

[melissaboiko]

Confirmed that it doesn’t reproduce on latest mastodon commit (0f38f97 from Aug 13).

…And I tried it again on a fresh glitch-soc checkout and couldn’t reproduce it myself. I guess I must have borked the 1st attempt somehow?

In any case I think it’s safe to close this, especially if http_parser.rb will be removed anyway. Sorry for the trouble!
