GemCutter rake build now throws "undefined method 'write' for #<Syck::Emitter:...." after updating to rubygems 1.5.0 on ruby 1.9.2 on Windows

I just updated my Windows 2008 Server x64 box to rubygems 1.5.0 and now I cannot build a gem using the rake tasks (rake clobber build) that Gemcutter provides. I get the following error:

rake aborted!

Update: There are reports in #1239 that upgrading to either bundler 1.0.21 or 1.1 might fix the problem. (Thanks to forforf for the pointer!)

gem install bundler

This is a known bug (#1239) in bundler. Larsch's workaround of adding require 'psych' at the top of the Rakefile didn't help for my Rails project (for whatever reason -- it simply didn't change anything), but setting RUBYOPT='-rpsych' as a workaround, like so, solved the problem:

RUBYOPT='-rpsych' bundle install

(Thanks to Moro for pointing this out.)

It only seems to be needed for install and update. The application itself (i.e. calling rake etc., even with bundle exec) should continue to function without setting RUBYOPT.


For background, the reason why simply requiring the psych module makes a difference seems to be this: YAML automatically uses the (older) Syck library, unless Psych is loaded at the time YAML is required, in which case it uses Psych. This kind of implicit behavior, of course, causes a lot of trouble, including the problem we see here.

This Hoe bug report describes a work-around: Add require 'psych' before anything else in the Rakefile. Works for me.

Had a similar issue on debian. Reverting to an older version of bundler (1.0.9) instead of 1.0.10 fixed the problem.
