Steps to Recreate

Follow the instructions to set up the dev environment on OSX. After cding into the food-rescue-robot directory, run

gem install bundler -v 1.17.3
bundle install

Environment

Operating System: MacOS BigSur (11.2.3)
Ruby version: 2.3.7
bundler version: 1.17.3

[rylanb]

Likely due to mimemagic fun from two weeks ago.

Try running bundle update mimemagic or pinning mimemagic to something ~ 0.3.10

[phyninja]

The Gemfile specifies the use of a particular revision of paperclip

food-rescue-robot/Gemfile

Line 71 in 37c2dc6

ref: '523bd46c768226893f23889079a7aa9c73b57d68'

which loops back to the mimemagic error:

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "mimemagic":
  In Gemfile:
    paperclip was resolved to 4.3.1, which depends on
      mimemagic (= 0.3.0)

Any reason we cannot also upgrade paperclip to the latest version (6.1.0)?

[rylanb]

That is two major version bumps of paperclip, you'd have to check the release notes, but likely breaking changes on each version bump. https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/blob/master/NEWS

I don't know if we can just upgrade it that far

[phyninja]

I tried 'pinning mimemagic' to 0.3.10 in the following way:

• Fork the paperclip repo from the source: https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip
• Create a new branch to specify in the Gemfile that mimemagic (0.3.10) is to be used
• Commit and push changes

Then, in food-rescue-robot's Gemfile, I specified the fork and the newly-created-ref in place of the existing info in lines 71 and 72:

gem 'paperclip', git: 'https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip',
                 ref: '523bd46c768226893f23889079a7aa9c73b57d68'

and ran

bundle install

only to find that I'm now facing a new error. Because I'm not seeing that paperclip or mimemagic is installed, I will need some more time to confirm whether or not your suggestion works.

[rylanb]

Yup, we're in a pretty rough spot w/ this app around that right now.

Paperclip v5.0.0 has a note:
* Drop support for end-of-life'd Rails 3.2 and 4.1

So we literally cannot upgrade this app right now.

I believe there is a new version coming by end of the year that will be better around this.

[dylnclrk]

For any folks trying to get the app running in the future, I was able to get it running with a few tweaks and removing attachment features. Sharing here as it might be a good starting point for you. Sorry these notes are rough, I tried to simplify things, but I'm sure it can be streamlined further.

• First off, I ran the app on an Intel Mac. I could not get Ruby 2.7 running on an M1 Mac without following some complex workarounds.
• Make sure you have the right version of bundler: gem install bundler -v ‘~> 1.17.3’. I had to uninstall newer versions w/ gem uninstall bundler in order to get it working.
• Now I started running bundle install and fixing the issues that arose as they came up.
• The first issue I encountered was with installing mimemagic, which has been yanked from the package registry. Unfortunately, the only workaround for me was to remove paperclip and the associated features.
  • Turn off the attachment features in the Region and Volunteer models (Remove calls to has_attached_file and validates_attachment_file_name)
  • Remove paperclip from the Gemfile.
• Next I ran in to some issues with therubyracer and libv8.
  • Install v8 3.15: brew install [email protected]
  • bundle config build.libv8 --with-system-v8
  • bundle config build.therubyracer --with-v8-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])
• Next I ran in to an issue compiling native extensions for our web server thin,
  • Ignore the errors: bundle config build.thin --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
• Finally, pg would not compile native extensions. Possibly because my version of Postgres was too new.
  • To fix, I installed Postgres 10: brew install postgresql@10
  • Follow the post-install instructions to set up your path.
  • Make sure v10 can start, and is running.
  • I was still running in to problems installing pg 0.18, and needed to update pg to version 0.21.0: bundle update pg
  • (Optional?) brew install libpq I'm not sure if this was necessary, but I installed and followed the post-install directions.
• At this point I could install all the dependencies, and start the app. But bin/setup was failing in the bin/support/bootstrap-database.rb task. So I ran through the db steps manually: createuser -s -U bfr_webapp_db (I made this a superuser, but could probably have just made them an owner), createdb bfr_webapp_db.
• Finally, I ran bundle exec rake db:schema:load (I didn't want to mess with trying to run migrations, since I would have to first remove the paperclip-related migration code) and bundle exec rake db:sample_region to seed some test data before starting the app.
