Problem

We're using formeman in a project, and one of our users had trouble getting (the script that calls) foreman to start properly. It seems the problem was the psych gem was not installed.

$ bin/foreman-start.sh

                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).

Solution

Including the psych gem in gemspec. This is a defensive coding option. Normally I wouldn't recommend including a dependency that isn't directly consumed by the application. However, in this case, psych should be included in Ruby installs anyway, so including it in foreman seems like an appropriate solution.

$ asdf install ruby 2.5.0
$ asdf shell ruby 2.5.0
$ gem list | grep psych
psych (default: 3.0.2)
