Running bundle install fails trying to remote fetch from rubygems.org/quick/Marshal

Question

I'm getting a strange error when doing bundle install:

$ bundle install
Fetching source index for http://rubygems.org/
rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2010.02/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/remote_fetcher.rb:304
    :in `open_uri_or_path': bad response Not Found 404 
    (http://rubygems.org/quick/Marshal.4.8/resque-scheduler-1.09.7.gemspec.rz) 
    (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)

I've tried bundle update, gem source -c, gem update --system, gem cleanup, etc etc. Nothing seems to solve this. I notice that the URL beginning with http://rubygems.org/quick does seem to be a 404 -- I don't think that's any problem with my network, though if that's reachable for anyone else then that would be a simple explanation for my problem.

More hints: If I just gem install resque-scheduler it works fine:

$ gem install resque-scheduler
Successfully installed resque-scheduler-1.9.7
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for resque-scheduler-1.9.7...
Installing RDoc documentation for resque-scheduler-1.9.7...

And here's my Gemfile:

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'json'
gem 'rails', '>=3.0.0'
gem 'mongo'
gem 'mongo_mapper', :git => 'git://github.com/jnunemaker/mongomapper', :branch => 'rails3'

Answer 1

There's not even a version of that gem available:

http://rubygems.org/gems/resque-scheduler/versions

Can you paste your Gemfile?

Also, that is supposed to be a 404, it's not a valid endpoint. That file is a compressed version of that gem's gemspec, which now lives on S3/CloudFront. Long story short, it's just where RubyGems wants things to live but we redirect out to a CDN now.

No idea why Bundler is requesting it though.

Answer 2

I'm seeing similar happening for other gems today. I suspect it's a rubygems.org issue.

Have you tried sudo gem install resque-scheduler - bundler should then use the local system gem once you have it installed.

I just did that and got version 1.9.7, not version 1.09.7 - you don't have a stray zero do you?

Answer 3

This seems to have worked for me:

1. Comment out gem 'resque-scheduler' from Gemfile.
2. Run bundle install.
3. Uncomment gem 'resque-scheduler' in Gemfile.
4. Run bundle install again.

I have no idea why that worked and it's possible it was some other random flailing around I did like trying gem install bundler. But right before trying the above 4 steps it was still failing the same way and right afterwards it worked.
