Gem::LoadError: can't activate jruby-openssl-0.9.6-java, already activated jruby-openssl-0.9.5-java

Hi Guys,

I get the following error when I try to deploy a Rails 4.1.8 app on a Centos 6 VPS:

Tried with jruby-1.7.15, jruby-1.7.18 and the same thing happens.
The error comes up when capistrano tries to run “bundle install” in the release path.
I do no have jruby-openssl in my Gemfile (and it is not inside my Gemfile.lock either), since as far as I know it is not required.

Any idea why this happens and especially how to solve this?

[mkristian]

jruby-1.7.x comes with jruby-openssl-0.9.5 included. since a couple of weeks there is a jruby-openssl-0.9.6 gem on rubygems.org

from what you describe it is not clear where the newer version comes into picture.

you could try adding jruby-openssl-0.9.5 to your Gemfile, even if it is not strictly needed.

Hi Kristian,

Thanks for the quick reply. I've already tried to add jruby-openssl 0.9.5 to my Gemfile, but it didn't work.
However installing 1.7.9 solved the problem, but this is far from ideal.

"from what you describe it is not clear where the newer version comes into picture."
I don't know this either. First I thought that maybe another app installed on the server causes it which had jruby openssl in its gemfile but since then I removed it, reinstalled rbenv, jruby, and torquebox, but the same error appeared again.

Check your gem dependencies (I believe there's a bundler flag to show the whole tree) and look for that jruby-openssl instance. It definitely sounds like it's getting pulled in as a transitive dependency of some kind.

I am having the same issue:

I am using vagrant to create a vm from scratch, then using cap development deploy on the vm. The bundle that capistrano is using:

cd /home/gman/www/releases/20150203193233 && /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm default do bundle install --path /home/gman/www/shared/bundle --without development test --deployment --quiet

Here is the output for gem dependency:

$ gem dependency 

Gem jruby-openssl-0.9.5-java

Gem jruby-openssl-0.9.6-java
  jar-dependencies (= 0.0.9, development)
  mocha (~> 1.1.0, development)

[michaelachrisco]

Looks like sudo gem install jruby-openssl resolves the issue.

[mkristian]

yes, gem install jruby-openssl does tell jruby to use the installed
jruby-openssl instead of the one which comes with jruby itself.

but thanx for the Gemfile maybe it helps to reproduce this somehow.

[kares]

has been an issue with RubyGems (due default gems) ... however latest 1.7.x should be good
