I am also getting this problem on Centos 6.5. It was working fine from an install about a week ago, just wiped my vm and started again and I now get this. I'm using rvm and ruby 1.9.3. It doesn't look to me like rvm has changed so I am assuming a gem has been updated but I have no idea which one.

g3d · 2014-08-21T21:11:27Z

Same behaviour for me. I run inside vagrant on separate gemset & ruby-1.9.3-p547.

boxheed · 2014-08-21T21:58:28Z

I've compared the gems between the working set and the non working set.

gem	working version	broken version
activesupport	3.2.19	3.2.19
bigdecimal	1.1.0	1.1.0
bundler	1.6.5	1.7.0

daemons	1.1.9	1.1.9
eventmachine	1.0.3	1.0.3

sqlite3	1.3.9	1.3.9
thin	1.5.1	1.5.1

Judging from the error I would bet that it is the version of the i18n gem. I haven't tried altering the version of this yet.

boxheed · 2014-08-21T22:10:35Z

I can confirm it's the version of the i18n gem. I removed it and then installed the 0.6.11 version and it now works.

gem uninstall i18n
gem install i18n -v 0.6.11

boxheed · 2014-08-21T22:54:45Z

Quick update I've done a clean install of ruby and the broken version of the i18n gem only gets installed when I install the mailcatcher gem.

paulbeattie · 2014-08-22T13:31:55Z

The dependency for i18n comes from activesupport.

i18n (>= 0.6.4, ~> 0.6)

dobermai · 2014-08-23T16:12:58Z

This is a serious issue for us and broke our development vagrant VMs. While slightly unrelated, how can this be fixed when using RVM? We're using the following commands for installing mailcatcher:

rvm default@mailcatcher --create do gem install mailcatcher
rvm wrapper default@mailcatcher --no-prefix mailcatcher catchmail
gem install mailcatcher

I can of course manually do

gem install i18n -v 0.6.11
gem uninstall i18n -Ix --version '>0.6.11'

but this won't help with the rvm wrapper scripts. Any idea how to fix this?

dobermai · 2014-08-24T19:40:15Z

Just in case someone is interested, this is how I got it working with RVM:

rvm default@mailcatcher --create do gem install mailcatcher
rvm wrapper default@mailcatcher --no-prefix mailcatcher catchmail
rvm default@mailcatcher do gem install i18n -v 0.6.11
rvm default@mailcatcher do gem uninstall i18n -Ix --version '>0.6.11

sj26 · 2014-08-27T23:29:17Z

Hey there, I didn't get a notice about this issue which is odd, sorry.

This is an odd issue. Looks like rubygems isn't doing its job properly:

irb(main):002:0> Gem.loaded_specs
=> {}
irb(main):003:0> gem "mailcatcher"
=> true
irb(main):004:0> Gem.loaded_specs
=> {"eventmachine"=>#<Gem::Specification:0x3ff8e6fcd464 eventmachine-1.0.3>, "haml"=>#<Gem::Specification:0x3ff8e6a1d0c8 haml-4.0.5>, "sqlite3"=>#<Gem::Specification:0x3ff8e6e9d2ec sqlite3-1.3.9>, "daemons"=>#<Gem::Specification:0x3ff8e6b95914 daemons-1.1.9>, "thin"=>#<Gem::Specification:0x3ff8e6e7dce4 thin-1.5.1>, "skinny"=>#<Gem::Specification:0x3ff8e6cccf6c skinny-0.2.3>, "mailcatcher"=>#<Gem::Specification:0x3ff8e69343f0 mailcatcher-0.5.12>}

(notice activesupport and i18n are missing.)

You could work around by using rvm to install mailcatcher into a dedicated gemset and make the wrapper use that, so any conflicting versions installed by other things don't conflict.

paulbeattie · 2014-08-28T11:08:55Z

Running RubyGems 2.2.2 on Ruby 2.1.2 I get both ActiveSupport and i18n loading. I upgraded to the latest RubyGems (2.4.1) and still get the same returned.

irb(main):001:0> Gem.loaded_specs

Hettomei · 2014-08-29T07:50:53Z

Same problem here with ruby 2.1.2

For the people who start with ruby/gem and really need this one, you can install it from github :
(maybe it works for me because I have i18n (0.7.0.beta1) installed)

git  clone git@github.com:sj26/mailcatcher.git
cd mailcatcher
gem build mailcatcher.gemspec
gem install ./mailcatcher-0.6.0.gem
rbenv rehash #(if using rbenv)
mailcatcher

As said in issue #156 it comes without assets

john-999 · 2014-09-04T08:50:46Z

+1, with:

Rails: 4.2.0.beta1
Ruby: 2.1.2p95
Rubygems: 2.2.2

john-999 · 2014-09-04T09:28:28Z

For those who urgently need mails to work with Rails: 4.2.0.beta1, this worked great for me:

rebelwarrior · 2014-09-18T01:28:05Z

same problem downgrading i18n fixed it.

kwando · 2014-10-02T06:51:58Z

Had the same problem to , downgrading i18n to 0.6.11 works.

dwenaus · 2014-10-28T15:51:31Z

@kwando your solution worked.

CamJN · 2014-11-03T15:28:34Z

Apparently this can be fixed easily, can someone make a pull request with these changes?

https://github.com/mortik/mailcatcher/commit/bdb0c9415b3ab664274b4ccc3469912b0abfcb34

sj26 · 2014-11-05T01:16:35Z

@CamJN that won't fix the gem. To have the same effect in development mode, start mailcatcher with bundle exec mailcatcher.

pisaacs · 2014-11-15T17:42:26Z

Been using mailcatcher for while now. Removing i18n-0.7.0.beta1 worked for me!

$ gem list

i18n (0.7.0.beta1, 0.6.11)

$ gem uninstall i18n

Select gem to uninstall:
 1. i18n-0.6.11

esbanarango · 2014-11-19T03:23:11Z

Thanks @pisaacs! Removing i18n-0.7.0.beta1also worked for me.

john-999 · 2014-11-19T06:22:47Z

But it didn't for i18n-0.7.0.beta1 ;-(

abrambailey · 2014-12-09T15:23:27Z

Well this isn't the best solution.

funkdified@funktop ~/rails_projects/hearingtracker $ gem uninstall i18n

So now I need to remove the gem and boot up mailcatcher.. then bundle and start my app.. Laborious!

abrambailey · 2014-12-09T15:41:51Z

To fix this problem, change this line in mailcatcher.rb

require 'active_support/core_ext/'

TO

require 'active_support/core_ext/object'

AHaymond · 2014-12-09T19:29:00Z

+1 for @pisaacs comment. Removing the i18n-0.7.0.beta1 worked for me!

abrambailey · 2014-12-09T19:55:16Z

This works if you are not using 4.2.0.rc2 .. otherwise error =

activesupport-4.2.0.rc2 depends on i18n (< 0.8, >= 0.7.0.beta1)

paulbeattie · 2015-01-08T09:27:39Z

This works for me out the box running Ruby 2.2.0 and letting Rubygems install i18n 0.7.0. It seems that it could be related to i18n v0.7.0 going final.

sj26 · 2015-01-17T05:43:02Z

Yep. Please remove any prerelease versions of i18n if you encounter this issue.

@jondoe1337 that looks like you've got activesurpport 4.2.7.rc1 installed which is causing havoc. Can you try:

gem uninstall activesupport -v 4.2.7.rc1

jondoe1337 · 2016-07-06T08:18:43Z

That worked for me - i replaced the version above with:

gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6

Thanks!
