no such file to load -- rack/handler

I'm encountering this error on a server that used to work:

 Cannot load daemon

Installing rack manually fixed this. The rack gem is a development dependency of Trinidad proper, but I think it needs to be a runtime dependency of either trinidad_init_services or trinidad.

Actually it's not a dependency, jruby-rack loads rack. The problem is that Rack now uses autoload and when trinidad tries to load rack/handler nothing has been already loaded by rack yet. I'm not completely sure if requiring rack we fix the problem

[jkutner]

i don't mean require it. I mean add this to the trinidad_init_services gemspec:

s.add_dependency('rack')

it wasn't even installed for me. that seems weird though... wouldn't it have been installed if there is a dependency on trinidad -> jruby-rack -> rack

[calavera]

it doesn't need to be installed, jruby-rack bundles it.

[jkutner]

i see. so is it bad for me to gem install rack as a workaround?

[calavera]

ohh I think this issue is duplicated, check this out:

trinidad/trinidad#48

I'm closing it
