Current `rack` dependency version causes conflict with modern `rackup` versions
Opened this issue · 13 comments
The rack dependency version, ~>2.2, causes conflicts with modern rackup versions (e.g. 2.1.0); it should be verified and upgraded to a modern version (e.g. ~>3.1).
How does it cause conflicts?
Try installing rack version ~>2.2, then the latest rackup version; you'll get a conflict on the rackup binary.
Ah yes, I can reproduce:
$ gem install mailcatcher
...
Successfully installed rack-2.2.9
...
$ gem install rackup
Fetching rack-3.1.7.gem
Fetching rackup-2.1.0.gem
Successfully installed rack-3.1.7
rackup's executable "rackup" conflicts with rack
Overwrite the executable? [yN]
ERROR: Error installing rackup:
"rackup" from rackup conflicts with installed executable from rackSounds like a bump is in order. It might be possible now, given the dependencies on thin and websocket-driver have been unwound a little.
No. #560 is an error in how homebrew has packaged mailcatcher.
Workaround for that is don’t install mailcatcher with homebrew. Just:
gem install mailcatcher

I don't want to overwrite the executable so can't install

Right, that results in not installing the gem

If you can, uninstall all the versions of rackup, and install version 1.0; it won't conflict.

No, it should install the gem, it just won’t link that particular executable (which isn’t required, at least for mailcatcher)

I must be missing something
I started to look into what it would take to update this gem so it works with rack 3. Unfortunately, I couldn't even get gems to install.
The limiting factor starts with sprockets-sass. Sprockets v4 supports rack 3, but sprockets-sass hasn't been updated to support that version.
