[DRE-maint] Bug#604884: Debian redmine won't work with many Rails/actionpacks installed

Thu Nov 25 01:58:06 UTC 2010

Package: redmine
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: normal

i have recently switched to using Ruby Enterprise Edition that includes Passenger 3.0 and Rails 3.0.3.
I know that Redmine supports currently only Rails 2.3.5, however, it should run correctly in an environment where two concurrent gems are installed.
However, If I try to run Redmine with new RubyEE w/Passenger 3.0 w/Rails 3.0.3 I get the following error:

Error message:
undefined method `map' for nil:NilClass
Exception class:
NoMethodError
Application root:
/usr/share/redmine

This is not a Passenger issue, as when you try to run the command from the command line you get the same result:
# ruby /usr/share/redmine/config/environment.rb

/opt/rubyEE-2010-02/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:223:in
`activate': undefined method `map' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
	from /opt/rubyEE-2010-02/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:35:in
`require'
	from /usr/share/redmine/config/environment.rb:34

I have compared environment.rb in debian package and the one from trunk. 
I can see that one of the offending lines (require 'action_controller') is present in the debian version and not present in the trunk.
However, this does not explain the "undefined method map" error.

The error from passenger is as follows:

Error message:
undefined method `map' for nil:NilClass
Exception class:
NoMethodError

/usr/share/redmine
