  • Test Driving a Rails API - Part One
    11 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2024
    Let’s get started. I prefer to manage my Ruby installations on my development machine with chruby paired with ruby-install. Another outstanding set of tools is rbenv with ruby-build. I highly recommend installing Ruby with one of those two sets of tools. Follow the instructions on their project’s READMEs. For this article, I’ll be running Ruby (MRI) v3.3.0.

    Use the ruby-install tool for this. https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install
  • Having issues installing Ruby

    Anyone have ideas on what the issue is? The closest error message I found searching online was linked to this post which I'm not sure is exactly the same since their error message is on a different line (line 9 vs 14) and doesn't mention openssl like my error message does.

    Another option would be to use ruby-install to manually install your desired Ruby version to somewhere on your path. The downside here is that you lose the ability to switch between Rubies. This type of installation would allow you to set $GEM_HOME and $GEM_PATH however you like though.

  • ruby-install 0.8.3 has been released
    2 projects | /r/ruby | 26 Sep 2021
    ruby-install 0.8.3 has been released. This version explicitly pins the homebrew openssl dependency to [email protected]. OpenSSL 3.0 was released this month and is now available in homebrew. Unfortunately, ruby’s openssl bindings are still working on OpenSSL 3.0 support, so attempting to compile any current ruby version against OpenSSL 3.0 from homebrew will result in a compilation error. Until all actively supported versions of Ruby support OpenSSL 3.0, ruby-install will continue to compile against [email protected] on macOS with homebrew.

  • undefined method `generate' for OpenSSL::PKey::EC:Class whe starting an SSH session with a private key
    2 projects | /r/ruby | 27 Aug 2022
    JRuby doesn't use the official openssl gem which contains C extensions that compile against libopenssl, but instead uses jruby-openssl. There are a few minor compatibility issues with jruby-openssl. I've ran into the missing EC.generate method before. In theory CRuby's openssl OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate creates a new OpenSSL::PKey::EC object and calls #generate_key, but trying that in JRuby produces a smaller EC key implying there's some data missing from the EC key, so I'm not sure if that approach is equivalent.

    I would edit ossl.c and copy some code from Ruby OpenSSL commit 8e98d2e. This might be easier than building an old version of OpenSSL.
