Starting discourse fails with bootstrap error

manishramteke · June 27, 2017, 5:15pm

Hi Team,

Facing below error when tried running rails server

/var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/bootsnap-1.0.0/lib/bootsnap/compile_cache/iseq.rb:73:in `compile_option_crc32=’: wrong argument type Bignum (expected Fixnum) (TypeError)

Running discourse on ubuntu 16.4 and installing in development mode (non docker).

Regards
Manish

I think I have a related issue. I’m the proud owner of a brand new MacBook Pro and was setting up a new Discourse development environment. I followed @techAPJ’s how to for this to the letter. It all went perfect (well done, sir!) except for the letter avatars. They fail to load.

I did some digging and found this error trace:

Following that error are the related error traces for the missing images. Essentially, it seems as though the image size it’s looking for isn’t being created on startup.

I tried rm -rf tmp and restarted locally but that made no difference.

UPDATE: I ran the sidekiq job for CreateMissingAvatars thinking that may help. It did bring in the system user avatar but it applied that to my user account as well. I would have expected a letter avatar instead. But maybe that resolved it?

UPDATE2: Sorry. Not resolved. Here’s the error:

No such file or directory @ rb_file_s_ctime - /Users/joebuhlig/Codebase/discourse/tmp/letter_avatars/5_9923d3d1b8ee4d0450f1275952f90f00/J/185_229_243/64.png

This to me sounds like a Ruby version thing… can you raise this on the bootsnap GitHub repo.

My guess, somehow you had version 2.2 installed, you started Discourse and built the cache in tmp/cache later you started running Ruby version 2.3 and it tried reading the 2.2 cache.

My first port-of-call would be rm -fr tmp/cache

If you need to workaround for now comment out bootsnap in app/boot.rb

manishramteke · June 28, 2017, 4:58am

Hi Sam,

I have been using ruby 2.3 as per dev install guide. Cleaning cache, installing dependencies and rerunning with ruby 2.3 did not work for me however commenting out bootsnap worked.

I will check on bootsnap thing, as you suggested. If I find solution will post it here.

Thanks for quick workaround. I am huge fan of discourse and team.

Manish

@joebuhlig I just encountered the exact same issue in my native OSX dev environment (I even also have a new MacBook Pro ).

Changing my imagemagick version fixed it for me.

Following the breadcrumbs, I noticed that imagemagick plays some kind of role in the naming of letter avatar files (here).
Discourse core is still using imagemagick 6.9.x

I was using imagemagick 7.0.x (current stable homebrew version).

/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.9.6-5 (1,493 files, 22.5MB)
Poured from bottle on 2016-11-20 at 00:08:07
/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/7.0.6-4 (1,522 files, 22.7MB) *
Poured from bottle on 2017-07-31 at 07:43:44

I switched to the 6.9.x version homebrew kept (see above)
```
brew switch imagemagick 6.9.6-5
```

Now letter avatars work as normal. No annoying errors.

Got it! That makes a lot of sense. I never took the time to dig much further into it.

How did you install the older version of IM? It seems homebrew can’t find the 6.9.x formula when I run it.

EDIT: I hate it when I find the answer after asking the question.

I had to unlink it, install with a gist I found online, and then switch it. So:

brew unlink imagemagick
brew install https://gist.githubusercontent.com/leesheppard/69a283ee4af484e2029809a0f5e09932/raw/88bc116b515a456a2e1bad476b6124d28ce2f6f6/imagemagick.rb
brew switch imagemagick 6.9.7-10

For anyone else who runs into this same issue on Arch, the current imagemagick6 release will work, but imagemagick 7.x (current) still isn’t compatible… Specifically:

pacman -R imagemagick
pacman -S imagemagick6

Restart your rails server and all will be working fine.
