I'm applying a patch to my fork of 2.3.15 rails for a workaround for one of the latest security issues.

Previously in my gem file I had -

gem 'rails', '2.3.15'

And everything worked as expected. But for my fork I have

gem 'rails', '2.3.15', :git => 'git@github.com:myrepo/rails.git', :branch => 'CVE-2013-0155-fix'

After doing a bundle install and then running my app with bundle exec ruby script/server as per usual, I'm getting this error - 

| ./script/../config/boot.rb:64:in `require': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError)

I thought that maybe I had just messed something up with my fork but when I point my gemfile to the rails git repo I get the same issue.

gem 'rails', '2.3.15', :git => 'git@github.com:rails/rails.git', :tag => 'v2.3.15'

Can anyone explain to me what's up?

  • you are using the version AND branch or tag. could you remove the version and just reference a specific revision? – phoet Jan 16 '13 at 18:53
  • If I remove the version and point to the v2.3.15 tag on rails/rails I get `Could not find gem 'rails (>= 0) ruby' in git@github.com:rails/rails.git (at v2.3.15). Source does not contain any versions of 'rails (>= 0) ruby'` Pointing at my forked branch I get `Git error: command git rev-parse CVE-2013-0155-fix in directory xxx/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2012.01/cache/bundler/git/rails-xxx has failed. If this error persists you could try removing the cache directory 'xxx/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2012.01/cache/bundler/git/rails-xxx'` – Marklar Jan 16 '13 at 19:15

Found an excellent blogpost on the issue here - http://robanderson123.wordpress.com/2013/01/05/applying-backported-security-patches-to-rails-2-3/

The big problem being that rails/2-3-stable doesn't have any gemspecs in the repo. Long story short, did a bundle install with rails set to 2.3.15. Copied the rails gemspecs for activerecord etc out of the specifications directory bundle show rails gives into each of the corresponding directories in my fork of rails. With the exception of the rails gemspec which I copied into the railties directory.

After this gem 'rails', '2.3.15', :git => 'git@github.com:myrepo/rails.git', :branch => 'my-2-3-branch' works as expected.
