bundle exec fails when called from an init.d script

July 3, 2017 237 views
Ruby on Rails Ubuntu

I am trying to set up my server to use chruby to manage rubies and have unicorn started from a rails app bundle.

service unicorn start works fine from a shell. /etc/init.d/unicorn is calling a chruby wrapper for unicorn that calls bundle exec unicorn.

During the init process, bundle exec fails unable to "re-resolve" dependencies before running unicorn. It appears that it can't contact the gem sources to resolve things.

Can this be disabled or worked around somehow?

The message is:

Found changes from the lockfile, re-resolving dependencies because bundler is unlocking Could not find gem 'blah' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The gems are all installed already and everything works if I manually start unicorn.

    However this twigged a suspicion that the boot process couldn't find them. I had .bundle/config set with an bundle install path for the user. However, I think this path was not being found/read during boot.

    I added the appropriate lines to .bundle/config in the app itself and re bundled. It now works.

Adding BUNDLE_PATH directly to the app's .bundle/config and re bundling, appears to have fixed the issue.
