[chef-dev] RE: Re: Re: Ruby 2.0.0 vs Ruby 2.1.5 on Windows platform

[Stuart Preston < >]

Thanks for the pointer to the issue(s).  In my environment I do not see that ruby 2.1.5 is broken on the platforms specified.  This morning I did a run through with the following configurations and all seemed to work fine.  I posted screenshots (https://github.com/chef/chef-dk/issues/434#issuecomment-121929601) if anyone is interested:

 

·         Hyper-V: Windows 7 Enterprise x86 SP0 + Windows Management Framework 2.0

·         Hyper-V: Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP0 + Windows Management Framework 2.0

·         Hyper-V: Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1 + Windows Management Framework 2.0

·         Hyper-V: Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1 + Windows Management Framework 3.0

·         Physical: Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 + Windows Management Framework 4.0

·         Physical: Windows 10 Pro build 10240 + Windows Management Framework 5.0.10240

 

It feels to me that if there is a problem with Ruby 2.1.5 it is that in combination with something else, possibly environmental?

 

Thanks, Stuart

knife in chef-dk on ruby 2.1.5 is actually busted on windows because of it being bumped to 2.1.5:

https://github.com/chef/chef-dk/issues/434

the speed increases are good but until those problems get solved we can't ship 2.1.x or 2.2.x in chef-client (and i mentioned the possibility that we need to roll back ruby in chef-dk if we can't solve the segfaults in 2.1.5 on windows)

If I recall correctly, there were a couple of bugs in 2.1.x on Windows - including a certificate related issue.  Jay or Kartik might have the exact details.

Hi all,

 

On my Windows machine, the ChefDK 0.6.2 installer also installs Chef-Client 12.3.0 with Ruby 2.1.5:

 

C:\opscode\chefdk\embedded\bin>ruby -v

ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) [i386-mingw32]

 

However the Chef-Client 12.3.0 (and I tried the latest 12.4.1) omnibus installer is still shipping with Ruby 2.0.0:

 

C:\opscode\chef\embedded\bin>ruby -v

ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24) [i386-mingw32]

 

The speed difference is significant on my machine (2.1.5 being much faster) so I wondered if there were plans to bring Ruby 2.1.5 into the omnibus installer soon or if there is a blocking issue doing so?

 

Thanks,

Stuart
