Gem::Requirement::BadRequirementError on fly deply

ricvillagrana · February 22, 2023, 1:41am

I have an existing application and just added fly.io to it with fly launch, after that command succeeded. After that just executed fly deploy and got this error:

I’ve seen problems like this before, I don’t know what causes it, but I know what normally fixes it.

Delete (or rename) your Gemfile.lock, run bundle install (or update), and redeploy. Not very satisfying (feels like “turn your machine off and back on again”, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Here is an example (3 years ago, Heroku), ruby on rails - Fix for 'Gem::Requirement::BadRequirementError: Illformed requirement [">=1 <2"]' error - Stack Overflow

Hi, thanks for the help, unfortunately this didn’t work for me, still the same error.

rubys · February 22, 2023, 5:47pm

Any chance you can post your gemfile?

andrewarrow · February 22, 2023, 7:06pm

This link is interesting: `parse': Illformed requirement ["2.0.0-alpha"] (Gem::Requirement::BadRequirementError) · Issue #193 · rubysec/bundler-audit · GitHub

In that problem it’s:

parse': Illformed requirement ["2.0.0-alpha"]

but your problem is empty string. Sounds like you are missing something populating your ruby version.

rubys · February 22, 2023, 10:27pm

Other things to try:

gem update --system --no-document
gem update bundler

… and then removing Gemfile.lock, run bundle update, then fly deploy.

ricvillagrana · February 23, 2023, 3:42am

Thanks for the help, but again, this unfortunately didn’t work.

rubys · February 23, 2023, 3:54am

Unfortunately, a stack traceback alone isn’t enough to debug this issue. Providing your Gemfile may help me reproduce and diagnose the problem.

Alternately, try the first example here: Minimal Rails application · Fly Docs, and if that works, try other examples: Cookbooks · Fly Docs

Unfortunately, all I can report so far is that I’ve failed to reproduce the problem. I’ve used your Gemfile, your version of Ruby, and your version of bundler.

What that means is that further testing and progress needs to be done on your machine. Fortunately this isn’t as hard as it sounds.

Since you haven’t gotten very far, I recommend that you destroy your fly app, database, and redis instance. Particularly if you want to stay initially in the free tier. Then create a new app, and during launch create a new database and redis instance (don’t worry about them too much, you can throw them away later too when you are ready to deploy):

rails new demo --css tailwind
cd demo
echo 'Rails.application.routes.draw { root "rails/welcome#index" }' > config/routes.rb
bundle add dockerfile-rails --optimistic --group development
bin/rails generate dockerfile --postgresql
fly launch
fly deploy

This should work, and when you visit your site it will show the Rails splash screen.

Next, save your state. git add . followed by git commit -m demo.

Now copy in your Gemfile from your application into this demo and redploy. If it fails, use git diff to see what changed in your gemfile and experiment. If it succeeds, start copying more of your application into this demo and redeploy.

I’ll be interested in hearing your results.
