PassengerPane hangs on SnowLeopard

[karmajunkie]

When I try to start PassengerPane it just hangs, with "Loading Passenger... (32-bit)" in the title bar. This is the console output:

9/23/09 11:44:44 AM System Preferences[83845] PrefPanePassenger#willSelect: NoMethodError: undefined method 'hidden=' for nil:NilClass 9/23/09 11:44:44 AM [0x0-0x4b84b8].com.apple.systempreferences 2009-09-23 11:44:44.477 System Preferences[83845:903] PrefPanePassenger#willSelect: NoMethodError: undefined method 'hidden=' for nil:NilClass 9/23/09 11:44:44 AM [0x0-0x4b84b8].com.apple.systempreferences /Library/PreferencePanes/Passenger.prefPane/Contents/Resources/PassengerPref.rb:250:in 'setup_passenger_warning!' 9/23/09 11:44:44 AM [0x0-0x4b84b8].com.apple.systempreferences /Library/PreferencePanes/Passenger.prefPane/Contents/Resources/PassengerPref.rb:52:in 'willSelect' 9/23/09 11:44:44 AM [0x0-0x4b84b8].com.apple.systempreferences /Library/PreferencePanes/Passenger.prefPane/Contents/Resources/PassengerPref.rb:250

Could you please check if, for instance, this ticket helps you out?

[karmajunkie]

Sadly, no help there... I tried building from source and it still hangs with the same messages in Console.

And /Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework doesn't exist for you either?

Also, what is your environment exactly?

[karmajunkie]

Nope, no RubyCocoa in /Library/Frameworks either.

/usr/bin/ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [universal-darwin10.0]

passenger-config --version --root: 2.2.5

passenger-config --root /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.5

Any other debug files or anything I should post?

[alloy]

Yes, on which OS X version are you exactly?

And just to be sure, could you check ~/Library/Frameworks as well?

[karmajunkie]

Yeah, I guess my OS version would be important to know. :) I'm running 10.6.1. Also using Xcode 3.2, build 1610, and I don't have anything in ~/Library/Frameworks either.

[karmajunkie]

I do have a version of RubyCocoa installed in /System/Library/RubyCocoa.framework, it seems. Could this be the culprit?

[karmajunkie]

I temporarily removed the version of RubyCocoa in /System/Library/Frameworks and reinstalled passengerpane, to no avail. the prefpane still stalls out whenever I try to load it.

[alloy]

No, the /System/Library/RubyCocoa.framework one comes with OS X and shouldn't be the problem. Don't forget to place it back :)

In case you upgraded from Leopard and had an older version of the pane installed, could you check if the old version might be in ~/Library/PreferencePanes whereas the new version would be in /Library/PreferencePanes?

Otherwise, I'm a bit at a loss on how to further debug this as I can't recreate the issue as of yet…

[jackpooley]

I have seem to have the same issue described by karmajunkie. RubyCocoa.framework is neither /Library/Frameworks or ~/Library/Frameworks and I don't have any old version of the PrefPane instaled, I also tried to build from source unsuccessfully. Maybe you can use this system.log console output

I'm running 10.6.1, and passengerpane v1.3

[alloy]

When did you build from source, today? If so, can you give me details on what failed?

If you didn't build with the source of today, could you give it a try?

[alloy]

@jsmestad Did you build from source or install a release version?

[jackpooley]

I just tried again to re-build and install from the latest source and it now works like a charm thanks!

[boblu]

I also have this issue.
And my environment is
Snow Leopard 10.6.2

$ which ruby

/opt/local/bin/ruby

$ which gem

/opt/local/bin/gem

$ which httpd

/usr/sbin/httpd

$ which passenger-install-apache2-module

/opt/local/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module

[alloy]

@boblu Sorry for the delay, I haven't received any mail about recent issue activity. Could you paste the console output?

[jasonroelofs]

So I'm running into this now as well. The one difference I have is that I'm trying to run Passenger under an rvm-installed Ruby. I was able to run the pane just fine with the system-installed Ruby.

[alloy]

@jamesdid you install RubyCocoa for this RVM-installed Ruby as well?
