This bit me yesterday, so I wanted to get it written down.\u00a0 zeus<\/a> is a preloader that makes running tests faster.\u00a0 It can be a bit finicky about the gems available, even when using rvm.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I tried to upgrade a rails 4.2 app to rails 5.\u00a0 (I failed.)\u00a0 When I checked out my source branch to work on a different issue, ran a bundle install<\/code>, and then a\u00a0zeus start<\/code>, I saw this:<\/p>\n


\nzeus rake
\nzeus runner (alias: r)
\nzeus console (alias: c)
\nzeus server (alias: s)
\nzeus generate (alias: g)
\nzeus destroy (alias: d)
\nzeus dbconsole
\nzeus test (alias: rspec, testrb)
\nexit status 1
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

And then zeus exited.\u00a0 I did some google searches and turned up these two issues: 118<\/a> and 237<\/a>. Lots of folks having similar issues.<\/p>\n

After reading carefully through these issue, and trying some of the suggested fixes as I did so, I arrived at the golden comment<\/a>. I reproduce it here in its beautiful entirety:<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of “try this” in here, but no actual debugging steps. Here’s how you can find the actual issue:<\/p>\n

zeus –log ZEUS.LOG start then cat ZEUS.LOG<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Excellent!\u00a0 Using this logfile I quickly determined that the root issue was a collision in my json<\/code> gem versions and was able to get zeus<\/code> running again.<\/p>\n

But that’s not really the point. The point is that this user (thank you Steven<\/a>!) didn’t just provide an answer, he provided the means for me to diagnose and find my own answer.<\/p>\n

I wish github had some way of calling out highly recommended comments, as if I’d seen his comment first, it would have saved me some time.<\/p>\n

Just goes to show, you should always read the comments fully and look for the golden one when you are troubleshooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
