This page contains various notes for myself and maybe something helpful for you.

Concepts

Execute around, a way to use ruby blocks to execute boilerplate or helpful code without adding the code to a method. This helps when trying to log around a method without adding the logging code to the method itself.

RVM issues

RVM is plagued with various OS level issues so below are some fixes for OS X:

Autolibs is a feature built into RVM to allow you to automatically install dependencies on your system.

From https://rvm.io/rvm/autolibs

Issue below:

» rvm install ruby-2.4.6 --with-openssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin/openssl
Warning, new version of rvm available '1.29.10-next', you are using older version '1.29.0'.
You can disable this warning with:    echo rvm_autoupdate_flag=0 >> ~/.rvmrc
You can enable  auto-update  with:    echo rvm_autoupdate_flag=2 >> ~/.rvmrc
ruby-2.4.6 - #removing src/ruby-2.4.6 - please wait
Checking requirements for rvm_pkg.
Warning, you are using 'rvm autolibs rvm_pkg', this is rarely used and can produce errors,

There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

This breaks if RVM is trying to use autolibs, fix this by first enforcing homebrew as the package manager:

rvm autolibs homebrew

Then use your installation command, in my version:

rvm install ruby-2.4.6 --with-openssl-dir=brew --prefix openssl

Gem install issues

Libarchive and lib-sodium not working on MacOS

This is because libarchive hasn’t gotten an update in years. So you’ll want to use ffi-libarchive which seems to solve the problem when the bundler install fails. And use brew install libsodium for the lib-sodium gem when it’s not working.
