[Radiant] uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner when freezing gems

[Oli Studholme]

Hi All,

This is probably obvious, but just in case it catches anyone else out:

I have a svn checkout of the rails2 branch with the gettext gem and
radiantgettext for Japanese localization, as per:
http://boblet.tumblr.com/post/30679470
and wanted to freeze gems for moving to my webhost. Doing
    rake radiant:freeze:gems
Gave me the error
    uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner

Here is the full trace:

$ rake radiant:freeze:gems --trace
(in /path/to/radiant/install)
** Invoke radiant:freeze:gems (first_time)
** Execute radiant:freeze:gems
Freezing to the gems for Radiant 0.6.4
rake aborted!

I checked the Rails-2.0.2 framework.rake file as per:
http://bpdp.wordpress.com/2007/11/28/rubygems-095-and-rails-126-uninitialized-constant-gemgemrunner/
but it already had
    require 'rubygems/gem_runner

Checking the trace I then edited:
    /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.4/lib/tasks/framework.rake
which didn't have it. Adding the requirement for gem_runner and saving
let me freeze successfully.

HTH
