1) install NB 6.7 java distro

3) choose to install PHP, Ruby, C/C++ from available plugins tab

The IDE cannot install Ruby modules even though they are available in ruby2/update/download directory. Please see attachments.

Upgrading the priority to P1.
Comment 4 dlipin 2009-07-22 10:11:48 UTC 
Is it reproducible if you install Java distro without ergonomics (Feature on Demand in installer customization panel/
dialog) ?
Is it reproducible on Windows/Linux? 
Do you have "Force install into shared directories" checkbox enabled at Setting tab?

Please attach all the messages.log* files (messages.log.1, messages.log.2), not only the latest.

I'm sorry but I'm not avare of any Feature on Demand in installer customization panel/dialog on MacOS X.
User blaha reproduced the issue on Linux, I guess.
Comment 9 Marian Mirilovic 2009-07-22 11:29:15 UTC 
Hi Dima, we discussed that recently with Yarda ... 
- reproducible only for Java distro (not JavaSE)
- after download feature : available in All IDE and not available in Java distro

Dima, are you able to fix it ? We discussed that with Yarda recently (I thought you are on vacation) and he is willing
to help us, but would live that on your shoulders if youy are back from vacation.

Comment 12 Jaroslav Tulach 2009-07-22 12:45:18 UTC 
There is a Ruby NBM that contains files in root of ruby2 cluster and this is causing the NPE.

Comment 20 Petr Blaha 2009-07-23 12:39:31 UTC 
This is different issue because there is the problem with dependencies now, see message.log:

 Warning - could not install some modules:
	org.netbeans.modules.ruby.kit - The module org.netbeans.modules.ruby.debugger would also need to be installed.
	org.netbeans.modules.ruby.debugger - The module org.netbeans.spi.debugger.ui was requested in version >= 2.16.2 but
only 2.16.1 was found.


Petr G. would you look on that?

Thanks,

Petr
Comment 21 Petr Blaha 2009-07-23 12:58:24 UTC 
Alex, would you write steps and also which distro, NB version and also UC catalog did you use? I followed these steps
and didn't get any error message and the upgrade works fine:
1) install NB 6.7 Java All distro and start with new userdir
2) register this UC in IDE: http://smetiste.czech.sun.com/builds/netbeans/6.7.1/fcs/latest/uc/catalog.xml.gz 
3) install updates. This steps is required because this bug is fixed in updater module and must be updated before next steps
4) go to available modules tab and choose C/C++, PHP and Ruby and install without any error dialogs.

We need to find out what you did differently then me. Thanks
Comment 22 pgebauer 2009-07-23 13:55:18 UTC 
If I don't skip the step "3) install updates.", the update will go smoothly. If I skip it, I will get errors regarding unavailability of new versions of some modules 
as it is mentioned above and I have to re-install the IDE.

I'm afraid, we will not be able to do anything with that.
Comment 23 Andrei Chistiakov 2009-07-23 13:58:17 UTC 
I exactly followed the steps described by pgebauer with NB 6.7 'Java' distribution and did not install Auto Update UI
and Auto Update Services. Looks like that was the key difference.
On the other hand, nothing prevented me from choosing that way and some users can do the same.
Comment 24 Petr Blaha 2009-07-23 14:52:45 UTC 
I understand your point but autoupdate module includes the fix that resolves the issue with Ruby module update. Only
users who have JavaAll distro and want to add Ruby will face this issue. This bug is already in NB 6.7 and nobody
reported this issue yet. The fix is resolved in new updater then you must install it in your IDE. Let's to summarize
when the issue will happen:

1) user has NB 6.7 JavaAll and wants to add Ruby. Usually, when users see update notification then they upgrade their
installation and after that the bug will be gone. I guess, just minimal percentage will ignore update and install Ruby
before.
2) NB 6.7.1 JavaAll users will not encounter this problem

Therefore, I would suggest to add item into RELEASE notes that describes what to do and release 6.7.1 with this.
Comment 25 Petr Blaha 2009-07-23 14:53:29 UTC 
The bug is fixed.
Comment 26 Andrei Chistiakov 2009-07-23 16:00:26 UTC 
Verified with UC catalog http://smetiste.czech.sun.com/builds/netbeans/6.7.1/fcs/2009-07-23_02-33-46/uc/catalog.xml.gz
