With PE PLAN no such file to load -- rbvmomi

[anissmajlovic]

Good morning everyone

I am trying to use patching with PE 2019.8 but I am getting error below:

For example if I use puppet plan run patching::snapshot_vmware action=create targets=xxxxxxx vsphere_datacenter=xxxxxxx vsphere_host=xxxxxxx vsphere_insecure=true vsphere_password=xxxxxxx vsphere_username=xxxxxxx

Then I receive error:
{
"msg": "no such file to load -- rbvmomi",
"kind": "bolt/plan-failure",
"details": {
"class": "LoadError"
}
}

I tried on PE to do this
/opt/puppetlabs/server/bin/puppetserver gem install rbvmomi
and restart pe-puppetserver but it didn't help.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hello everyone,
@anissmajlovic did you find a solution?
I solved 1 issue but then get others of the same kind

I solved 1 issue by replacing 'rbvmomi' to '/opt/puppetlabs/bolt/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/rbvmomi-3.0.0/lib/rbvmomi'
But then I get
{
"msg" : "no such file to load -- nokogiri",
"kind" : "bolt/plan-failure",
"details" : {
"class" : "LoadError"
}
}

If I replace the require for 'nokogiri' to '/opt/puppetlabs/bolt/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/nokogiri-1.13.8-x86_64-linux/lib/nokogiri' in the files

/opt/puppetlabs/bolt/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/rbvmomi-3.0.0/lib/rbvmomi/trivial_soap.rb
/opt/puppetlabs/bolt/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/rbvmomi-3.0.0/lib/rbvmomi/utils/deploy.rb
/opt/puppetlabs/bolt/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/rbvmomi-3.0.0/lib/rbvmomi/sms.rb

I get
{
"msg" : "no such file to load -- isorelax",
"kind" : "bolt/plan-failure",
"details" : {
"class" : "LoadError"
}
}

I got the idea from [(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9154365/ruby-loaderror-cannot-load-such-file)] but I have no knowledge about ruby

Changing every file this way is only temporary until the next synchronization and tiresome.

Is there no other solution?

I am using PE 2021.6

Yes, I found solution. I will share in couple of hours. I am out now.

Thanks

This helped me to resolve this by executing commands below on PE.

Command 1

echo "jruby-puppet: { gem-home: /opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/bolt-server/lib/ruby }" > /tmp/jruby.conf

Command 2

/opt/puppetlabs/server/bin/java -cp :/opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/puppetserver/puppet-server-release.jar:/opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/puppetserver/jruby-9k.jar:/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter.jar:/opt/puppetlabs/share/java/bcprov-jdk15on.jar:/opt/puppetlabs/share/java/bcpkix-jdk15on.jar:/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/jars/* clojure.main -m puppetlabs.puppetserver.cli.gem --config /tmp/jruby.conf -- install --no-document rbvmomi

Restart

puppet resource service pe-orchestration-services ensure=stopped
puppet resource service pe-orchestration-services ensure=running

Test

When I excecute the command 2, I get an error message:

ERROR: Error installing rbvmomi:

     ` The last version of nokogiri (~> 1.10) to support your Ruby & RubyGems was 1.12.5. Try installing it with gem install nokogiri -v 1.12.5 and then running the current command again`
     `nokogiri requires Ruby version >= 2.6.0. The current ruby version is 2.5.8.0.`

That error message is strange because version 2.7 is installed
> ruby --version

I found 3 binaries, and everyone is ruby 2.7

If I use your command to install nokogiri -v 1.12.5 and then use it to install rbvmomi, it turns successfully

I dont get the error message anymore, thank you very much!
