Uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Mutex (NameError) - How to resolve?

Question

Uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Mutex (NameError)

Hey I have seen this issue a lot across the web... Anybody resolve this with any success?

My app is RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.3.5' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

The log output

/Users/tjs/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@rails2/gems/activesupport-2.3.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:55: uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Mutex (NameError)

from script/server:4

I have tried requiring thread in the environment.rb, script/sever and rakefile but that just blows up the log...

I have rvm using 1.8.7 which I think is compatible. But I am still newer to rvm so not totally sure I have it working right.

I have 3 apps running rails 2.x and have this problem with all of them.

Also if I run gem -v it says 1.8.11 which may mean that I am using rvm wrong... — TJ Sherrill, Oct 22 '11 at 21:53
I have reviewed that question and answers, the require 'thread' doesn't work. Should I do a rvm install 1.5.3? — TJ Sherrill, Oct 22 '11 at 22:43

add the "require 'thread'"statement to your "boot.rb" file.

require 'thread'
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot')

I have tried that, and it does not resolve it. – TJ Sherrill Oct 22 '11 at 22:41

you just need use a new gemset using rbenv https://github.com/jamis/rbenv-gemset or rvm and install this one rubygems-update 1.4.2

gem install -v 1.4.2 rubygems-update
gem update --system 1.4.2

cheers

Another solution that worked for me is to use rails of higher minor version by settting env:

export RAILS_GEM_VERSION=2.3.12
