From: nobu@... Date: 2014-02-12T08:07:26+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:60662] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9156] Not able to get tmp dir to work with Ruby 2.0.0 Issue #9156 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada. MacOS X makes a directory with permission 0700 under `/var/folders` and sets `TMPDIR` to it by default. Check if it is properly set: `ls -ld "$TMPDIR"` ---------------------------------------- Bug #9156: Not able to get tmp dir to work with Ruby 2.0.0 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9156#change-45093 * Author: B L * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby-2.0.0-p353 * Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I just migrated to Ruby 2.0.0 from 1.9.2 and I'm getting errors when trying to handle files because I can't get tmp directories to work. If you check this file and look at line 29 you'll see that a check on world_writable? has been added, but the file should not be world writable (prepended by !). So tmp dir are now restricted? What should I do to set up my machine? (I'm using Rails 4) Here's the error I get: ArgumentError: could not find a temporary directory When I try to hit Dir:tmpdir /home/ben/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/2.0.0/tmpdir.rb: in tmpdir raise ArgumentError, "could not find a temporary directory" if !tmp Thanks Ben -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
