I have been trying from last 2 weeks to setup my code on Mac. Previously I was using Ubuntu, it was never this difficult to setup code. I have followed almost all tutorials but no luck. Please can anyone guide me on setting up RoR on mac. After following all the tutorials I end up at mysql error only.

The steps which worked in Ubuntu for setting up Rails:

Installation of rvm and ruby in 12.04(Followed the link) 
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-with-rvm 
the steps are: 

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install curl 
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable 
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm 
rvm requirements(error will occur - not to worry. Go to the link provided to install the package-----) 
rvm autolibs rvm_pkg
again give -> rvm requirements 
rvm install 1.9.3 
rvm use 1.9.3 



get the code and do inside it
bundle install 

later check with rails s.. if not working. do as follows 
gem uninstall -i /home/user_xyz/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448@global bundler 

then install 
gem install bundler -v1.0.22 

install git 
sudo apt-get install git 
 then 
bundle install --system 

then again do 
bundle install 

If the bundle install --system is not working 
gem install bundler --pre 

again give 
bundle install --system 

It will ask to install the mysql2 
install the mysql2 
sudo apt-get install mysql2 -v0.3.13 

again give 
bundle install --system 

then install the following for the mysql error 
sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev 

After the mysql error. nokogiri error occurs 
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev 
sudo gem install nokogiri 

finally give 
bundle install --system 

install netbeans 
first install java package 
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk 
sh netbeans-7.0.1-ml-linux.sh 

Proceed as follows(Due to erros do the following)
gem uninstall bundler 
bundle install 
rvm @global do gem uninstall bundler 
gem update bundle 
bundle install --system 
Error for event machine(Check the link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4735303/failed-to-install-gem-install-eventmachine-i-need-starling-in-my-project-fo) 
sudo apt-get install build-essential 
install event machine 
gem install eventmachine -v '1.0.3' 
bundle install --system 

install mysql 
sudo apt-get install mysql-server 
change the password in the config/database.yml for the mysql

Solution:
Steps followed to setup Rails:

  • installed MySQL using brew:mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.9, for
    osx10.11 (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
    . Followed the commands given onscreen after mysql installation.

  • installed rvm with the following steps:

    curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable —ruby

    rvm install 1.9.3

    rvm use 1.9.3

    rvm --default 1.9.3

  • installed rails, gem install rails, current version is ‘4.2.5’.

(mysql2 gem version (0.3.20) woking with rails 4.1.4)

(mysql2 gem version (0.4.2) woking with rails 4.2.5)

(mysql2 gem version (0.3.20) woking with rails 3.2.14)

So, now I am able to create and run new rails app, but if I run any older rails app built on Ubuntu, it keeps throwing error even though bundle install completes successfully. The error message which I get:

Gem::LoadError: Specified 'mysql2' for database adapter, but the gem is not loaded. Add `gem 'mysql2'` to your Gemfile (and ensure its version is at the minimum required by ActiveRecord).

The error messages keeps changing but all are related to mysql2 gem. I have deleted vendor/cache, Gemfile.lock from my older project but still no success.

  1. This problem does ring a bell, but instead of digging out the Internet and my memory, I have just tried the following: Install the latest mysql2 of the 0.3 series (0.3.20 at time of writing), and bundle it up for the application.

    The problem seems that the latest mysql2 gem version 0.4 is not compatible with Rails 3.


    Your gem versions cannot be changed, and you want to have the same versions as production. To do so, you could just copy over your Gemfile.lock file from the production server, put it in your local folder aside the Gemfile, and execute the bundle install command.

    Note that if your Gemfile specifies:

    gem 'mysql2', '> 0.3'
    

    Then Bundler will install the latest version that matches 0.n where n >= 3. At time of writing, that leads Bundler to get a 0.4 version, which is not compatible with your Rails version (Bundler cannot infer that from your Gemfile). A workaround for you is to modify your copy of the Gemfile (and committing it to your project may be a good idea):

    gem 'mysql2', '> 0.3.13'  # put here the actual version used in production
    

    Doing so, Bundler will install a version matchings 0.3.n, with n >= 13.

  2. The first problem is that you don’t have the mysql2 gem installed on your system (it seems that you’ve fixed this, so you don’t need to worry about it).

    I don’t know the specifics of Mac, but in Windows, it means that you have download the appropriate libraries & get them installed on your system before installing the gem.

    In regards the error:

    Gem::LoadError: Specified ‘mysql2’ for database adapter, but the gem is not loaded. Add gem ‘mysql2’ to your Gemfile (and ensure its version is at the minimum required by ActiveRecord).

    … this problem is caused by Rails 4.2.0 - 4.2.4 calling the wrong version of mysql2: Rails 4 – Gem::LoadError: Specified 'mysql2' for database adapter, but the gem is not loaded

    The solution is to change the Gemfile for any of the apps which are broken, to update them to the latest version of Rails, preferably using the 4-2-stable branch on github:

    #Gemfile
    gem 'rails', '~> 4.2.5', git: "git://github.com/rails/rails.git", branch: '4-2-stable'
