Issue #19371 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans). I can confirm this issue. We recently experienced it in rack's CI (https://github.com/rack/rack/actions/runs/3955055993/jobs/6776667247#step:3…). In our case, we were able to easily work around the issue because the gem that was pulling in psych (rdoc) wasn't actually needed in CI, so we just removed it as a dependency. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19371: Having Psych 5 installed raises an error during another gem's C-extension installation when parsing YAML https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19371#change-101427 * Author: tombruijn (Tom de Bruijn) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [aarch64-linux] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ## Summary There's an issue on Ruby versions with Psych 4 installed by default (Ruby 2.6 through 3.1) after installing the Psych gem version 5. This problem occurs when a Ruby gem has a C-extension installation script that parses a YAML string. I'm reporting it here and not with on the Psych gem repo, because it looks more like an issue with which Ruby C-extension is load during other gem's C-extension installation. ## Background I have a gem that parses a YAML string in the C-extension installation script, or it calls `Gem.configuration[:http_proxy]`, which parses the `.gemrc` file as YAML. This triggers the error mentioned below. This YAML parsing is done in the gem's `ext/extconf.rb` file. An example gem can be found in this repository: https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-gem, see the [`ext/extconf.rb` file](https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-gem/blob/main/ext/extconf.rb#…. ## The problem On Ruby 3.1.3 Psych version 4 is installed by default. When it parses the YAML file, it will use Psych 4. When Psych 5 is also installed on Ruby 3.1.3, it is no longer be able to parse the YAML file. The following error is raised: ``` $ bundle install Fetching https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-gem.git Resolving dependencies...

In Psych version 4, this method is [defined by the Psych C-extension](https://github.com/ruby/psych/blob/2c3708e0a483c6d44ebddaff0b5…. In Psych version 5 the `parse` method is [defined in the gem's Ruby code](https://github.com/ruby/psych/blob/1f23e6e7f0ab4a6efab598c1ee528bb52d…. This method calls a [C function registered as the private `_native_parse` method](https://github.com/ruby/psych/blob/1f23e6e7f0ab4a6efab598c1ee528bb5…, which is the renamed version of the `parse` C-function in Psych version 4. From what I can tell, the Psych version 4 C-extension is no longer loaded when Psych version 5 is installed in this scenario. There is a mix up in which Psych gem version's C-extension is loaded during my dummy gem's C-extension installation. It load the Psych 4 Ruby code, with the Psych 5 C-extension∂. I confirmed this by modifying the standard installed Psych gem's code on Ruby 3.1 (Docker image `ruby:3.1`), with the following the change, which prints `true` on error. This means the Psych 4 gem has the Psych 5 C-extension loaded where `_native_parse` is defined. ```diff diff --git lib/psych.rb lib/psych.rb index 42d79ef..1a690d2 100644 --- lib/psych.rb +++ lib/psych.rb @@ -452,6 +452,9 @@ def self.parser def self.parse_stream yaml, filename: nil, &block if block_given? parser = Psych::Parser.new(Handlers::DocumentStream.new(&block)) + # This returns `true`, but it should be `false`. The `_native_parse` + # method is defined in the Psych 5 C-extension, not Psych 4. + puts parser.respond_to? :_native_parse, true # => true parser.parse yaml, filename ``` This error only occurs during the gem's extension installation in `ext/extconf.rb`. If the gem parses YAML when a Ruby app is running, it will not produce the same error with Psych version 5 installed. This issue does not occur on Ruby 3.2, where Psych version 5 is installed by default. I have confirmed this error occurs on the latest patch releases of the following Ruby versions: 3.1, 3.0, 2.7 and 2.6. ``` $ gem list psych psych (5.0.2, default: 4.0.3) ``` ## Code to reproduce Here is a basic Ruby gem that only parses a YAML file during extension installation: https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-gem Here is a small project that triggers the error: https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-ruby-app A GitHub actions workflow shows the results for all affected Ruby versions: https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-ruby-app/actions/runs/3969088933 The [example app repo](https://github.com/tombruijn/yaml-dummy-ruby-app) also has instructions to run the example app locally.

Issue #19371 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). Status changed from Assigned to Third Party's Issue This error caused Psych 4 was already activated by `Gem::ConfigFile` via `Gem.configuration`. After that, Psych 5 try to call `_native_parse` from Psych 4 binary in your code. I have no idea to fix this yet. We mitigate this C extension conflict with [pure ruby yaml parser](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/bundler/lib/bundle… without gemspec parsing. @tombruijn I'll do work this issue at https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems. Can you move this issue to rubygems repo?
