Devise中的LoadError（无法加载bcrypt）

Question

So I'm having issues with creating users with Devise. It's an issue with "bcrypt".

Here is the error that's being generated

I looked at a few similar threads here and the solution was to install the bcrypt gem for Ruby. And so I went to rubygems.org and added the line in gem file then ran bundle install.

However, after that I try to run the server but it fails for some reason. Server won't start. Here is the error I received in GitBash:

NOTE: Before adding the gem, the server would run just fine.

Also here is my gem file

gem 'rails', '~> 5.0.2'
gem 'sqlite3'
gem 'puma', '~> 3.0'
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.2'
gem 'devise', '~> 4.2', '>= 4.2.1'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'turbolinks', '~> 5'
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.5'
gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1', '>= 3.1.11'

group :development, :test do
   gem 'byebug', platform: :mri
end

group :development do
  gem 'web-console', '>= 3.3.0'
end

gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: [:mingw, :mswin, :x64_mingw, :jruby]

Answer 1

I don't think you need to set the explicitly bcrypt in your Gemfile. Devise already includes bcrypt as a runtime dependency. Try to remove the bcrypt gem from your Gemfile, run bundle update and the restart your server. That worked for me.

Answer 2

Based on ajeferson's asnwer.

This thread has the solution: github.com/codahale/bcrypt-ruby/issues/142

Answer 3

I had the same issue, and for me, whenever I run bundle install, it installs two versions of bcrypt:

1. bcrypt-3.1.11
2. bcrypt-3.1.11-x86-mingw32

Therefore, If I just executed " gem uninstall bcrypt " and deleted the (2), then it worked fine.

To make sure it will not be installed again, I specify the platform on my Gemfile, like this:

gem 'bcrypt', platform: :ruby
