Known Issues

The installation does not start

Issue: The installation of the bake gem does not start. (This is often caused by a password-protected internal proxy.)

Solution:

  • Check your network connection.

  • Unlock the password protected proxy by opening an external webpage (e.g. google) using your web browser.

Invalid Language Settings

Issue:* The error parsers in bake assume English language.

Solution:

Adjust your language settings e.g by setting the environment variable LC_ALL.

Example:

LC_ALL=en_US

Note

Depending on the system and the compiler the way how to change the language might be different.

Error Message During the installation

Issue: Ruby throws an error during the installation.

Solution: Usually you will see an error like this:

ERROR:  While generating documentation for ...
... MESSAGE:   Error while evaluating ...
   undefined method `gsub' for nil:NilClass ...

This is a ruby bug. However, the gems were installed correctly. You can avoid building the documentation by installing bake like this:

User@Host:~$ gem install bake-toolkit --no-rdoc --no-ri
