Please try with the newest version of Passenger to avoid issues that have already been fixed

Question 1: What is the problem?

• What is the expected behavior?
• What is the actual behavior? Passenger failed to spawn a ruby process.
• How can we reproduce it? Please try to provide a sample application (or Virtual Machine) demonstrating the issue. Otherwise, if we can't reproduce it, we might have to ask you a number of followup questions or run certain commands to try and figure out the problem.

Be as detailed as possible in your descriptions, include any logs and stack traces (don't just cut/paste the error, provide some logging before that too).

(if you are requesting a feature instead of reporting an issue, describe here what you have in mind and how it would help you)

Your answer:

behavior

I want Passenger can correctly spawn a ruby process, but it failed. In the integration with GitLab, passenger was a replacement of puma. After nginx was started, when access the domain, nginx's error log reports like below:

Could not spawn process for application /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails: The application encountered the following error: Could not find grape-swagger-1.5.0, grape-swagger-entity-0.5.1, graphql-docs-2.1.0, lefthook-1.2.6, rubocop-1.38.0, solargraph-0.47.2, letter_opener_web-2.0.0, lookbook-1.2.1, better_errors-2.9.1, sprite-factory-1.7.1, listen-3.7.1, deprecation_toolkit-1.5.1,
...
notiffany-0.1.3, shellany-0.0.1 in any of the sources (Bundler::GemNotFound)

but in gitlab-rails's Gemfile, all these missing gems was in group development and test or has an attribution require: false. Even if I explicit set environment by passenger_app_env production, it's still not work.

Reproduce

1. Install GitLab
