Description Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-05-29 07:30:34 UTC 
This line:
> lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:  var python = gyp.opts.python || process.env.PYTHON || 'python2'

defaults to the wrong python executable name: python2 It should be python2.7

This causes failures like this:
> gyp ERR! configure error 
> gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "/usr/local/bin/python2", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

Merged to 2019Q2 (quarterly)
Comment 7 mvharding 2020-06-25 05:05:44 UTC 
This patch was apparently deleted by ports r505851. I was trying to get rails 6.0 working and it was very confusing!

'export PYTHON=python2.7'
before
'rails new app'
is a workaround.

This bug should probably be reopened.
Comment 8 mvharding 2020-06-25 13:39:47 UTC 
Actually, since rails seems to install multiple ruby and node packages on its own, I'll let the www/rails60 maintainer know about what happened, it's not clear that this bug needs to be reopened at this time.
