GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: x/y/z/.../xx.lock

[honood]

After installing Ruby 3.3.5, I got the following many warning messages like the following when updating or installing gems:

GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: /Users/Me/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.3.5/bin/ri.lock
GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: /Users/Me/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.3.5/bin/racc.lock
GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: /Users/Me/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.3.5/bin/rdoc.lock
GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: /Users/Me/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.3.5/bin/rdbg.lock

GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: /Users/Me/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.3.5/bin/racc.lock

The installed gem-wrapper is 1.4.0.

I presume the .lock files do not need any gem wrapper. I found the output so much distracting that I temporarily commented out the warning message:

sed -i "s/warn \"GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: #{target_path}\"/# warn \"GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: #{target_path}\"/g" ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-3.3.5/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/gem-wrappers-1.4.0/lib/gem-wrappers/installer.rb

Obviously, a more proper fix would be to ignore the lock files somehow.

I went a even more drastic way, as I don't need wrappers, and I surely hadn't installed the wrapper gem manually so it must have been installed by rvm, I just ended uninstalling it:

gem uninstall -i ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-3.3.5/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0 gem-wrappers

RubyGems 3.5.19 and Bundler 2.5.19 remove the .lock files that trigger the warnings from GemWrappers.

@martinbarilik I'd let RubyGems know there's still an issue. After a very quick read through of the code, I don't think this is a problem with GemWrappers - it's just warning that it's seeing unexpected files.

If anyone else is having this issue, the fix seems to be to get the .lock files removed. If you're still having trouble, a workaround is to manually remove the .lock files, in the directory that is reported in the warning.

Removing the .lock files eliminated the warnings for me. Thanks.
