strange behavior with Rye::Box instances in a Hash

[torstello]

Hi,
i'm a sysadmin working on a tool for doing my daily tasks on my server farm.
Due to the fact that i have around 70 hosts and also put them in logical groups together, i do initialize Rye:Boxes and Rye::Sets in Hashes and later work with them.

That leads to an behavior, i can not work with and also absolutely don't understand:

My ENV:

0 % ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin12.4.0]

0 % gem list G rye
rye (0.9.11)

Example in irb:

> a = {}
=> {}

> hostname = 'localhost'
=> "localhost"

> a[hostname] = Rye::Box.new(host="#{hostname}", :safe => false)
=> #<Rye::Box:localhost name=localhost cwd= umask= env="" safe=false opts={:port=>nil, :keys=>["/Users/ts/.ssh/id_rsa"]} keys=["/Users/ts/.ssh/id_rsa"]>

now comes the (not so) funny part, this doesn't work:

> a.each_value {|v| v.uptime}
=> {"localhost"=>#<Rye::Box:localhost name=localhost cwd= umask= env="" safe=false opts={:port=>nil, :keys=>["/Users/ts/.ssh/id_rsa"], :user=>"ts"} keys=["/Users/ts/.ssh/id_rsa"]>}

but i'm working with an Rye::Box object with an existing method 'uptime'

> a.each_value {|v| puts v.class}
Rye::Box

> a.each_value {|v| puts v.public_methods.grep(/uptime/)}
uptime

but this works:

> a['localhost'].uptime
=> [17:59  up 13 days,  3:27, 2 users, load averages: 0.69 0.63 0.64, , 0, ]

I also create Rye::Sets in a Hash and populate them with the boxes out of another hash but this somehow leads to losing my ssh-key, so i get a password prompt... But i first want to understand this simple example above.

If you could help me out i would really appreciate that.

Best,
Torsten

Hmm that's odd. Thanks for all the detail. I'll have to take a look.

in debug mode i saw that the command is actually executed.
So this works

irb(main):005:0> a.each_value do |v|
irb(main):006:1* r = v.uptime
irb(main):007:1> puts r
irb(main):008:1> end

10:37  up  2:24, 2 users, load averages: 0.99 0.84 0.80
=> {"localhost"=>#<Rye::Box:localhost name=localhost cwd= umask= env="" safe=false opts={:port=>nil, :keys=>["/Users/ts/.ssh/id_rsa"], :user=>"ts"} keys=["/Users/ts/.ssh/id_rsa"]>}

so i'm fine with that :)

Also forget my comment about the Rye::Sets, i found my mistake in adding the boxes, so everything is working now.

+1 have the same issue. for the code retrieving box from a hash I've got the same error

  private
  # Retrieve or set rye_session
  def fetch_rye(node=nil, ssh_config=nil)
    if @@rye_session[node].nil?
      puts "==> new"
      @@rye_session = Rye::Box.new(node, ssh_config || self.ssh_config)
    else

  end
