Can't generate ruby exe using ocra due to ARGV[0]

Question

Running the command ocra script.rb --no-autoload --no-enc --add-all-core gives me the error initialize: can't convert nil into String (TypeError) for the following line:

doc = Nokogiri::XML(File.open(ARGV[0]))

Whats going on here? I want to build the executable to be able to take any argument and use that file as the xml configuration.

Answer 1

Just add this above that line:

exit if defined? Ocra
# skip anything below this line when we're building the exe

Unless there's a require or otherwise loaded dependency below that line you should be fine.

Answer 2

It seems a long time but the accept solution doesn't work for me.

The working solution is adding -- then any fake data to your argument to make the execution flow to be just as normal

example for:

so you need to do

ocra yourscript.rb -- ANYDATAHERE
