Cannot build http-parser native extension on Heroku

[arbales]

I've been unable to build the http-parser gem on Heroku with Ruby 3.0+. Have tried bumping my Ruby version to no avail.

Have you managed to find a fix for this? I have kind of the same issue, where on local it works, but it fails on the CI, with the same message.

It worked on ruby 2.7.5. Now I am trying to go to 3.0.3, and it's failing.

[arbales]

Yes! Bump your http gem version or build it from source, it removes this dependency.

[erwinwolff]

I have this same problem. What was your fix?

[arbales]

See above, just use the gem from GitHub.

[erwinwolff]

Still doesnt really work

rake --version
rake, version 13.0.6

[arbales]

Ah sorry, you know -- I updated the http gem not this parser gem. The http gem removes this dep in their update. I wasn't able to build http-parser.

Bumping up the http version helped. Somehow, we had an older version of rake bound in the Gemfile, updating that helped us update http and get rid of this dependency.
