I really tried to figure this out before posting, but alas, here I am. I am trying to install Dradis on Kali, and running into the following issue:

Fetching childprocess 1.0.1

An error occurred while installing childprocess (1.0.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install childprocess -v '1.0.1' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

In Gemfile:
  webdrivers was resolved to 4.1.1, which depends on
    selenium-webdriver was resolved to 3.142.3, which depends on
      childprocess

== Command ["bundle install"] failed ==

I installed all the dependencies, so I thought. Any suggestions/help?

Thank you very much.

@fujiyama17 are you using these installation instructions? Installing Dradis on Kali Linux | Dradis Framework If so, can you confirm what commit your instance is on? This should do the trick:
git log | head -n 1

That is the guide I was using, and I received exactly the same error. This is on a freshly built Kali box. The commit Iā€™m showing is: 767c36d1dfc5abbf46e4b488b1de8e2a591f485e.

I had a similar issue @fujiyama17 @jlacoss , Looks like I was missing rake from being installed. I ran gem install rake then reran in the install script and it appeared to work

Same problem and rake install fixed it.
