Only had to do this three times - so it is battle tested on my machines at least :)
tl;dr
xcode-install --select
brew update
brew upgrade
brew reinstall nginx
Long story
Apple’s new OSX Yosemite has been out for few weeks now - I have held out long enough and finally upgraded.
After upgraded - I upgraded all my homebrew packages just in case:
brew update
brew upgrade
And then I tried to run my Rails project. It won’t run, Nginx complained:
nginx: [emerg] mkdir() “/usr/local/var/run/nginx/client_body_temp” failed (2: No such file or directory)
Google took me to this Stackoverflow answer,
just creating the directory doesn’t sound legit - so why not reinstall nginx? With homebrew it’s as easy as brew reinstall nginx.
Problem solved.
And then I tried to upgrade my gems for the project - I had a feeling that I will encounter some issues with native gems, and I was right, bundle install failed on mysql gem - with following error:
Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/Users/cemeng/.rubies/ruby-2.1.2/bin/ruby extconf.rb

The error message was longer than that - but you see on the middle of that massive error block, it says:
You have to install development tools first.
So yes, do that: xcode-select –install
And that’s it - ready to work again!
