ruby invalid option dash colon Or When Ruby Goes Insane in the Brain

Mar 24, 2020

This is a short one but a weird one. My main box rebooted today and when I went to create a blog post, I got this madness:

❯ jekyll post "A Social Media Marketing Strategy that Mom Would Approve"
ruby: invalid option -:  (-h will show valid options) (RuntimeError)

In all my years of ruby, I've never seen -:. All the normal jiggery pokery of:

  • which ruby
  • rvm list

etc failed to give me any insights. I finally found the answer on an obscure Github issue that said "unset RUBYOPT" so:

❯ unset RUBYOPT

And that gave me back:

blog on  gh-pages [🤷‍] via 💎 v2.3.1 on ☁️  us-west-2 
❯ ruby --version
ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-darwin16]

And now, once again, I can (joyfully) write!
