Simple use of EM::Synchrony#sync causes 'root fiber' FiberError — my fault?

问题

This program

require 'em-synchrony' ## v1.0.0                                                                                                                               
require 'em-hiredis'   ## v0.1.0                                                                                                                               

module EventMachine
  module Hiredis
    class Client

      def self.connect(host = 'localhost', port = 6379)
        conn = new(host, port)
        EM::Synchrony.sync conn.connect
    conn
      end

      alias :old_method_missing :method_missing
      def method_missing(sym, *args)
        EM::Synchrony.sync old_method_missing(sym, *args)
      end
    end
  end
end

EventMachine.synchrony do
  redis = EM::Hiredis.connect

  redis.set('foo', 'bar')
  puts redis.get('foo')

  EM.stop
end

dies like this

I find this deeply confusing. Why doesn't it work and am I at fault? If so, what can I do differently? Unless I've glossed over something, this is kosher, per the em-synchrony README.

I think your code can work if you find the correct version of em-hiredis it is trying to monkey patch, that is one problem with loose dependencies.

Here is a fully working code but based on the master branch of em-synchrony:

Gemfile:

source :rubygems

gem 'em-synchrony', :git => "git://github.com/igrigorik/em-synchrony.git"
gem 'em-hiredis', '~> 0.1.0'

test.rb:

require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'

require 'em-synchrony'
require 'em-synchrony/em-hiredis'

EventMachine.synchrony do
  redis = EM::Hiredis.connect

  redis.set('foo', 'bar')
  puts redis.get('foo')

  EM.stop
end

and then run it with:

$ bundle
$ ruby test.rb

Monkey patching is an inherently flawed way of patching gems unless you ensure the exact version of the gem you patched is used which is something em-synchrony should enforce or at least detect.
