Gemfile: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_end - "https://github.com/

[tomelam]

This happens whether I say y or n to the 'Create a GitHub repository?' option question. When Rails Composer subsequently runs 'bundle install', an error occurs.

THIS OUTPUT SHOWS PART OR ALL OF THE PROBLEM:

      extras  recipe stage three
      extras  recipe creating GitHub repository
         run    hub create mashweb_9 from "."
Updating origin
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
error: Could not fetch origin
         run    hub push -u origin master from "."
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

HERE IS OTHER OUTPUT THAT MIGHT SHOW THE PROBLEM:

         run  bundle install

The "Updating origin Permission denied (publickey)" problem was solved by fixing my SSH key for GitHub. (I don't know how or when that got broken. I thought it was working.) I checked on GitHub and found my Rails app finally got pushed. Rails apps I previously created with Rails Composer initialized empty repositories on GitHub somehow. (I don't know how if the SSH key was broken.)

The Gemfile-parsing error is still there.

[tomelam]

Apparently the problem (Gemfile parsing) does not exist for the combination of ruby-2.3.0 and rails-4.2.6.

[pconrad]

I'm still having this problem with the combination of ruby-2.3.3 and rails 5.0.1. I'll try ruby-2.3.0 and rails-4.2.6. and see if I can reproduce the "absence" of the error in that case.

[tomelam]

@pconrad I'll be watching your progress because it seems that when I use ruby-2.3.0 and rails-4.2.6 and choose the "confirmable" option for Devise I run into a problem with the "confirm!" method, which has been deprecated.

@tomelam Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Rails 5.0.1 broke Rails Composer. Made a small change to the regex that cleans up comments in the Gemfile and it is now fixed with RailsApps/rails_apps_composer@1e247ce.

@DanielKehoe Thanks for your monumental, faithful work on the example apps, books, and tutorials.
