Can't seem to get bundler to update Jekyll 1.5.1 to latest

[jglovier]

I'm trying to update my personal site to use Jekyll 2.X.X locally, and cannot seem to get it to update for the life of me. I've tried everything I can think of, and it probably stems from my lack of knowledge around bundler, so I'm reaching out in despair for help.

When I try simply running bundle update, bundler does it's thing, but still ends up using Jekyll 1.5.1 at the end (maybe that command doesn't do what I think it should be doing):

Your bundle is updated!

Also tried deleting Gemfile.lock and just running bundle install, but that appears to do the same thing, and the result is just a new Gemfile.lock with the same Jekyll 1.5.1 listed. (Is there something wrong with the way my Gemfile is setup?)

So interestingly, when I run jekyll -v I get the following output, which I don't understand at all:

|===jglovier===| ~/code/github-jglovier/jglovier.github.io $ jekyll -v

Of course, if I run bundle exec jekyll -v I get the expected:

So I tried straight up doing gem update jekyll, and I get:

When I try bundle exec gem update jekyll, and I actually get:

...however when I run bundle exec jekyll -v it just shows:

|===jglovier===| ~/code/github-jglovier/jglovier.github.io $ bundle exec jekyll -v
jekyll 1.5.1

I even tried blowing away my entire local repo via rm -rf, and re-cloning from GitHub, and trying all this stuff again (in case it was just some odd bug), but no avail, and same results.

What am I doing wrong???

[mattr-]

The github-pages gem is what's constraining your Jekyll version here. A bundle update github-pages should get you the upgraded version of Jekyll you're looking for.

[mattr-]

You'll also want to make sure that when you do anything with Jekyll locally, that you always run things through bundle exec as that's the best way to ensure consistency.

[jglovier]

A bundle update github-pages should get you the upgraded version of Jekyll you're looking for.

@mattr- thanks for the help! However, running bundle update github-pages doesn't seem to affect anything. Still uses 1.5.1:

[jglovier]

cc jekyll/jekyll#3124 for another example case for that thread.

[jglovier]

A bundle update github-pages should get you the upgraded version of Jekyll you're looking for.

@mattr- also, shouldn't this have already been performed as part of running bundle update??

[alfredxing]

Perhaps what's confusing it is that you have both github-pages and jekyll in the Gemfile? Maybe try removing jekyll and bundle update again.

[jglovier]

@alfredxing so I tried removing jekyll from the Gemfile, and ran bundle update, but it's still using jekyll 1.5.1 😦

I also tried running gem cleanup, which returned:

|===jglovier===| ~/code/github-jglovier/jglovier.github.io $ gem cleanup

But I ran bundle update again afterward and it's still showing jekyll 1.5.1.

[jglovier]

How do you even computer??

[jglovier]

Should I be deleting the Gemfile.lock manually? I'm assuming that supposed to get's overwritten when I run bundle update and there is a new gem available. But is my assumption incorrect?

[jglovier]

What's weird here is when I run bundle install or bundle update again, I see version 20 of the GH pages gem listed:

However when I actually ask which version is installed, it tell sme version 31:

[alfredxing]

Maybe try removing Gemfile.lock, then gem uninstall github-pages jekyll, gem install github-pages, bundle install?

[jglovier]

@alfredxing btw thank you for your help!!

[mattr-]

@jglovier I've updated your Gemfile. Setting the explicit version for the github-pages gem and then running bundle update gets you where you want to go. Once the update is complete, you can remove that version specifier from your Gemfile.

I'm not sure why running bundle update doesn't take care of this for you, because this is exactly what it should do according to the docs. It would appear we've found a bug in Bundler.

[jglovier]

Setting the explicit version for the github-pages gem and then running bundle update gets you where you want to go.

Whoa - interesting.

Once the update is complete, you can remove that version specifier from your Gemfile.

So, interestingly, once I removed the version and ran bundle update again, it actually reverted back to version 20:

And Merry Christmas to all. 🎄 🎅

[alfredxing]

I just set up the same scenario and got the same result. Interestingly though, if I removed the gem 'jekyll-redirect-from' line in the Gemfile and did bundle update, it allowed for Pages version 31 and Jekyll 2.4...

Can you try that and see if you get the same result?

[jglovier]

Can you try that and see if you get the same result?

Yup, good catch. When I remove jekyll-redirect-from bundler updates to the latest versions! Should I open an issue on jekyll-redirect-from for that then? cc @parkr

[parkr]

Yup, good catch. When I remove jekyll-redirect-from bundler updates to the latest versions! Should I open an issue on jekyll-redirect-from for that then?

I don't think so – it's the way RubyGems resolves dependencies. If you specify gem 'jekyll-redirect-from' and in your Gemfile.lock it's locked to 0.3.1, then any time you run bundle install, it'll make sure all the other dependencies allow for this, by taking, for example, a version of github-pages which contained jekyll-redirect-from v0.3.1. If you delete your Gemfile.lock, or manually update your gem 'jekyll-redirect-from' to gem 'jekyll-redirect-from', '~> 0.6', and run bundle install, then you should be good to go. :)

[jglovier]

Ahh 🆒. @parkr as always, thanks for the education!
