So! You're having problems with Bundler. This file is here to help. If you're running into an error, try reading the rest of this file for help. If you can't figure out how to solve your problem, there are also instructions on how to report a bug.
Instructions for common Bundler uses can be found on the Bundler documentation site.
Detailed information about each Bundler command, including help with common problems, can be found in the Bundler man pages.
Please open a ticket with Heroku if you're having trouble deploying. They have a professional support team who can help you resolve Heroku issues far better than the Bundler team can. If the problem that you are having turns out to be a bug in Bundler itself, Heroku support can get the exact details to us.
First, figure out exactly what it is that you're trying to do. Then, go to the Bundler documentation website and see if we have instructions on how to do that.
Second, check the compatibility list, and make sure that the version of Bundler that you are using works with the versions of Ruby and Rubygems that you are using.
If the instructions don't work, or you can't find any instructions, you can try these troubleshooting steps:
# remove user-specific gems and git repos
rm -rf ~/.bundle/ ~/.gem/bundler/ ~/.gems/cache/bundler/
# remove system-wide git repos and git checkouts
rm -rf $GEM_HOME/bundler/ $GEM_HOME/cache/bundler/
# remove project-specific settings
rm -rf .bundle/
# remove project-specific cached gems and repos
rm -rf vendor/cache/
# remove the saved resolve of the Gemfile
rm -rf Gemfile.lock
# uninstall the rubygems-bundler and open_gem gems
rvm gemset use global # if using rvm
gem uninstall rubygems-bundler open_gem
# try to install one more time
bundle install
Hopefully the troubleshooting steps above resolved your problem. If things still aren't working the way you expect them to, please let us know so that we can diagnose and hopefully fix the problem you're having. When you report a problem, please include the following information:
- What you're trying to accomplish
- The command you ran
- What you expected to happen
- What actually happened
- The exception backtrace(s), if any
- Everything output by running
bundle env
If your version of Bundler does not have the bundle env
command, then please include:
- Your Gemfile
- Your Gemfile.lock
- Your Bundler configuration settings (run
bundle config
) - What version of bundler you are using (run
bundle -v
) - What version of Ruby you are using (run
ruby -v
) - What version of Rubygems you are using (run
gem -v
) - Whether you are using RVM, and if so what version (run
rvm -v
) - Whether you have the
rubygems-bundler
gem, which can break gem executables (rungem list rubygems-bundler
) - Whether you have the
open_gem
gem, which can cause rake activation conflicts (rungem list open_gem
)
If you are using Rails 2.3, please also include:
- Your boot.rb file
- Your preinitializer.rb file
- Your environment.rb file
If you have either rubygems-bundler
or open_gem
installed, please try removing them and then following the troubleshooting steps above before opening a new ticket.
Create a gist containing all of that information, then visit the Bundler issue tracker and create a ticket describing your problem and linking to your gist.
