Bundle install is not working

Question

I'm developing Ruby on Rails on Windows.

Something went wrong with our local network and can't access https://www.rubygems.org, seems like it is blocked or something.

But I can access it through http://www.proxyfoxy.com.

Below is the result of bundle install:

$ bundle install

Fetching source index from https://rubygems.org/

Retrying fetcher due to error (2/4): Bundler::HTTPError Could not fetch specs from https://rubygems.org/

Retrying fetcher due to error (3/4): Bundler::HTTPError Could not fetch specs from https://rubygems.org/

Retrying fetcher due to error (4/4): Bundler::HTTPError Could not fetch specs from https://rubygems.org/

Could not fetch specs from https://rubygems.org/

Is there any other way to install gems through bundle install?

Solution 1

It's a connectivity issue.

I solved it through hideMe VPN. It is used to bypass blocked websites or for servers down only for a particular user.

Now everything seems to work just fine.

Solution 2

Open the Gemfile and change first line from this

source 'https://www.rubygems.org'

to this

source 'http://www.rubygems.org'

remove the 's' from 'https'.

Solution 3

As @Wasif mentioned, first make sure the Ruby Gems site is up and your network access is ok.

If they works fine, try it like this:

• First, delete your Gemfile.lock file

• Then run gem update --system

• Then in your Gemfile try changing the first line source 'https://rubygems.org'to http:// (without an s)

Unless there is a problem with your connectivity this should fix the issue with bundle install.

Solution 4

I resolve this issue disabling the IPv6 connections in my system OS. It forces the OS just use the IPv4 and then it works.

If your active network is WiFi enter the following command:

networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi

If you are on Ethernet:

networksetup -setv6off Ethernet

You may combine both of commands to disable IPv6 on WiFi and Ethernet at the same time:

networksetup -setv6off Ethernet && networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi

To re-enable IPv6, you need to replace setv6off to setv6automatic (the default state in macOS), for example:

networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi && networksetup -setv6automatic Ethernet

Solution 5

While gem is stalling, I ran netstat

netstat -tnp | grep ruby

and I got below output

(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp6       0      1 2401:4900:188e:90:56960 2a04:4e42:600::644:443  SYN_SENT    4096/ruby

and 2a04:4e42:600::644:443 is one of the addresses of api.rubygems.org

My conclusion is that gem uses IPv6 when it can.

So disabling IPV6 on my workstation fixed it.

Below are the steps to temporarily disabled IPV6 on Ubuntu. IPV6 will be enabled after system restart.

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

Note: Use sudo for permission denied issue.

@soorapadman this isn't a link only answer. Please read it more thoroughly. ACHYUT KADAM is suggesting to change the line source 'https://www.rubygems.org'.

@CaptainMan my bad apologies.

Well, I had a similar issue with Ruby 1.9.3 (required due to a certain system), and this actually worked. It complained a lot about MITM etc, but it did work
