bundle install not installing all dependencies

Question

I am on Mac OS X, and when I run sudo bundle install, it installs several gems on the target machine:

Installing ptools (1.2.1) 
Using thor (0.14.6) 
Using railties (3.0.5) 
Using rails (3.0.5) 
Installing rails_config (0.2.4) 
Using shoulda (2.11.3) 
Your bundle is updated! Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
imac-cf:gnymbus apple$ rails console
Could not find rake-0.9.2 in any of the sources
imac-cf:gnymbus apple$ sudo gem install rake-0.9.2
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rake-0.9.2' (>= 0) in any repository

-bash: sduo: command not found
imac-cf:gnymbus apple$ sudo gem install i18n -v=0.6.0
Successfully installed i18n-0.6.0
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for i18n-0.6.0...
Installing RDoc documentation for i18n-0.6.0...

So, it should be safe to assume that dependencies are resolved for the app, and things are ready to go. But they are not.

When I run rails console, I constantly receive output about more and more and more and more unresolved dependencies:

Is Rails really this difficult? Do I really have to install dependencies manually, one by one? What am I doing wrong?

Solution 1

Okay, the problem was that I had to not run bundle install using sudo.

What a pain. Why are these sorts of things not documented somewhere?

Solution 2

1. Delete Gemfile.lock
2. Delete all gems under root (it's prefer)
3. Update rubygems
4. gem install bundler
5. bundle install

Solution 3

I used

bundle update 

it updated all the Gemfiles and installed the missing gems. No sudo, since using RVM

Solution 4

If you are using Vagrant, try restarting your VM. Often when going back and forth between work and home I've noticed that the VM's connection to the outside world gets hosed. In this case running rails console will check for any unmet dependencies and fail simply because it can't connect to ruby gems.org.

It's a really bad error message and has caught me off-guard on more than one occasion.

Solution 5

On Mac OSX, I had the same problem. All I needed to do was:

gem install bundler
