Could not find gem rails

Question

I am trying to build a docker container but getting the following error message:

Step 8/12 : RUN bundle binstubs bundler --force
 ---> Running in ed94b127974b
Could not find gem 'rails (>= 5.1.5, ~> 5.1)' in any of the gem sources listed
in your Gemfile.
ERROR: Service 'dockerzon' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c bundle binstubs bundler --force' returned a non-zero code: 7

I have tried with different versions of rails in my Gemfile with no success! This is what I have in my Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'


# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
# gem 'rails', '4.2.6'
# gem 'rails', '>= 5.1.5'
gem 'rails', '~> 5.1', '>= 5.1.5'
# Use sqlite3 as the database for Active Record
# gem 'sqlite3'
# Use SCSS for stylesheets
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0.7'
# Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets
gem 'uglifier', '>= 4.1.6'
# Use CoffeeScript for .coffee assets and views
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.2.2'
# See https://github.com/rails/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
# gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby

# Use jquery as the JavaScript library
gem 'jquery-rails'
# Turbolinks makes following links in your web application faster. Read more: https://github.com/rails/turbolinks
gem 'turbolinks'
# Build JSON APIs with ease. Read more: https://github.com/rails/jbuilder
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.7'
# bundle exec rake doc:rails generates the API under doc/api.
gem 'sdoc', '~> 1.0.0', group: :doc

# Use ActiveModel has_secure_password
# gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.7'

# Use Unicorn as the app server
# gem 'unicorn'

# Use Capistrano for deployment
# gem 'capistrano-rails', group: :development

group :development, :test do
  # Call 'byebug' anywhere in the code to stop execution and get a debugger console
  gem 'byebug'
end

group :development do
  # Access an IRB console on exception pages or by using <%= console %> in views
  gem 'web-console', '~> 3.5.1'

  # Spring speeds up development by keeping your application running in the background. Read more: https://github.com/rails/spring
  gem 'spring'
end

gem 'pg', '~> 1.0.0'
gem 'redis-rails', '~> 5.0.2'
gem 'sidekiq', '~> 5.1.1'
gem 'puma', '~> 3.11.2'
gem 'rack-timeout', '~> 0.4.2'

and this is my Dockerfile:

# Use the barebones version of Ruby 2.5
FROM ruby:2.5-slim

# Optionally set a maintainer name to let people know who made this image.

# Install dependencies:
# - build-essential: To ensure certain gems can be compiled
# - nodejs: Compile assets
# - libpq-dev: Communicate with postgres through the postgres gem
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -qq -y --no-install-recommends \
      build-essential nodejs libpq-dev

# Set an environment variable to store where the app is installed to inside
# of the Docker image. The name matches the project name out of convention only.
ENV INSTALL_PATH /dockerzon
RUN mkdir -p $INSTALL_PATH

# This sets the context of where commands will be ran in and is documented
# on Docker's website extensively.
WORKDIR $INSTALL_PATH

# Ensure gems are cached and only get updated when they change. This will
# drastically increase build times when your gems do not change.
COPY Gemfile Gemfile

# We want binstubs to be available so we can directly call sidekiq and
# potentially other binaries as command overrides without depending on
# bundle exec.
# RUN bundle install --binstubs
RUN bundle binstubs bundler --force

# Copy in the application code from your work station at the current directory
# over to the working directory.
COPY . .

# Provide a dummy DATABASE_URL to Rails so it can pre-compile assets.
RUN bundle exec rake RAILS_ENV=production DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:[email protected]/dbname SECRET_TOKEN=dummytoken assets:precompile

# Ensure the static assets are exposed through a volume so that nginx can read
# in these values later.
VOLUME ["$INSTALL_PATH/public"]

# The default command that gets ran will be to start the Puma server.
CMD bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb

Solution 1

Try to update the version of your RubyGems:

gem update --system

Then change the line in Gemfile to:

gem 'rails', '~> 5.1.5'

Now run bundler to install the gems:

bundle install

Solution 2

Add below lines in your Dockerfile

RUN gem install rails

ruby:2.5-slim this docker image doesn't contain rails. It only contains ruby. You can't install rails using Gemfile. You have to install rails before bundling your gemfile.

Thanks for that @Atish. Now I am getting the error with the next gem in the file! Could not find gem 'sass-rails (~> 5.0.7)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile. ERROR: Service 'dockerzon' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c bundle binstubs bundler --force' returned a non-zero code: 7

[Admin]

Remove '~> 5.0.7' from saas-rails and '~> 4.2.2' from coffee-rails in Gemfile. Let gem file take the installed version of these gems. There must be rails 5.1 version installed, which is the latest one, thats why saas-rails 5.0 version is giving not found error.

that didn't work Step 9/13 : RUN bundle binstubs bundler --force ---> Running in bd13ecd38b04 Could not find gem 'sass-rails' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile. ERROR: Service 'dockerzon' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c bundle binstubs bundler --force' returned a non-zero code: 7. The gems install from the Gemfile if I run "bundle install" but not if I run bundle binstubs bundler --force which I am trying to use

[gbaz]

Thanks @Kandy. This works fine if I run "bundle install" like you suggested but not if I run "bundle binstubs bundler --force" which I am trying to use

Still helpful in 2021. Thanks :)
