Rails3 server and bundler error: uninitialized constant Bundler (NameError)

29,526

Solution 1

It isn't a bug in Bundler (or Rails), It's a bug (?!) in gems system, I think... So.. I also have gem 'rawr', which have file 'bundler.rb' and gems system load it instead of 'bundler/../bundler.rb'.

I removed rawr, but now I can't use jemini... But my problem closed now.

Solution 2

it works after adding:

gem install bundler

and after adding:

gem 'bundler'

in line 2 in config/boot.rb (just after require 'rubygems')

Solution 3

Please confirm paths of ruby and rake command.

$ which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
$ which rake
/usr/local/bin/rake

I got the same error. In my case, I installed Rails with /usr/bin/ruby, but rake uses /usr/local/bin/ruby. This is why I got the error related to Bundler.

    I just install rails 3 and all gems that it need, but when I try to start server, it says about problem in boot script.

    [rap-kasta@acerAspire testR3]$ script/rails server  
    /home/rap-kasta/tmp/testR3/config/boot.rb:7:in `rescue in <top (required)>': uninitialized constant Bundler (NameError)  
            from /home/rap-kasta/tmp/testR3/config/boot.rb:2:in `<top (required)>'  
            from script/rails:9:in `require'  
            from script/rails:9:in `<main>  
    

    So, I tried to reinstall Bundler, install "pre"-version (but really it has version number lower then i install by gem install bundler

    rack (1.1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.0)
    rack-mount (0.5.1, 0.4.0)
    rack-openid (0.2.3, 0.2.2)
    rack-test (0.5.3)
    rails (3.0.0.beta, 2.3.5, 2.3.4)

    [rap-kasta@acerAspire testR3]$ bundle check
    /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-0.9.5/bin/bundle:12:in `rescue in <top (required)>': uninitialized constant Bundler::BundlerError (NameError)
            from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-0.9.5/bin/bundle:10:in `<top (required)>'
            from /usr/bin/bundle:19:in `load'
