[SOLVED] Why Bundler.require is not working the way it should

Why Bundler.require is not working the way it should

I have an application where I segregated all my gem based on groups

source 'http://rubygems.org'

...
...
...


group :development, :test do
  gem 'ruby-debug19', :require => 'ruby-debug'
  gem 'web-app-theme', '>= 0.6.2'
  gem 'faker'
  gem 'mailcatcher'
  gem "pry"
  gem 'annotate'
  gem "unicorn"
  gem "capistrano"
end

The important Thing over here is ruby-debug19 now in my config/application.rb I have defined

  Bundler.require *Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test))

Still when I start my server

rails server --debugger

it give me this below error

`require': no such file to load -- ruby-debug (LoadError)

I have remove the ruby-debug19 from development group and put it in default it the server works

I compared the both the Gemfile.lock in either case

cat Gemfile.lock > intial_lock (When ruby-debug19 is in development group)

ran

bundle list cat Gemfile.lock > final_lock (When ruby-debug19 is in default group)

also did a

diff initial_lock final_lock

No difference indicating the file are same

I also tried with

Bundler.require(:default, :assets, Rails.env)

Still no success

Can anyone let me know why Bundler.require is not working the way it should have

Solution

Check if you have not fall into the .bundle directory trap in your application directory It happen when you any time run anytime bundle install with --without options

Straight from bundle Gemfile manual

After running bundle install --without test, bundler will remember that you excluded the test group in the last installation. The next time you run bundle install, without any --without option, bundler will recall it.

just remove .bundle/config directory from your application directory please first check the content first before removing it

Hope this help
