I have a cms engine that I created not long back, I have used it many times with no problems. But as of today I keep getting this error when trying to update the engine/gem or if I push it to Heroku.
This is the error I get:
Error Bundler::HTTPError during request to dependency API
I know that the Rubygems "Dependency API" has been down over the last couple of days. But it should be up again. How can I troubleshoot this error further and determin whether this is a problem on my side or with Rubygems?
This answer may not be valid anymore, as the original question is about an older issue with the Rubygems Dependency API, which has been fixed.
Check out this mailing-list thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/rubygems-org/zP-lZ-lCbqM
According to it, a very temporary-only solution would be to replace
source 'https://rubygems.org'
with
source "http://bundler-api.herokuapp.com"
I also quote another mailing-list reply:
Just for the record, the reason it worked for you is that Bundler works just fine without the dependency API. It's a little slower, granted, but any Gemfile source line that worked before is going to keep working now.
