Weird rails error “permission denied: bin/rails” for old rails apps

Question

I\'m getting this error whenever I run rails (or any rails command) _rails_command:2: permission denied: bin/rails ONLY when i\'m inside some

Answer 1

So what worked for me, anyone coming across this issue is to run

bundle exec rake app:update:bin

You'll be given a prompt asking if you want to overwrite? The options here are:

• Y - yes (default one, just press Enter for it)
• n - no (leave current file without changes)
• a - all (apply all changes)
• q - quit
• d - diff
• h - help

I chose a and it seemed to work ok.
