Bundler not working with rbenv, could not find [gem]

Question

I\'ve just made the switch from rvm to rbenv and I\'m trying to use bundler for gem management. After running bundle install and trying to run

Answer 1

I tried all the stuff here, but what did it for me was discovering that I had a .bundler in my user home directory for some reason. This was causing the weird problem above where the 'which' command correctly listed bundle in the shims path, but checking bundle -v showed the old system version, while /Users/jerimiah/.rbenv/shims/bundle showed the latest versions. I deleted .bundler in my home directory, rehashed, restarted my terminal, and everything started working.

Answer 2

For anyone coming across this issue. This is the easiest solution to the "Can't find gem bundle situation (>= 0.a)

Command:

gem update --system 

Then update bundler command:

bundle update --bundler

Answer 3

Give this rbenv plugin a try, it will make shims aware of the bundler paths

Answer 4

I was having the same issue. One hint was that rbenv exec bundle exec command worked and that rbenv exec bundle install --path vendor/bundle worked, but their prefixed equivalents failed.

I wiped my ~/.rbenv, ~/.gem Gemfile.lock and vendor/bundle a few times trying to start fresh. Once these were cleaned away I tried the following:

rbenv install 1.9.3-p194
rbenv rehash # for paranoia's sake
rbenv global 1.9.3-p194
gem env # to check that everything was pointing at 1.9 and not the system
gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc bundler
rbenv rehash # necessary to load up the bundle executable
bundle --path=vendor/bundle

and it worked!

I think the important thing, since I tried this a few times, is to remove the .gem file from your home directory. It seems to get in the way.
