Two versions of gems in production rails deployment

Question

I think i have some issues with my gemfile in production, as it differs from my development, which i believe is causing my deployment (Capistrano) to fail, well at bundle install time at least

group :production do

end

# Deploy with Capistrano
  gem 'capistrano'

#run with passenger
  gem 'passenger'

The problem i am getting is when deploying the application cannot find the will_paginate gem. Am i correct in saying that it looks like i have two gemsets trying to work here? Im not quite sure, dont want to mess up my production environment so thought best to get some advice on this one

do you have `require "bundler/capistrano"` in your cap recipe? — mikdiet, Apr 12 '13 at 12:01
i havent but i tried that and it didnt work, got error couldnt find bundler , how can i get my produciton gemset to match that of development, that may fix the issue i believe — Richlewis, Apr 12 '13 at 12:02

You need in your deploy.rb

require "bundler/capistrano"

set :bundle_cmd, '/path/to/bundle'

So bundler will install all necessary gems automatically.

Otherwise you need to do it manually.

thanks, silly question, the path/to/bundle where is this typically? ie what is the path/to/bundle? /Gemfile – Richlewis Apr 12 '13 at 12:08
some examples: `/home/user/.rbenv/shims/bundle`, `/home/user/.gems/bin/bundle` – mikdiet Apr 12 '13 at 12:13
dont have anything that looks like that, not that i can see..what is the manual way for now? – Richlewis Apr 12 '13 at 12:18
hang on in the root of my app i have /.bundle/config and in the config file is this --- BUNDLE_WITHOUT: production this isnt correct is it? – Richlewis Apr 12 '13 at 12:35
ok, and when looking in production i have a shared folder but no reference to bundle anywhere or did removing the folder above resolve this issue do you think? – Richlewis Apr 12 '13 at 12:48
couldnt get your suggestions to work so what i have done is in production specified a gemset so rvm use @global then ran bundle install, seems to work now, guess will have to wait until i deploy again to see if anything fails – Richlewis Apr 12 '13 at 13:30

If it is working in development environment in your machine, then I think you should push your Gemfile.lock along with your code and deploy the application. Then bundle install in your production environment also installs the same gems versions as in your development environment.

well in my production environment Gemfile.lock has will_paginate, so should i just run bundle install in production? sorry for all the questions – Richlewis Apr 12 '13 at 12:43
Which version that it has listed in the repository's Gemfile.lock? If you are using a gemset, remove the gemset, create a new gemset with same name, install bundler and run, bundle install. If necessary, you can fix your will_paginate gem version to be '3.0.4'(which is giving error, by leaving as '> 3.0.0'). – Prem Apr 12 '13 at 12:54
