Bundler not able to use gem?

Question

This is what is currently in my terminal. After Successfully setting up a rails app and making sure it worked. I set up the gem react-rails in my gem file. Then committed everything and from there I ran bundle install. Then I got an error stating that it could not find the babel-source-5.8.35 in any of the sources. but clearly its in my bundle ENV

Use `bundle info [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

➜  calendaract git:(master) rails g react:install
Could not find babel-source-5.8.35 in any of the sources
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.

So I Run bundle install, and clearly see my gem available locally all my paths and shims are set correctly. But when I run the generate script i get cannot find babel-source 5.8.35 and would love some help on what to do to be able to run?

rails generate react:install

Answer 1

It seems when you trying to do bundle install dependency for react-rails is missing so you need to either add babel-source to the Gemfile file list or install manually.

before starting check if that gem exist in your gem list:

gem list|grep babel-source # grep for ubuntu users you can use other alternative for other OS

and check whether it showing that gem and it is returning correct version or not else retry bundle install again as follows:

At first i suggest you to follow react github doc just make sure you haven't missed anything from it. if you still facing problem after that try adding that dependency gem as follows:

inside your Gemfile you can add this just above react-rails so that it meets the dependency when it tries to install. just make sure to remove Gemfile.lock so that it will be fresh installation.

gem 'babel-source', '~> 5.8.35'

then

bundle install

check whether your log and confirm your facing that error again or not if your facing again try manually you can run this in terminal:

gem install babel-source -v 5.8.35

then

bundle install

if it is successful run generate command for React.

all the above commands are debugging process since i cannot add much details into the comment option i'm posting it here so please let me know the results of it
