Can't write to lockfile while frozen Ruby on Rails

Question

Hello I'm trying to run the following commands to prep my Rails app for production:

bundle lock --add-platform ruby

bundle lock --add-platform x86_64-linux

Then I get this error:

Cannot write a changed lockfile while frozen.

What is going on here? What is the lockfile for? What does it mean to be frozen?

Running the following command allowed me to write to my lock file

bundle config unset deployment

Once this is done, the add-platform works, but do I need to set deployment again? – stevex Apr 28 '23 at 14:19

thats because you are in production and you dont want any changes to you Gemfile.lock file in deployment, so you freeze it, to unfreeze it run:

bundle config unset frozen
