I keep getting the error when trying to deploy my site. I have reviewed the existing issues

I tried updating my bundler version and removing Bundled with from my Gemlock file.

3:31:05 PM:   In Gemfile:
3:31:05 PM:     bundler (~> 2.1.4)

Hiya, sorry you are having trouble with your build.

This Support Guide contains a ton of useful debugging tips that can likely help you solve your problem :slight_smile:

We also recommend trying to search the forums with the build error you encountered - it’s likely your question was already asked by someone else!

If you are still having problems, please provide as much information as you can on what you have already tried, what your build settings are, your package.json, etc. Thanks!

I did try to search the forum for my answer see in the original request the closest issues I could find.

The issue seems to be that Netlify wants to use it’s own version of bundler instead of the one I specified.

Here is my Gemlock File

Hi, @tjperry07. I don’t have a way to downgrade the Bundler version used at this time.

Is it possible to change the bundler line in Gemlock to:

  bundler (>=  2.1.4)

I don’t know your codebase so I don’t know if that is a breaking change or not. If it isn’t a breaking change, it should resolve the issue.

​Please let us know if there are other questions or more we can do to assist.

Hi @tjperry07. There are a couple of things going on here. The first is that you are specifying bundler in your Gemfile, which is unusual. Bundler is meant to be installed globally, not as a gem within a project. Is your Jekyll project perhaps based on a clone or fork of a gem-based Jekyll theme that includes a .gemspec file with a line that looks like this?

spec.add_development_dependency "bundler", "~> 2.1.4"

And does your Gemfile refer to that .gemspec file with a line like this:

gemspec

If so, then you’ll need to remove that gemspec line from your Gemfile, and instead, add all the gems listed in the .gemspec file next to spec.add_runtime_dependency only, not the development dependencies.

Then, you’ll want to update your Gemfile to use the latest version of Bundler:

  1. Update bundler: gem update bundler. As of today, the latest version is 2.2.10
  2. Update the Gemfile: bundle update --bundler
    You should now see this at the very bottom of your Gemfile.lock:
BUNDLED WITH
   2.2.10

Now run bundle exec jekyll serve and make sure everything still works locally. If it does, commit the changes, then push to GitHub, and let’s see if that resolves the Netlify issue.

The other issue I was going to mention is that you are using a super old version of Ruby. I would recommend updating your .ruby-version file to say ruby-2.7.1, which is the latest version installed on Netlify, and will make the builds faster. For that to work locally, you’ll need a Ruby version manager that allows you to install multiple versions of Ruby. Presumably, you already have one if you’re using Ruby 2.4.3, but if not, I recommend chruby.

Here are some guides I’ve written that might help you learn more about Ruby, which is important if you’re working with Jekyll:

I’m also planning on writing a new guide about deploying Jekyll to Netlify to explain common issues I see people struggle with over and over, so that you can feel confident troubleshooting these types of issues in the future.

I have the same problem and no workaround found… very strange
