Could not find bundler (>=0)

I am getting error:

Could not find bundler (>= 0) amongst [aruba-0.4.5, bcat-0.6.1, builder-3.0.0, childprocess-0.2.0, cucumber-1.0.2, diff-lcs-1.1.2, ffi-1.0.9, gherkin-2.4.5, json-1.5.3, rack-1.3.2, rake-0.9.2, rdiscount-1.6.8, rspec-2.6.0, rspec-core-2.6.4, rspec-expectations-2.6.0, rspec-mocks-2.6.0, term-ansicolor-1.0.6] (Gem::LoadError)

I get the error in our app that uses appraisal and I'm getting the error in the appraisal cucumber features. for the appraisal app I run "bundle exec rake cucumber" and get the below failed scenarios with the error above. I am failing on step 'When I successfully run bundle exec rake appraisal:install --trace'

Failing Scenarios:
cucumber features/appraisals.feature:45 # Scenario: run a specific task with one appraisal
cucumber features/gemspec.feature:47 # Scenario: run a gem in the gemspec
cucumber features/gemspec.feature:60 # Scenario: run a gem in the gemspec via path

I vendor my gems to vendor/ruby and I'm the only one at work that does this. everyone else uses gemsets that I'm aware of and they can run the tests fine. I should also mention that I use rbenv and not rvm for my ruby version management although I don't see how that would be the problem.

I found that I can run the tests successfully if I just run Kernel.system(@command) and remove the wrapping with_clean_env block in Appraisal::Command#run I can get the tests to run successfully in our app, but does not seem to affect my ability to run the appraisal cucumber tests so even though I'm getting the same error the issues may not be related.

We don't vendor gems for libraries, which is where we use appraisal. We vendor gems for applications, and we don't use appraisal on applications since we can control exactly which version of every gem the application will deploy with.

Can you try not isolating the gems so we can isolate the problem?

[nhessler]

What you've said makes total sense and we use appraisal in that way as well. So, if you don't vendor gems for libraries how do you manage your gems for libraries when developing on them? Is there a better way to manage gems for libraries that won't polute the global gem space? again I would prefer to not use gemsets and really can't anyway since I'm using rbenv and not rvm.

[jferris]

We haven't worried about gemsets or polluting the global gem space since we started using bundler. Since bundler does such a good job of isolating dependencies, we don't have to worry about what extra libraries or versions are installed.

I'm getting this issue as well, when trying to convert my gem to use appraisal for tests. I'm not vendoring anything.

I've got my code committed on a side branch, so it should be easily reproducible:

https://github.com/zilkey/active_hash/tree/appraisal

The error I get is:

Please let me know if I can provide any other useful information.

Hi @flavorjones . We're unsure what's going on there. What if you add a dependency on Bundler to your active_hash gemspec? Odd, but it might work.

Thanks,

shrug, whatever it was that was wrong, appears to go away when I use bundler 1.1.rc. I'm good!
