Answer 1

This is bundler complaining about missing blocks. I'd guess that your Gemfile is messed up. That is, you have there something like this

group :development

Whereas you are supposed to provide a block

group :development do
  gem 'pry'
  # other gems
end

Update:

You have several errors in your Gemfile

gem 'sqlite3',

This shouldn't have a comma

group =>assets do

This should be group :assets do

Answer 2

group =>assets do

you are missing a colon in gemfile. Should read:

group :assets do

Answer 3

This error will occur when working with blocks.

When you used the 'yield' statement inside the method and didn't pass block as parameter then it will raise the 'no block given (yield) (LocalJumpError)' error.

    def my_method
    yield
    end

puts my_method

In the above method call we are not passing parameter as a block so it will throw '(LocalJumpError) error'.

Here is the correct way to pass block as a parameter

def my_method
yield
end

puts my_method{puts 'something'}
