Ruby on Rails Gemfile error

Question

I'm new to web developing and doing a self study guide to learn (the odin project). I'm just now getting to the installation of all the different tools I'll need for programming but having an issue. When setting up ruby on rails for Heroku deployment I'm getting a syntax error. I'm following a guide, http://goo.gl/v2LcbU and when I try to do step 7.2 (bundle install --without production) I get a syntax error. I run ruby -c Gemfile and the error says Gemfile:37: syntax error, unexpected keyword_do, expecting $end .

I've tried a few things but I'm confused and not sure what it's trying to say is wrong with line 37. If you look at the guide I linked it had be replace some of the Gemfile and this is what my Gemfile looks like that is causing an error and not allowing me to bundle install --without production .

Gemfile http://i.imgur.com/IIjvhwM.png I'm linking an image of it because I'm not sure how to link the file correctly yet, sorry.

Answer 1

This is invalid:

group
:doc do
# bundle exec rake doc:rails generates the API under doc/api.
gem 'sdoc', require: false
end

group is a method being called, :doc is an argument and the do...end block is, well, a block. In Ruby, the first method argument needs to immediately follow the method name. Your group should look more like this:

group :doc do
  # bundle exec rake doc:rails generates the API under doc/api.
  gem 'sdoc', require: false
end

Answer 2

you can see other sample by running rails standard command, like this:

rails new apptest

it will automatically generate many files, include Gemfile, at bottom of that, you will see something like this:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'byebug'
  gem 'web-console', '~> 2.0'
  gem 'spring'
  gem 'rspec-rails'
  gem 'capybara'
end

study from this, add your own gem, enjoy rails:)
