Heroku, bundler fails on missing dependencies

Question

I have had trouble recently trying to deploy my rails app on Heroku. In the past, I had deployed apps on Heroku with no problem, but Heroku does not support ruby 2.0.0 anymore. They suggest adding ruby "2.2.4" to the Gemfile , which is what I did. The beginning of my Gemfile is as follows:

source 'https://rubygems.org'
ruby "2.2.4"

# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '4.2.0'
# Use pg as the database for Active Record
gem 'pg'
# Use SCSS for stylesheets
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0'
# Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
# Use CoffeeScript for .coffee assets and views
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.1.0'
# See https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
# gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby
...

So, I have run bundle install with version 1.7.8 on my computer with no problem. I can even run my app in production mode. However, when I try to deploy the app on Heroku, I get this:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

我建议删除您的 Gemfile.lock，在本地再次运行bundle install ，将新的 Gemfile.lock 提交到您的 git 存储库，然后再次尝试您的git push heroku master 。

Answer 2

I had the same problem and what I did was I updated Ruby 2.2.4 in my system and restarted terminal, then followed these steps:

bundle install
bundle update 
git push heroku

( it's a good idea to update the gems with bundle update to make sure the versions match)

Answer 3

The problem is that you only changed the Ruby version number in the Gemfile , but did not recreate a valid Gemfile.lock . This leads to a Gemfile.lock that contains Gems in versions that are not compatible with Ruby 2.2.4.

If you change something in the Gemfile then you have to update or recreate the Gemfile.lock with the same Ruby version before pushing to Heroku.

I suggest to use a Ruby version manager (like rbenv or RVM ) to be able to run multiple versions of Ruby on your development machine. Then update the Ruby version in your application by changing the Ruby version in Gemfile (for Heroku) and .ruby-version (for your local environment). Both version must match.

Once that is done, run bundle install to update the Gemfile.lock or (when there were major updates or you just want to ensure that you use the latest versions) run bundle update to recreate the Gemfile.lock .
