“Gem::InstallError: devise requires Ruby version >= 2.1.0.” when running Ruby 2.3.1

Question

In my continuous integration machine I'm running Ruby 2.3.1p112:

$ ruby --version
ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-darwin15]

but when I try to install gems I get an error that makes no sense:

$ bundle install --deployment
Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/
Fetching version metadata from https://rubygems.org/
Fetching dependency metadata from https://rubygems.org/
Rubygems 2.0.14.1 is not threadsafe, so your gems will be installed one at a time. Upgrade to Rubygems 2.1.0 or higher to enable parallel gem installation.
Using rake 10.5.0
Using i18n 0.7.0
Using json 1.8.3
...
Installing devise 4.0.1

Gem::InstallError: devise requires Ruby version >= 2.1.0.
An error occurred while installing devise (4.0.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install devise -v '4.0.1'` succeeds before bundling.

installing the gem globally works:

$ sudo gem install devise -v '4.0.1'
Successfully installed devise-4.0.1
Parsing documentation for devise-4.0.1
Done installing documentation for devise after 1 seconds
1 gem installed

but it makes no difference. The complaint about Rubygems is also odd, as I'm running 2.6.4:

$ update_rubygems
RubyGems 2.6.4 installed

Any ideas what might be going on?

I'm not using RVM nor any other Ruby/Gem manager.

Re-installing bundler by running:

sudo gem install bundler

fixed the issue.
