Your Ruby version is 2.5.1, but your Gemfile specified 2.6.3

Question

I'm trying to run command " rake db:test:prepare" in 6.2 of Rails Tutorial book. And then I had this problem

I have already run " gem install bundler". But it wasn't work. After I check version in path /home/myname/.rvm/gems. T got version of Ruby is 2.6.3

source 'https://rubygems.org'
git_source(:github) { |repo| "https://github.com/#{repo}.git" }

ruby '2.6.3'

This usually comes up when the specified ruby version is not installed. To install using rvm run:

rvm install ruby-2.6.3

If you suspect it's already installed, then you may need to tell rvm to use the specific version, as it might default to another version (in this case 2.5.1). To do that run:

rvm --default use ruby-2.6.3

If it's not installed, the above command will throw a relevant error.
