I am newbie to Rails development and working with Spree Commerce bitnami Stack VM instance. I am trying to install spree extension and the instructions says to make configuration changes to application Gem file which I cannot find in the webserver directory
Running Rails 2.3.5
Spree 0.9.4 version
The reason why you can’t find it because Gemfile is a standard from Rails 3+ and you’re using a Rails2 app. Rails3 uses Bundler which takes cares about all Gems for your app.
In Rails 2 gem dependency definition is different. It doesn’t have Bundler so “bundle install” also won’t work in your case.
Instead you need to add Gem dependency to config/environment.rb like this:
config.gem 'your_gem_name_here'also you need to install the Gem manually, so not like in Rails3 where Bundler installs it. Use this in shell:
In general it’s a good idea to update the app to Rails3, I’d recommend it because as I saw this Gem you wanna use doesn’t have earlier release.
