Question

I want to use both the twitter gem and the pingdom-client gem in a small api health/status site I need to build.

When I try to bundle install the pingdom-client gem, I get the following error.

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "faraday":
  In Gemfile:
    pingdom-client (>= 0) ruby depends on
      faraday (~> 0.5.6) ruby

    twitter (>= 0) ruby depends on
      faraday (0.8.4)

What are my options for resolving this issue? Or do I need to abandon the use of one of these gems?

Answer 1

There isn’t a newer version of pingdom-client available with a better dependency, so you can try creating one on your own.

1. Uninstall all versions of faraday with gem uninstall faraday
2. Fork pingdom-client.
3. Change it’s dependency on faraday to (~> 0.8.4) it it’s pingdom-client.gemspec

4. Change your Gemfile line to

    gem 'pingdom-client', git: 'url/to/your/git/fork.git'
   

5. Run bundle

Check your application to see if all is well with pingdom-client running the newer version of faraday
