Question

I’m following this Rails tutorial section and this RVM doc page . My installation is all brand new (RVM 1.17.3), so, if I understand the tutorial and the RVM docs correctly:

• RVM and Bundler should be integrated by default and I don’t have to configure anything. (No need to run bundle --bunstubs?)

• I don’t need to type “bundle exec”

Did I read that right?

I don’t see a bundler_stubs/ or bin/ directory in my application.

Is there a way for me to check that it’s set up properly so I can be sure that bundle exec is not necessary?

edit:

Running which yields the following:

$ bundle show rspec    
$ /home/{username}/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327@tutorial/gems/rspec-2.11.0
$ which rspec
$ /home/{username}/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327@tutorial/bin/rspec

Which seems to imply that I should keep using bundle exec because they are not the same?

Answer 1

RVM by default installs gem https://github.com/mpapis/rubygems-bundler which detects if you are in context of Gemfile and automatically loads bundler if required, it is equivalent to manually typing bundle exec.
