I’m trying to set up a development environment for a legacy Rails 2.3.8 project.

I’m trying to set up a development environment for a legacy Rails 2.3.8 project. I have rails successfully installed, have cloned the git repository, and now am trying to run bundle.

Could not find RubyGem bundler (>= 0) (Gem::LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:214:in activate'
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:1082:ingem’
from /home/[clientsite]/ruby/gems/bin/bundle:18

(where [clientsite] is not the actual directory name.)

Also:
which ruby:
/usr/bin/ruby
which rails:
/usr/bin/rails
which bundle:
/home/ankasa/ruby/gems/bin/bundle

When I try to run rake, I get this:
rake aborted!
no such file to load — rdoc/task

I assume this is because I can’t run bundle.

Thanks.

    A Rails 2.3.8 project does not use bundle to manage its dependencies. There’s no Gemfile. The required gems are listed in config/environment.rb.

    To fix the problem with rake, you need to install rdoc gem, and edit Rakefile file:

    #require 'rake/rdoctask'
require 'rdoc/task'
