I’m using the thumbs_up gem and on github there’s a master branch (0.4.6) and an engine branch (0.3.2). When I require the gem in my Gemfile with 

gem 'thumbs_up'

I see that version 0.4.6 was installed. I verify this is the right version running in my dev environment by doing bundle exec gem which thumbs_up and when I look at the VERSION file I see it’s 0.4.6.

So when I look at the code I’m expecting to find an unvote_for method but it doesn’t have one. Instead it has one called clear_votes. Now I’m confused because clear_votes is supposed to be in version 0.3.2 but as far as I can tell, I’m on version 0.4.6.

Any ideas what’s going on here?

    By default, the gem used is the latest available when running ‘bundle install’. You can specify a version (or version constraints) in the Gemfile. To update the version of the gem used, you have to run bundle update <gemname>, and it will do so according to your gemfile.

    About your problem : ensure that your server/console command is prefixed with bundle exec. You check also which versions of thumbs_up are installer on your system, and remove the version you don’t need anymore.
