Bundle Update stuck at "Fetching source index for http://rubygems.org/"

Question

As of yesterday, I'm unable to update my bundle. It gets stuck at "Fetching source index for http://rubygems.org/". I know this usually takes a while, but I've waited for hours and tried several times over the last day. I have a 20 Mbit internet connection.

I'm using gem 1.8.5, Bundler version 1.0.15, rvm 0.1.46, ruby-1.9.2-p0 [ x86_64 ] and Rails 3.0.8 on a Macbook. Gemfile: https://gist.github.com/1028832

The reason I'm trying to run Bundle Update is because the bundle was set to rake 0.8.7 until recently (not sure why), but rake started demanding that I move up to 0.9.2. So I changed the Gemfile. Bundle Install tells me to:

  bundle install
  Fetching source index for http://rubygems.org/
  You have requested:
  rake >= 0.9.2

  The bundle currently has rake locked at 0.8.7.
  Try running `bundle update rake`

My .bundle/config contains:

---
BUNDLE_DISABLE_SHARED_GEMS: "1"
BUNDLE_WITHOUT: production

I'm not behind a proxy.

I even tried deleting Gemfile.lock, reinstalling the ruby version in rvm and deleting all gems:

rm Gemfile.lock
rvm uninstall 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2
for x in `gem list --no-versions`;do gem uninstall $x -aIx;done
gem install bundle
bundle install

Answer 1

Comment out all gems and set explicit versions for rails (e.g. 3.0.8) and rake (e.g. 0.9.2). Then just run rake, cucumber and the server to see which gems you really need and add them back one by one manually.

I had the same problem with jam at “Fetching source index for http://rubygems.org/”

In my case it was solved by using the rubygems modern index instead of the API endpoint:

bundle install --full-index
