Can't run rails server after accidentally running $ gem update --system

Question

I ran gem update --system thinking it would solve a problem I was having, and now I can't run rails server. It won't load and instead, I keep getting the following. Can someone tell me how to undo this and revert back to before I ran the update?

I've already ran git checkout, but the problem persists...

Answer 1

I had the same issue today. Updating bundler to the latest version fixed the problem:

gem update bundler

And if you are running rbenv

rbenv rehash

Answer 2

Seems like the latest version of Rubygems is buggy.

You just have to revert back to an older version with the following command and everything should work fine :

gem update --system 1.8.24
