in <class:Numeric>': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)

Question

I am trying the rails tutorial, but the rails server is not working http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html

$ rvm install ruby-2.4.1
$ rvm use 2.4.1 --default
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
Using rake 12.0.0
Using i18n 0.8.1
$ rm -rf vendor/
$ bundle install
$ ./bin/rails server
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.6 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

    from ./bin/rails:4:in `<main>'

On the bundle install, nothing was installed, it seemed to instantly print out the list of things installed. My ruby seems correct:

$ which ruby
/Users/cchilders/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.4.1/bin/ruby

I deleted vendor packages because the last error complained about using sqlite3 with ruby 2.4.0 when my default ruby is 2.4.1 now.

How can I fix this and start rails?

Answer 1

Install Rails 4.2.8, it's compatible with Ruby v 2.4.*

$ gem install rails -v '4.2.8'
