Using $ sudo bundle exec ... raises 'bundle: command not found' error

Question

I have installed rbenv on an Ubuntu sever. I can cd into my application directory and run $ bundle without issue, however I need to run $ sudo bundle exec ... and this gets me an error:

bundle: command not found

Why is this and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

Not entirely sure, but maybe this would work for you:

sudo -i -u $USER bundle exec... 

or

sudo -i -u username_with_correct_env bundle exec... 

Answer 2

Dan Carley's rbenv-sudo looks like it will do what you want:

rbenv-sudo is a plugin for rbenv that allows you to run rbenv-provided Rubies and Gems from within a sudo session.
