Rails bundler doesn't install gems inside a group

Question

I have several gems including ruby-debug in a bundler group called :development. When I run the bundle command, these gems are ignored and it only installs the gems that are not in any group. How can I make sure bundler doesn't ignore the gems in the :development group?

Edit: This is what my Gemfile looks like.

source 'http://rubygems.org' gem 'rails', '3.0.1'  # Auth gems gem "devise", "1.1.3" gem "omniauth"  # Bundle Mongoid gems gem "mongoid", "2.0.0.beta.19" gem "bson_ext"  # Asset gems gem 'jquery-rails' gem "jammit"  # Controller gems gem 'inherited_resources', '1.1.2'  # View gems gem 'haml' gem 'formtastic', '~> 1.1.0'  # Nokogiri gem "mechanize" gem "json"   group :development do   gem "ruby-debug"   gem 'compass'   gem 'compass-colors'   gem 'pickler'   gem 'haml-rails'   gem 'rails3-generators'   gem "hpricot"   gem "ruby_parser"   gem 'fog' end 

Answer 1

Within a term session, it remembers the without option. If you first ran

bundle install --without development  

it remembers that you did this and will automatically repeat this for the next

bundle install #remembers and includes --without development 

running something else, like bundle install --without nothing should clear the cache. Am I right?

update 20150214: This is fixed in bundler 2.0, according to issue referenced in comment by @Stan Bondi (https://github.com/bundler/bundler/issues/2862). Thanks Stan.

If you are using rails, there will be a file config written into a hidden dir called .bundle in your rails root directory:

.bundle/config 

This file, in my case, held exactly the without settings.

So I just deleted the .bundle directory:

rm .bundle -r 

After that:

bundle install worked again as expected.

Using: bundler (1.5.2)
