Restoring Rails 3's Bundle Install Path... It's now install in my root

Question

I did something while trying to install the vestal_versions plug-in that ended up creating a vestal_versions directory in my app's root with the following:

 - Application   - APP   - DB    - vestal_versions     - ruby      - 1.8       - bin       - cache       - doc       - gems       - specifications 

Which if deleted prevents the app from working... How do I update bundle to install all this stuff in the right place, which I believe is outside of the app?

Answer 1

bundle install <directory name> makes the bundler install the gems in the respective directory. Running bundle install --system will set the install directory back to the system directory rather than the custom one you provided.

Answer 2

I had the same problem and found that I had a .bundler directory in my application's root folder that was causing this. After I removed the directory, the bundle install installed everything to the correct ruby directory again. Thanks to this post by Caleb.
