System can't find rubygems after editing .bashrc file

[Jesse Waites]

Hi all,

I have gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. Yesterday, I decided to change my zsh prompt around so I started editing my ~/.zshrc and ~/..bashrc files. I was then unable to start my rails console  - I get the error "Could not find activerecord-3.2.17 in any of the sources". I get the same error when asking the system 'rails -v'

I used rbenv, and rbenv function do still work.

This StackOverflow question and answer leads me to believe that my system no longer knows the path to my rubygems: http://stackoverflow.com/a/2383685

Following that, the output for 'gem environment' is:

$ gem environment 

=>

RubyGems Environment:

  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 2.6.8

  - RUBY VERSION: 2.4.0 (2016-12-24 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-darwin16]

  - SHELL PATH:

     - /usr/bin

     - /bin

     - /sbin

I have edited my bash_profile, trying each of the paths in GEM PATHS with no success.

Example:

export PS1="\u@\h\w $ "

export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"

export GEM_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.4.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0:${GEM_PATH}

eval "$(rbenv init -)"

'bundle install' also blows up on me--- it tries but gets hung up on installing a specific gem which I suspect is an unrelated issue due to the bug reports / issues of that gem on github. This seems to be a path issue anyway, as things were working fine before I decided to be a hero and delete my bash profile.

I use rbenv if that is relevant.

Is there a way to either rebuild, revert, or fix this issue? I am running out of things to try here.

Just a shot in the dark, but are you running zsh as a login shell? Otherwise I think it won't pick up your config settings.

Looks like that was the issue. I ran 'exec bash' and it switched over and picked up my changes. Thank you, Peter!
