error calling bundle in test-first-teaching repo

[Sarah Allen]

I've been inactive in this group for a while, but I've been keeping an eye on the awesome work that Alex has been doing with testfirst.org and in refactoring the repo. I finally decided to dive in today and try out the new Rake tasks for building custom course. Sadly, I can't see to get out of the starting gate...

Having updated by clone of the repo, g...@github.com:ultrasaurus/test-first-teaching.git
When I try to do bundle, I got:
Could not find rspec-core-2.6.1 in any of the sources

I tried installing all of the dependent gems manually and still got an error running bundle, but the rake build task works now.

Hmm.

Sadly, bundler is not the panacea for gem issues we'd all hoped it was. You made the right call installing rspec manually. 

I'm getting that error too. I think what went wrong was that RSpec yanked a gem from rubygems.com, but it was still listed in Gemfile.lock. And unfortunately, Gemfile.lock is needed since the repo is a Heroku app, so we can't just gitignore it.

Solution: 

rm Gemfile.lock

bundle install

...but don't do that unless you get the error "Could not find rspec-core-2.6.1 in any of the sources". I just updated the repo Gemfile.lock so it shouldn't happen again (at least in that particular variant).
