Can't run bundle update on Windows

Question

Whenever I run bundle update or bundle install on Windows 8.1 I can\'t update/install gems from github. I can install other gems like uglifier, but it doesn\'t work for gith

Answer 1

Don't forget to select radio "Use git from Windows Command Prompt" while installing the Git. Thats the key! By default "Use git from Git Bash only" is set.

Answer 2

While on Windows, if you're still getting that error after installing git too, make sure to close the 'CMD' instance and open it again, the system paths vars have been set, but not instantiated in the active 'CMD' window.

Answer 3

For me it was also the path, with space and accent, I guess that was the accent the issue. installed the bundler 1.6-pre, uninstalled git, reinstalled it in C:\Git, changed the path of git in my IDE (RubyMine) and finally installed every gems using bundle install.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 4

Are you running a pre-release version of Bundler? This commit might be related to your problem; it looks like earlier versions of Bundler scan your %PATH% for "git", but not "git.exe".

The easiest solution would be to backport bundler to 1.3.5:

gem uninstall bundler
gem install bundler
