Bundler groups in my Gemfile not being honered - ruby-on-rails-3

I have
group :production, :staging do
gem "therubyracer"
end
in my Gemfile. If I run:
bundle install --without production staging test
therubyracer is added to my Gemfile.lock. Why is this happening please? I would expect it to be ignored?
For completeness, if I remove the line:
gem "therubyracer"
and run the above bundle command, then the therubyracer gem is removed from my Gemfile.lock

I think that it's supposed to be in Gemfile.lock, because bundle still needs to calculate and record all of the dependencies and such. However, running bundle install --without <group> won't actually install the gem - you can check with gem list -i therubyracer (although it may have been installed already if you ran bundle install without --without ...).

RVM doesn't recognize installed gem, so bundle install fails

Bundle install command fails because gem install pg fails:
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.17.1'` succeeds
I can though, install pg with certain options:
gem install pg -- --with-pg-include=/usr/pgsql-9.3/include --with-pg-dir=/usr/pgsql-9.3
Still.. running bundle install fails, saying:
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.17.1'` succeeds
Well ye I know it fails, that why I installed it before, with options given,
How do I make the bundle see it the gem is already installed.? (or maybe make the bundle command to run gem install pg -- --with-pg-include instead of gem install pg -v '0.17.1' so it will succeed)
I also use rvm, and i'm rather clueless about it, so maybe even though I the pg gem is installed:
gem list pg
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
pg (0.17.1)
The application doesn't recognized the installed pg gem? if so How do I make the application's rvm see that the required gem is already installed?
Thank you
Finally found answer: How can I pass a parameter for gem installation when I run bundle install?
So in my case:
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-include=/usr/pgsql-9.3/include --with-pg-dir=/usr/pgsql-9.3
bundle install
And that took a day, well could have been worse
So you know in the future, this wasn't an RVM issue. This was a bundler and gem command parameter passing issue. RVM wasn't involved at that stage.

Issue when pushing to Heroku. Run `bundle install` elsewhere and add the updated Gemfile.lock to version control

I've been trying to trouble shoot this error now for a couple hours without making any progress. I've tried running bundle install in different environments with no luck. I'm not sure what is happening and I feel as if the error is no longer providing relevant feedback. However, I am using Ruby 1.9.3 and when I push it states that Heroku is using ruby 2.0.0. Could this have something to do with it?

gem 'debugger' originally was placed outside of the environment group. I moved it to the development group and reran bundle.

end

I got similar error. I tried delete Gemfile.lock file manually, rebundle, push it to git and still no luck.
But finally I make it work by change my rvm version to ruby 2.0.0, precomplie the asset with this command
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
and delete the Gemfile.lock, rebundle, and push it to github. Last part when you push in to heroku use your branch instead your master, this happen because you not deploying the master branch to heroku master branch with this command:
git push heroku your-branch:master
I had a similar situation. Heroku does not support every ruby version. You may be using an unsupported version.
Check for Heroku Ruby supported versions
Change your local ruby version. For example, if you are using rbenv
rbenv local 2.1.6
bundle install
Push the changes to herokugit push heroku master
You can't expect Heroku to know what version of Ruby you're running locally :-) If you want Heroku to use a particular version, tell it. Add ruby '1.9.3' to your Gemfile for example.
It also looks like you didn't rerun bundle install after putting the gem in development group? Try that.
Then add all the changes to git, commit, and push.
This problem is bacause you commit bad (old) Gemfile.lock to heroku server.
You need to update Gemfile.lock on heroku after adding/removing gems.
Do following steps:
save HEROKU_APP_NAME of existing heroku app ( HEROKU_APP_NAME.herokuapp.com )
remove heroku application from https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps and create new one
rename new heroku app to old HEROKU_APP_NAME
remove Gemfile.lock from your git repo
remove Gemfile.lock form your local project and form .gitignore (if it exist there)
run bundle install
commit changes to git repo ( new created Gemfile.lock )
run git push heroku master

An error occurred while installing pg (0.12.2), and Bundler cannot continue

I'm following the Michael Hartl Ruby on Rails Tutorial & there is a part where he is he he instructs you to update your Gemfile to include:
group :production do
gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
end
And then enter the below commands in your terminal:
bundle update
bundle install --without production
When you run the bundle update command it throws back the below errors.

sample_app:$
I was able to overcome this error easily be removing the 'pg', '0.12.2' gem from the Gemfile & replacing it after running the bundle update command. This seems to work fine as the 'pg', '0.12.2' gem is aslo omitted in the without production flag in the latter bundle install --without production.
The 'pg', '0.12.2' gem is only needed for deploying to heroku with the correct database & everything works fine even when I deployed it to heroku but I'm just wondering if this is an error in the Tutorial or am I missing something bigger here?
It's also annoying to have to remove this Gem everytime I run bundle update, is bundle update really that necessary?
Thanks in Advance
I'm following the same tutorial and I think it's redundant to run update without modifying existing dependency, but in this case it's even causing problems because update command has not --without argument.
I stumbled upon Rails 3 cheatsheet which mentions bundler workflow this way:
After adding or removing dependencies from Gemfile
$ bundle
Commit Gemfile and Gemfile.lock
After modifying existing dependency versions
$ bundle update
Commit Gemfile and Gemfile.lock
I read man pages for bundle update and tried RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW which consists of running bundle update after bundle install.
In my case (some output omitted):
$ bundle install --without production
Resolving dependencies...
Using rake (10.0.3)
...
Installing rspec-core (2.11.1)
Your bundle is complete!
Gems in the group production were not installed. <-- check
$ bundle update
Resolving dependencies...
Using rake (10.0.3)
...
Using uglifier (1.2.3)
Your bundle is updated!
Gems in the group production were not installed. <-- check
I tried it with new RVM gem set and everything was installed correctly.
After that Gemfile.lock contains pg (0.12.2) and deploying to Heroku works.
RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW
In general, when working with an application managed with bundler, you
should use the following workflow:
After you create your Gemfile for the first time, run
$ bundle install
Check the resulting Gemfile.lock into version control
$ git add Gemfile.lock
When checking out this repository on another development machine, run
$ bundle install
When checking out this repository on a deployment machine, run
$ bundle install --deployment
After changing the Gemfile to reflect a new or update dependency,
run
$ bundle install
Make sure to check the updated Gemfile.lock into version control
$ git add Gemfile.lock
If bundle install reports a conflict, manually update the specific
gems that you changed in the Gemfile
$ bundle update rails thin
If you want to update all the gems to the latest possible versions
that still match the gems listed in the Gemfile, run
$ bundle update
Installation of postgres fails with this error : "Can't find the 'libpq-fe.h header"
Looks like a lot of people faced this problem, good news is : stackoverflow has the answer ;)
Can't find the 'libpq-fe.h header when trying to install pg gem
(or at least it should help you to look in the right direction)

Can RVM hide a gem from the global gemset?

The project I'm about to work on asks for version 1.0.10 of bundler and version 0.8.7 of rake. My global gemset has slightly newer versions of these gems. I.e., the install instructions for the new project look like this:
rvm gemset use rails3
gem uninstall -x bundler
gem install bundler -v 1.0.10
gem uninstall -x rake
gem install rake -v 0.8.7 # Rake needs to be at 0.8.7
What happens is that when I'm in this new rails3 gemset I can't uninstall the existing gems (and personally I don't want to) because they exist in the global gemset.
So, question: can I somehow hide those two gems that exist in the global gemset?
I can list the gems:
$ gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
addressable (2.2.6)
archive-tar-minitar (0.5.2)
awesome_print (1.0.1)
bundler (1.0.21, 1.0.10)
...
rake (0.9.2.2, 0.8.7)
...
Maybe an ancillary question would be: since I have installed the older versions into the the rails3 gemset, will rvm prefer those because the fact they were specifically installed somehow overrides the version in global, or will rvm take the gems with the highest version number?
any command except bundle should be prefixed with bundle exec and this will assure proper version of gem is used (using Gemfile)
you can avoid writing always bundle exec by using my gem rubygems-bundler
for running bundle command - rubygems will select latest available version if you do not specify one ex. bundle _1.0.10_ exec rake db:create

Heroku error when launch rails3.1 app missing postgres gem

I am trying to deploy to heroku.
Rails 3.1.0.rc4,
I get the following error from Heroku logs:
Starting process with command: `thin -p 48902 -e production -R /home/heroku_rack/heroku.ru start`
2011-06-20T11:25:44+00:00 app[web.1]: /app/.bundle/gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-3.1.0.rc4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:71:in `rescue in establish_connection': Please install the postgresql adapter: `gem install activerecord-postgresql-adapter` (pg is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile.) (RuntimeError)
I tried to install the activerecord-postgresql-adapter but then I get this error:
Could not find gem 'activerecord-postgresql-adapter (>= 0)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.
So I tried to add this to my gem file
gem 'pg'
which produced this error:
Installing pg (0.11.0) with native extensions /Users/imac/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:533:in `rescue in block in build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
any ideas?
You don't have to install Postgres locally. In your Gemfile, put 'pg' in group :production, as johnny-grass suggests, and then when you run bundle, just specify --without production, like this:
bundle --without production
Unfortunately, you have to remember this argument when you run bundler, but at least you don't have to install and maintain postgres locally.
Please note that Heroku "strongly recommends against" using sqlite, saying that "Your production and development environment should be as close to identical as possible" http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3
Do you have PostgreSQL installed on your computer? If you don't then install it first, then install the pg gem.
# gemfile
group :production do
gem 'therubyracer-heroku', '0.8.1.pre3' # you will need this too
gem 'pg'
end
I found a solution in this Heroku article.
As Jared said, they suggest to create a different group for postgresql.
