Here is my Ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux]
I am using RBenv, here is the results of command: rbenv version
1.9.3-p194 (set by /home/user/.rbenv/version)
here is the results of command: rbenv versions
1.9.2-p290
* 1.9.3-p194 (set by /home/user/.rbenv/version)
Here is factory_girl_rails in my gemfile
group :test do
gem 'factory_girl_rails', '~> 3.3.0'
end
Let me know if you need to see any more files i'll gladly post them. Anyone have any idea why I
The problem isn't that rbenv isn't working or is conflicting with anything, it's that you simply aren't actually set up to use it correctly.
The first thing I noticed is that your gem install location is in:
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
with gem executables in:
/usr/bin
This would appear to be a "system ruby" as provided by the Ubuntu 12.04 ruby package, installed when you do:
sudo apt-get install ruby
So, even though you've got rbenv installed, you're not actually using it and attempts to install gems are failing. Specifically, the ruby you're actually running is the Ubuntu system ruby version 1.8.7, as evidenced by this line:
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:388:in `ensure_required_ruby_version_met': factory_girl requires Ruby version >= 1.9.2. (Gem::InstallError)
In short, the error is telling you exactly what the problem is - factory_girl requires ruby 1.9.2 or above and you're not running a new enough version.
So, to fix the problem, you need to configure your "dot files" (~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, etc.) as per the rbenv install instructions so that when you type ruby or gem, or any of your rubygems executable commands, such as rake or bundle that you're actually running your rbenv managed ruby and not a default, system-provided ruby. This is ultimately accomplished by having your rbenv "shims" directory (~/.rbenv/shims) in your path before your usual $PATH directories (and by remembering to run rbenv rehash after you install new ruby version or new gems).
Then, once you've configured rbenv it correctly, you can take advantage of .rbenv-version files in directories as created with the rbenv local command.
