I am deploying a rails app to production so gems go in shared/bundle. The mysql2 gem seems to have an issue in Ubuntu12.04 so I'd like to remove it and reinstall but how would I do this? I can't just call gem uninstall mysql2. I tried bundle exec gem uninstall mysql2 --path shared/bundle but got the error Could not locate Gemfile. How would I remove this? If you need any more info, lmk.
thx in advance
You have to be in the directory containing the Gemfile (such as your deployed project's current directory) in order for bundle exec to work. Try cd /path/to/your/project/current first, then bundle exec gem uninstall mysql2.
If that still does not work, you can always just remove the gem manually. Just go to your bundle directory and rm -rf all the files/subdirectories related to that gem.
