How don't create gem executables when using bundle in a rails project?

Question

I ran this command in my rails project:

bundle --binstubs

This created a bin/ directory and generated all of the executables for the gems in my Gemfile. But I don't need them. Every time I run bundle install, it will generate all of that executables.

How can ignore them when I run bundle install?

Answer 1

--binstubs is one of Bundler's "remembered options", which means as soon as you use it once, it saves that value to a local config file (.bundle/config, relative to your Gemfile's location). You can always open up that file and edit it yourself, or you can run:

bundle install --no-binstubs

And bundler should remember instead to not install binstubs in the future. Now, if the above doesn't work on your version of bundler, you may need to run:

bundle config --delete bin
