Why does my iOS project Gemfile bundle update unconsistently?

I have a simple Gemfile for an iOS project using cocoapods:

# frozen_string_literal: true
source "https://rubygems.org"

gem 'cocoapods'
gem 'fastlane'
gem 'jazzy'

I've tried to update my bundle by a bundle update and jazzy went from version 0.8.2 to 0.0.14 so I rolled back my Gemfile.lock and did 3 invidual updates of my 3 gems and everything went fine, ie jazzy was still in version 0.8.2.

I redid a bundle update and, again, jazzy went from version 0.8.2 to 0.0.14.

What am I missing here? Why do I get a different set of versions with the same constraints?

Solution

  • The issue is dependency hell.

    Fastlane depends on xcpretty, which depends on rouge of major version 2 (~>2.0.7) and jazzy itself depends on different versions of rouge, major version 1 (~> 1.5) so, bundler tries to resolve highest version of jazzy to reuse existing rouge dependency (which is 0.0.14).

    However, you can force bundler to use version 0.8.2 an more of jazzy, add to your Gemfile:

    gem 'jazzy', '>=0.8.2'

    instead of 

    gem 'jazzy'

    And perform bundle update again.
