Seeing GemWrappers error when doing bundle install

Doing bundle install using rails 6.1.5.11 and ruby 2.7.6, I keeping seeing a GemWrappers error after installing each gem e.g.

    Fetching sprockets 4.0.3
    Installing sprockets 4.0.3
    GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: rake
    Fetching sprockets-rails 3.4.2
    Installing sprockets-rails 3.4.2
    GemWrappers: Can not wrap not executable file: rake

The bundle install works, but how do I eliminate this error/warning?

Solution

  • Gem gem-wrappers is not actively maintained it seems. Last update was in 2017. As per Rubygems it relies on rake < 11.

    https://rubygems.org/gems/gem-wrappers

    Although Rails 6.1.5.1 installs rake 13.0.6

    https://rubygems.org/gems/rails/versions/6.1.5.1

    so if you have gem-wrappers as a dependency, try removing it.

    If gem-wrappers is not in your Gemfile and you do not need it, try:

    gem uninstall gem-wrappers
