Your bundle is updated! Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

C:\documents\projects\AJP\app>git st

Have run both bundle install and bundle update. Note also that Gemfile and Gemfile.lock files are in the committed files.

But then:

Any ideas please? Thanks.

Answer 1

One thing I noticed in the Heroku output is this: "Windows Gemfile.lock detected, ignoring it."

I read a Heroku Dev Center Article on Bundler that notes the following regarding: Gemfile.lock

If the platforms section of your Gemfile contains Windows entries, such as mswin or mingw, then the Gemfile.lock file will be ignored.

By chance does your Gemfile contain the aforementioned sections and, if so, what happens if you remove/comment out the platform sections (just to test)?
