EOFError when calling Geocoder method in Rails 4

So I tried to submit a location-based search by providing a city to my Geocoder method Geocoder.coordinates("Miami"), but my Rails app threw this exception:

EOFError in ListingsController#search

end of file reached

My development log doesn't really explain what's going on:

enter image description here

And my code cuts off and throws the exception at the Geocoder call in my controller:

def search
  @favorited_listing = FavoritedListing.new
  @listings = Listing.search(params[:search].downcase)
  @results = Array.new
  @cityCoordinates = Geocoder.coordinates(params[:city])  # <= This is where the exception gets thrown



  if !params[:city].nil? && params[:city] != ""
    @results = @listings.select { |listing| listing.location.distance_from(@cityCoordinates) < 50 }
  else
    @results = @listings
  end

  @listings_json = []

  @coordinates = @results.map do |listing|
    @listings_json << listing.as_json(:include => [:location, :pictures])
  end

  respond_with(@results)
end

Things I've tried from other posts about this issue:

Neither of these have worked. Does anyone know what is happening or can point me in the right direction?

I have found out that Geocoder, geokit and geokit-rails all needed updating and that has fixed the problem of EoF exceptions.

I just ran bundle update and it fixed the issue. I believe the problem was my net-ssh gem or faraday gem (most likely faraday in my opinion) causing a problem with trying to make http requests. I am going to look into it more and update this response when I learn some more about it.
