lockfile_parser.r :48:in `parse_source': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Question

I've been messing around with both RubyOnRails3 and Git for the first time. Everything had been going along smoothly until all of a sudden any rails related command line argument stopped working. Unfortunately I have no idea what caused this or how to go about fixing it.

Here's the output from the command line

C:\railstest\railsproject>rails

I'm not exactly sure what other information to provide

Answer 1

It seems like there is some problem in the Gemfile.lock file. You can try deleting this file and run bundle install again to see if it can recreate it correctly.

Answer 2

Thanks for that solution, it was exactly the problem I had.

Note : that you might have to delete the gemfile.lock file for every branch in which the problem occurs

Least, I had to.
