Rails 4.0.2 spree_i18n error when bundle install

Question

Yesterday I had an unexpected outage when i was trying to bundle install the spree_i18n (2-1-stable). Now I´m trying again and I´m getting this error:

I tried removing the directory specified on the error, but same result.

My Gemfile looks like this:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

Any idea how to solve this?

Answer 1

Ok I solved the issue. I write the workaround just for information if someone gets into the same problem.

I went to my directory gems under bundler on my ruby version and found out that 4 different directories were created for spree_i18n. I just changed the name of all of them and try again the bundle install from my app directory. Now everything worked properly and the module is added to the bundle.

Answer 2

This is a git error I've also got in the past and I've solved it by removing the .git/index and then reset to HEAD.
