How to resolve error where gem from git repository “is not checked out. Please run `bundle install`”

Question

I have been tearing my hair out for a week trying to get a project to run locally.

bundle install works fine but when I run foreman start, I get this error:

git://github.com/{repo_path}.git (at master) is not checked out. Please run `bundle install`

I've trawled through Stackoverflow and still can't get this to work.

Any ideas?

web: bundle exec thin start
