Bundler cannot find rake but it seems installed

Question

I am having some struggles with bundler and rake. According to the error message, bundler can't find rake-10.3.1. Here's the thing, everything I've done seems to indicate that rake-10.3.1 is installed. I've been floating in the google-sphere for days without finding a solution that resolves this issue for me.

I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.5. Ruby version is 1.9.3-p392.

Error:

bundle exec rspec spec/bdr_pre_dev_spec.rb

/Users/dru.solis/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392@global/gems/bundler-1.6.2/lib/bundler/spec_set.rb:92:in `materialize': Could not find rake-10.3.1 in any of the sources (Bundler::GemNotFound)

Here are things I've done:

• Blasted away the Gemfile.lock and tried a bundle install. This reinstalls gems and clearly shows rake-10.3.1 being installed but when I run rspec it still says it can't find rake.
• Manually try to install gem with gem install rake -v 10.3.1 which also indicates that rake-10.3.1 is installed but rspec command still throws the same error.
• Explicitly specified rake 10.3.1 in the Gemfile, blasted away Gemfile.lock and bundle install
• Uninstall rake (all versions found) gem uninstall rake and reinstall rake using gem install rake -v 10.3.1
• Uninstalled the version of ruby I was using and reinstalled it with rvm uninstall ruby-1.9.3-p392 and then rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p392.
• Downgrade bundler to 1.6.1
• Uninstall and reinstall bundler
• rvm implode and reinstall rvm

None of these fixed the issue.

bundle show says that rake-10.3.1 is installed.

Answer 1

So, I finally managed to get this error to go away. I started thinking it was some weird permission issue.

To solve this problem, I did the following:

• Open the Disk Utility, Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
• Repair Permissions
• Remove the .bundle directory in my project
• Remove the vendor directory in my project
• Remove the Gemfile.lock
• bundle install

After that it started working without complaining about not finding rake. Crazy, man. Ugh. Hopefully this helps other folks if they run into the same issue.
