cannot load railtie after upgrade to rails 4 per ruby.railstutorial.org
ActiveResource was an API added in Rails 2.x to support an XML (and later JSON) API so that Rails sites could “talk” to one another. It was a very hot topic when the idea of RESTful APIs made its way into the framework. Over time it became more of a novelty and infrequently maintained so … Read more
Fresh Installs of RVM and Ruby 2.1.1 – dyld library/pathing error
It looks it’s a temporary bug: https://twitter.com/mpapis/status/447926386314186752.

How to find the path a Ruby Gem is installed at (i.e. Gem.lib_path c.f. Gem.bin_path)

This is a universal solution for executables and libs: spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_name(“cucumber”) gem_root … Read more

Installing Ruby gems not working with Home Brew
Homebrew is nice. However unlike brew and npm, gem does not make aliases in /usr/local/bin automatically. Solution I went for a very simple approach (as of March 2020): # Based on “`brew –prefix ruby`/bin” export PATH=/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH # Based on “`gem environment gemdir`/bin” export PATH=/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/bin:$PATH Add this to your .bashrc (or .bash_profile, .zshrc, etc.). That’s it! … Read more
rbenv: Surviving without gemsets
Most people solve this by installing the rails gem first via gem install rails. If you refuse to do that for some reason, you can opt out of the automatic bundling that Rails attempts to do for you.
