Gemfile error when running app.groovy with Spring Boot CLI about gs-spring-boot

[dsmithco]

Don't need to uninstall anything...

cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -sf ../Cellar/springboot/*.RELEASE/bin/spring ./springboot

Then just call springboot init or whatever

[dsyer]

Find out where the CLI is installed and call it SPRING_HOME, then

$ export PATH=$SPRING_HOME/bin/:$PATH

You don't have to uninstall ruby to get rid of that gem though. Just "gem uninstall spring". Or switch to a clean ruby environment using rbenv (which I can see you are using).

spring is a gem used by Ruby on Rails framework as of version 4.1 (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/4_1_release_notes.html) and it just happens to also use an executable called 'spring'. It's pretty funny how the first commit to this spring gem is about 2 months after the first commit to spring-boot project

rails/spring@a035f47

Unfortunate coincidence? 🎱

As mentioned by @dsyer , here's steps to execute on your shell (on mac)

gem uninstall spring
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -sf ../Cellar/springboot/*.RELEASE/bin/spring . 

[dsyer]

I do t think that's the Spring Boot CLI. Looks like you have a "spring" executable from a ruby gem in your PATH.

Spring boot is Java and shell not Ruby.

[kentoj]

ok, thanks for the heads up dsyer. Do you know how I would access the spring CLI without uninstalling ruby?

[kentoj]

Thanks for the help @dsyer! Everything is working fine now.

[dsyer]

Coincidence indeed. I guess Rails users have to alias "spring" to "springboot" or something.

Thanks @dsmithco !
