It says 'remote: ! You must use Bundler 2 or greater with this lockfile.'
But my Bundler version is 2.0.0.pre.1
Don't know what to do, I tried uninstalling bundle and installing it again, I errased the Gemfile.lock and typing bundle again

Answer 1

I had a similar experience.
Here's how I solved it
Display a list of all your local gems for the bundler gem
gem list bundler
N/B: The command above is for rbenv version manager, the one for rvm might be different
This will display the versions of the bundler gem installed locally
bundler (2.1.4, default: 1.17.2)
Note: Your versions might differ from the one here
if you don't have bundler version 2 installed locally, then run
gem install bundler
OR
gem install bundler -v 2.1.4
Note: Replace 2.1.4 with the version you want to install
if you have bundler version 2 already installed locally or just installed it, then you need to simply install an update for RubyGems Package Manager locally. To do this, run
gem update --system
And then finally run
bundle update --bundler
For Docker projects in Ruby on Rails
If you're experiencing this issue when trying to build your application using Docker, simply do this:
Delete the Gemfile.lock file
Please don't create it again by running bundle install.
Run your docker build or docker-compose build command as appropriate to build your project.
This will re-create the Gemfile.lock file and setup the appropriate version of bundler necessary for your project in the Gemfile.lock file.
N/B: As a side note, you can also add this environment variable to your Dockerfile with the Bundler version defined.
ENV BUNDLER_VERSION=2.1.4

Answer 2

A bit late to the party but I just ran into this today as well, and this solution avoids having to uninstall Bundler: just run
heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/bundler/heroku-buildpack-bundler2
as per discussion on the Bundler issue here.

Answer 3

I had same issue on Local Machine(Development) as-
You must use Bundler 2 or greater with this lockfile.
The issue was with gemfile.lock because my local bundle version and project bundle version was not matching!
Here is solution-
I deleted gemfile.lock
Run the command - bundle install
That solved my problem, it is smooth!
Hope will work for others!

Answer 4

simple gem update bundler did it for me.

Answer 5

I resolved this issue by running gem uninstall bundler to remove 2.0.0.pre.1, renamed the Gemfile.lock file (to remove it from use) and then ran bundle install to reinstall the gemfiles. In my case, I already had access to the earlier bundler version installed by heroku (so when I ran gem uninstall, I was shown all versions available and chose to remove 2.0.0.pre.1).

Answer 6

Even with bundler 2 on the system this error still happens when deploying an app with Ruby 2.6 since Ruby 2.6 ships with a default version of bundler.
If you are using Ruby 2.6 then upgrade to Ruby 2.6.1 to avoid this issue.

Answer 7

The Ruby 2.6.0 is not the case of this problem.
The default version of Bundler incorrectly invoked when using bin stubs.
For more details please refer the following link
Solution:
Bundler 2 is available on the system and is the latest version, So it should be invoked instead of the default bundler version.
Update Rubygems
gem update --system
Update bundler
gem install bundler
Update Gemfile.lock in your project
bundler update --bundler

Answer 8

Yup, so generally uninstalling your version of bundler, removing the gemfile.lock, and finally running gem install bundler -v 1.15.2(which is the version heroku is using) worked.
After that running git push heroku master worked!

Answer 9

For local system
gem install bundler:2.0.0.pre.1
bundle _2.0.0.pre.1_ install
Where "2.0.0.pre.1" is whatever version you need to bundle with.
Don't delete your Gemfile.lock for this, it's there for a reason.

Answer 10

If you're using a docker image like FROM:ruby:2.X.X then you can do the following:
FROM ruby:2.6.2
... # omitted
COPY Gemfile /myapp/Gemfile
COPY Gemfile.lock /myapp/Gemfile.lock
RUN gem uninstall bundler
RUN gem install bundler -v 2.1.4
RUN bundle update --bundler
RUN bundle install
... # omitted

Answer 11

Heroku does not use Bundler 2.0, but 1.15.2, as the tracelog hints.
As far as I am aware, the "workaround" is to create your own buildpack, or simple fork their own:
Open lib/language_pack/ruby.rb in your editor, and change the following line:
BUNDLER_VERSION = "1.11.2"
(README.md at https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby)
Update: As of Ruby 2.6.1 and Bundler 2.0.1, Heroku now does support Bundler 2.0.1. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/bundler-version#known-upgrade-issues
This is not the case for Ruby 2.6.0, as this is incorrectly invoked from binstubs, as #Schneems has mentioned in the comment. He has kindly reported this as a Ruby Bug #15622

Answer 12

For people who are not using Heroku:
I Tried everything and I was still receiving this error. even this link didn't help me: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/7463
So this was my solution:
Push your code on GitHub.
delete project folder
create a new folder and pull your code
bundle install
That's it. bundler update --bundler was not helping me at the end and I didn't use it.
One more important thing:
I updated my ruby version but I was getting this error because my RVM default version was an old version.
even when you use rvm use VERSION_NUMBER -- default will not help because as soon as you log out from terminal the default version will change to the old one and you will have the same issue.
For this you can use this answer:
How to set default Ruby version with RVM?
or just uninstall old ruby version with rvm uninstall X.X.X and install the new one with rvm install X.X.X and make it default by rvm use --default X.X.X.
cheers.

Answer 13

I got the same problem for Ruby 2.6.3, nothing listed in answers could help.
The only the following solution worked for me:
bundle update rails
Remove Gemfile.lock
bundle

Answer 14

I had the same issue. In my Gemfile.lock i saw at the end "bundled with bundler 2.0.2", but running bundle --version gave me version 1.17... For me it solved just updateing my bundler with the following command: bundle update --bundler see bundler documentation

Answer 15

I deleted the project and made a git clone from the Heroku app, don´t know if it is a good solution, but it worked for me.

Answer 16

I got the same issue in my local system, my ruby version was low due to which the error was occurring. Fixed it by switching it to updated versions of ruby.

Answer 17

Using bundler 2.0.1 allows for automatic version switching as required by the lock file. In this regard, installing bundler 2.0.1 worked for me.
Installing bundler 2.0.1
gem install bundler -v 2.0.1
Update bundler
bundle update -bundler

Answer 18

I had the same problem today.
In my case the problem was caused by using rvm gemset other than latest I have with ruby 2.7.1 and bundler 2.1.4 (same bundle Gemfile was locked with).
So just take a look at your rvm environment before doing any other solution listed here. Specially if you're running your project on production.
Happy hacks !

Answer 19

Delete gem history and modules installed in rails application.
$ rm -rf vendor/bundle
$ rm Gemfile.lock
and, bundle
$ bundle install --path=vendor/bundle
and, start Rails Server
$ bundle exec rails s
and, connect to browser.

Answer 20

Same error, but locally.
I finally figured out I was using wrong version of ruby on my command line (I'm using uru to manage ruby versions.)
After all, how could the gemfile use and produce a lock file with version 2.1.4, yet my search didn't find that version!
>gem list bundler
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
bundler (default: 1.16.2, 1.13.1)
capistrano-bundler (1.6.0, 1.1.4)
So I changed to the correct version of ruby and all was good.
Remember, gems are stored with your Ruby version!
