Solution

This is because the user’s spec files was corrupted. All I had to do was to remove the .gem folder found in the home directory of the user and run the bundle install again.

Technology always fascinated me and continues to do so. I started my career back in 2004 as a Junior System Admin and worked in various capacities both in technical and managerial roles. I love to experiment and try out new OSS projects and in free time, go for cycling to the interiors of God's own country, Kerala!
