RVM not recognizing .ruby-version

Question

My application has the following files:

.ruby-version

ruby-2.0.0-p247

.ruby-gemset

app1

When I switch into the application directory the application does not recognize the new version. It switches Ruby versions but the application does not see that until I run rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p247 manually. It works fine with .rvmrc but not .ruby-version. My RVM is version 1.25.15.

Edit

It's a Rails 4 app and it's using the bin directory for executables.

can you provide the contents of the three files you mention? — xlembouras, Jan 21 '14 at 20:36
The contents have been included. The `.rvmrc` file had `rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p247@app1`. — Artem Kalinchuk, Jan 21 '14 at 20:38
@ArtemKalinchuk what do you mean by " It switches Ruby versions but the application does not see that" ?? — bjhaid, Jan 21 '14 at 20:40
@bjhaid The ruby version switches (`ruby -v`) but running `bin/rails s`, for example, tells me I need to install missing gems until I switch to the correct Ruby version manually in the terminal. — Artem Kalinchuk, Jan 21 '14 at 20:43
@ArtemKalinchuk why you running `bin/rails s` and not `rails s`, try the later — bjhaid, Jan 21 '14 at 20:45
@ArtemKalinchuk check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15708916/use-rvmrc-or-ruby-version-file-to-set-a-project-gemset-with-rvm — xlembouras, Jan 21 '14 at 20:49
@bjhaid It's not an issue with running `bin/rails` over `rails`. When switching into the directory it should say `Using /Users/USER/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247 with gemset app1` but it does not tell me anything. — Artem Kalinchuk, Jan 21 '14 at 20:49
are you still using the `.rvmrc` in your project along the `.ruby-`s? — Малъ Скрылевъ, Jan 22 '14 at 07:28
try this: `cd your_app`, `ruby -v`, `bundle exec ruby -v`, `bundle exec rails s` or `bundle exec bin/your_bin` — Малъ Скрылевъ, Jan 23 '14 at 05:20

Check if you have a .rvmrc file in your project root folder.

You might need to update or remove it.

I had the same problem after a fresh install. The problem was , that the rvm source script was not running . It started to work after i run this:

source /home/myuser/.rvm/scripts/rvm

To solve this permanently. Open your terminal and run this:

echo "source /home/myuser/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc

I managed to fix the issue by reinstalling RVM and all the ruby gemsets. This does not answer the question as to why it was doing it but just in case someone is stuck with the same issue, here is one solution.

Uninstall RVM

rvm implode

Install RVM (after rebooting your PC to clean up the junk that was left behind)

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash

That works fine. The problem is with RVM not recognizing the `.ruby-version` file or not treating it correctly. – Artem Kalinchuk Jan 31 '14 at 22:38

I have the same problem. Try this command:

rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles

to reinstall rvm.
