GitHub Import: Could not locate Gemfile

Question

I have imported a Rails Application from "GitHub", https://github.com/farra/goo.git

While trying to do bundle install in that it shows "Could not locate Gemfile".

That repository actually don't have the below listed files with it.

Gemfile, Gemfile.lock & config.ru

I would like some assistance to proceed with that application.

Is there any way to create a Gemfile for that application with its necessary Gems?

Thank You In Advance...

Answer 1

This is a very legacy codebase and bundler is not initialized. So in order to install its gem files you need to run the following command:

rake gems:install

checkout their environment file: config/environment.rb

And they have defined some possible steps to run that project I think you should read them carefully. For your reference, I am sharing here again:

rails goo
cd goo
script/plugin install git://github.com/dcu/nanite-rails.git
./script/generate nanite
./script/generate agent counter schedule count
./script/generate model Count total:integer interval:integer
./script/generate controller counts
rake db:migrate
modify environment.rb
modify routes.rb
setup passenger vhosts # for production server
edit the counts_counter and the count nanite agent 

I hope my answer could give you enough info now to move forward. Thanks
