Update just one gem with bundler
Here you can find a good explanation on the difference between
Update both gem and dependencies:
bundle update gem-name
or
Update exclusively the gem:
bundle update --source gem-name
along with some nice examples of possible side-effects.
Update
As @Tim's answer says, as of Bundler 1.14 the officially-supported way to this is with bundle update --conservative gem-name
.
The way to do this is to run the following command:
bundle update --source gem-name
It appears that with newer versions of bundler (>= 1.14) it's:
bundle update --conservative gem-name
You simply need to specify the gem name on the command line:
bundle update gem-name
