Bundler: You are trying to install in deployment mode after changing your Gemfile

The error message you're getting regarding Gemfile.lock may be because your Gemfile and Gemfile.lock don't agree with each other. It sounds like you've changed something in your Gemfile since you last ran bundle install (or update). When you bundle install, it updates your Gemfile.lock with any changes you've made to Gemfile.

Make sure you run bundle install locally, and check-in to source control your newly updated Gemfile.lock after that. Then try deploying.

Edit: As recognised in the comments, a conditional in the Gemfile resulted in a valid Gemfile.lock on one platform, invalid on another. Providing a :platform flag for these platform-dependent gems in the Gemfile should solve the asymmetry.

vi .bundle/config

change the BUNDLE_FROZEN option from '1' to '0'

do "bundle install"

OR

run "bundle config"

see if the "frozen" value is true set it to false

bundle config frozen false
