rails bundle clean

Question

After updating a bundle  you will have some gems that may be obsolete -- since a newer version of that gem has been installed  There is no such command under the bundle executable i e  bundle clean  How does one get rid of these obsolete gems   This is an attempt to reduce slug size in my rails app

User · Answer

Just execute  to clean gems obsolete and remove print warningns after bundle    x000D   x000D  bundle clean --force x000D   x000D   x000D

Just remove the obsolete gems from your Gemfile  If you re talking about Heroku  you didn t mention that  then the slug is compiled each new release  just using the current contents of that file

If you are using Bundler 1 1 or later you can use bundle clean  just as you imagined you could   This is redundant if you re using bundle install --path  Bundler manages the location you specified with --path  so takes responsibility for removing outdated gems   but if you ve used Bundler to install the gems as system gems then bundle clean --force will delete any system gems not required by your Gemfile   Blindingly obvious caveat  don t do this if you have other apps that rely on system gems that aren t in your Gemfile   Pat Shaughnessy has a good description of bundle clean and other new additions in bundler 1 1

I assume you install gems into vendor bundle  If so  why not just delete all the gems and do a clean bundle install

If you re using RVM you may use rvm gemset empty for the current gemset - this command will remove all gems installed to the current gemset  gemset itself will stay in place   Then run bundle install in order to install actual versions of gems  Also be sure that you do not delete such general gems as rake  bundler and so on during rvm gemset empty  if it is the case then install them manually via gem install prior to bundle install

If you are using RVM you can install your gems into gemsets  That way when you want to perform a full cleanup you can simply remove the gemset  which in turn removes all the gems installed in it  Your other option is to simply uninstall your unused gems and re-run your bundle install command   Since bundler is meant to be a project-per-project gem versioning tool it does not provide a bundle clean command  Doing so would mean the possibility of removing gems associated with other projects as well  which would not be desirable  That means that bundler is probably the wrong tool to use to manage your gem directory   My personal recommendation would be to use RVM gemsets to sandbox your gems in certain projects or ruby versions

Honestly  I had problems with bundler circular dependencies and the best way to go is rm -rf  bundle  Save yourselves the headache and just use the hammer
