02:06 <peter__> I am having a serious problem with bundler 1.11.2 on Windows and rails. When I run rails server, bundler tries to find a WINDOWS version of RAILTIES (railties project says no special windows version EXISTS). $ rails server Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "railties": In Gemfile: coffee-rails (~> 3.2.1) x86-mingw32 was resolved to 3.2.2, which depends on railties (~> 3.2.0) x86-mingw32 rails (= 5.0.1

02:08 <peter__> When bundler cannot find the (fictitious) railties windows versions (the "non-windows" versions ARE installed), it cancels any further ability to work with the rails project. Is there a way I can KILL bundler so that I can work with the project without it interfering?

03:49 <peter__> The problem was POOR ERROR MESSAGING. Instead of saying "can't find compatible versions", Bundler should have said "found two incompatible versions of railties." It only wants to install ONE version of a gem and there were older SASS and CoffeeScript gems that depended on an earlier version of railties (3.2.0) Once those earlier gems were commented out, Bundler was able to do "bundle install" and not interrupt "rails server".

03:50 <peter__> "Can't find compatible versions" left me thinking that it was looking for non-existent WINDOWS versions of railties, especially since it attached the windows platform name to gem names.
