There was an error parsing 'Gemfile': An empty gem name is not valid

I have a student receiving an error when running 'bundle install'. Things look right as far as file structure and the gemspec file. However I can't quite understand what this error is wanting to tell me. There are a lot of posts out there about this error, however they pertain to specific gems like 'bcrypt' etc. I don't see much out there regarding gemspec.enter image description here

CodePudding user response:

If it is intended in Gemfile, the syntax should look like this

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rspec'
gem 'other-gem-name'

If you want to package your ruby as a gem, then create .gemspec file not Gemfile. gemspec doesn't need to be inserted inside Gemfile.
