There was a problem hiding this comment.
It may be better that we have a comment when spec is nil.
- ### Problem Bundler crashes when a Gemfile contains a plugin and you try to run `bundle install` while setting the BUNDLE_WITHOUT=default value. ### Context Setting the BUNDLE_WITHOUT=default is something that some deployment tooling does like [shipit](https://github.com/Shopify/shipit-engine/blob/a24b9d8b1b777e22f05311705be7938a4823eee6/app/models/shipit/deploy_spec/bundler_discovery.rb#L6) The intent being to only install gems that are required to deploy the app (for instance ones that are inside a `group :deploy` block). ### Solution Bundler assume that all plugins inside the Gemfile will get installed, but don't take in consideration that a BUNDLE_WITHOUT may have affected this. So before registering a plugin, make sure it's actually in the `specs` object (meaning it was installed on disk).

Bundler crashes when a Gemfile contains a plugin and you try to run
bundle installwhile setting theBUNDLE_WITHOUT=defaultvalue.What is your fix for the problem, implemented in this PR?
Context
Setting the BUNDLE_WITHOUT=default is something that some deployment tooling does like shipit. The intent being to only install gems that are required to deploy the app (for instance ones that are inside a
group :deployblock).Solution
Bundler assume that all plugins inside the Gemfile will get installed, but don't take in consideration that a
BUNDLE_WITHOUTmay have affected this.So before registering a plugin, make sure it's actually in the
specsobject (meaning it was installed on disk).Make sure the following tasks are checked
