Error: Could not find sqlite3-1.4.0 in any of the sources

Question

I'm currently trying to get a run.rb file going, but I keep getting errors with sqlite3. When I type bundle install, I get this success message:

Bundle complete! 7 Gemfile dependencies, 32 gems now installed.
Use `bundle info [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

However, when running ruby app/run.rb I get this message:

Could not find sqlite3-1.4.0 in any of the sources

I've been trying for hours to figure out what the issue is, I've uninstalled and reinstalled sqlite3, bundle installed a million times, and nothing seems to be working. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

For Rails 5.2.2 you can sort out this problem by specifying proper version of sqlite3 in your Gemfile:

gem 'sqlite3', '~> 1.3.6'

In 5-2-stable branch of Rails you can use sqlite 1.4, but in the 5.2.2 it causes the error.

Answer 2

I had the same error and fixed it by: First, I opened up the Gemfile in atom and changed the line gem 'sqlite3' to gem 'sqlite3' , '~>1.3.6'. Second, I ran gem install sqlite3 -v 1.3.6 on terminal. Last, I ran bundle install on terminal.

This worked for me... goodluck!

Answer 3

You can try installing the libsqlite3-dev package:

sudo apt-get install -y sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev

or

gem 'sqlite3', '~> 1.3', '>= 1.3.11'

Answer 4

I had the same issue and found that I didn't need sqlite to run my app.

So, I opened the Gemfile and deleted gem 'sqlite3' ... from it and everything worked fine.
