Add line of code to Gemfile that already contains that line of code

Question

My blog is based on Jekyll Bootstrap, and I've recently set up a new machine with Windows 10.

When I start my server on my local machine for testing, it says that I should add something to my Gemfile:

$ jekyll serve -w
Configuration file: C:/Users/mark/Documents/ploeh/Blog/_config.yml
            Source: C:/Users/mark/Documents/ploeh/Blog
       Destination: C:/Users/mark/Documents/ploeh/Blog/_site
      Generating...
                    done.
  Please add the following to your Gemfile to avoid polling for changes:
    gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' if Gem.win_platform?
 Auto-regeneration: enabled for 'C:/Users/mark/Documents/ploeh/Blog'
Configuration file: C:/Users/mark/Documents/ploeh/Blog/_config.yml
    Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000/
  Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.

As you can see, it tells me to add a line to my Gemfile. Unfortunately, I've already tried doing that, but it seems to make no difference:

$ cat Gemfile
gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' if Gem.win_platform?
source 'https://rubygems.org'

As you can see, the line in question is already in my Gemfile.

Moving things around in the Gemfile doesn't make any difference:

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' if Gem.win_platform?

Why is it saying this, and should I care? If I should care, then how can I resolve the issue?

In case it matters, here's my Ruby version:

$ ruby --version
ruby 2.2.2p95 (2015-04-13 revision 50295) [x64-mingw32]

Whats the jekyll version? – Notification

Is this helpful neff.co.at/2014/08/24/Jekyll-2.0-on-Windows.html? – Notification

@Notification How do I find the Jekyll version number? (Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm quite the Ruby novice.) – Nunes

@Notification That link doesn't seem to contain any information that relates to my issue. Did I miss something obvious? – Nunes

Maybe you need to run bundle install? Also, the source line should be at the top of the Gemfile. – Sigismondo

you can check gem version by running gem list and this will give you list of all gems installed along with there versions – Notification

What happens when you type gem install wdm in console? – Notification

@Notification That seems to have resolved the issue! Add your comment as an answer, and I'll be happy to accept it as the answer. Thank you. – Nunes

Thanks, comment added as answer. – Notification

Answer 1

Type gem install wdm in console and see if this resolves the issue.

Notification

Yea, according to this installing wdm 0.1.1 should solve the issue. – Juniejunieta

Thanks , for me it worked - gem install wdm and adding gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' to the Gemfile and then delete Gemfile.lock and write bundle install in the console. – Siphon

@AlonSamuel where is Gemfile.lock? why would you need to delete – Mot

@Stackstudent_09, sorry too long for me to remember now. Not writing JS lately – Siphon
