The Ruby on Rails image seems to be using rvm to handle Ruby. All fine and good.
I need to install ZenTest 4.7.0 which requires a high version of rubygems… But running gem update --system doesn’t seem to be doing the right thing. As much as it tells me the latest (2.4.1) is installed, when I run “gem install ZenTest -v 4.7.0”, I get a complaint that I’m using an old version of Rubygems.
What’s going on - how can I successfully install ZenTest?

gem update --system will update rubygems to the latest version. This instead seems like a problem in the version checking done by older versions of ZenTest. For instance, I hit the same issue if I run gem install ZenTest -v 4.7.0 but if I install a more recent version of ZenTest it installs cleanly:
gem install ZenTest -v 4.10.1
Reading through this bug report, it looks like it might just be a confussing error message. The ZenTest version you are trying to install needs rubygems >= 1.8 but also < 2.1
