Why is bundle installing the wrong version for bigdecimal using 1.2.0?-Collection of common programming errors

I’m using Bundle to install gems in d:/cucumbertests/cucumber/ successfully, which installs BigDecimal v 1.1.0. This failed in d:/cucumbertests/cucumber/itinfix which installed BigDecimal v 1.2.0.

  1. How do I identify the correct version of BigDecimal in my Gemfile in d:/cucumbertests/cucumber/itinfix?
  2. Why is the version of BigDecimal correct in d:/cucumbertests/cucumber?
  3. The latest version is 1.2.0, found by running gem query --remote --name-matches bigdecimal is:

    REMOTE GEMS:
    
       bigdecimal (1.2.0) bigdecimal-segfault-fix (1.0.1) bigdecimal_places
       (0.1.1)
    
  4. If I specify "bigdecimal", "1.1.0" in my Gemfile in d:/cucumbertests/cucumber/itinfix, it installed OK, but is there any solution where I need not specify the version?

In my working directory d:/cucumbertests/cucumber/itinfix I can run:

D:\ruby\1.9.3.bat & bundle install --gemfile=Gemfile --path bundleGems

1.9.3.bat file is:

set path=D:\ruby\oracle\instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.2.0\instantclient_11_2;%path%
set path=D:\ruby\oracle\instantclient-sdk-nt-11.2.0.2.0\instantclient_11_2;%path%
set path=D:\ruby\1.9.3-p194\bin;%path%
set path=D:\ruby\1.9.3-p194\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\bin;%path%
