In Rails 4, your app's bin/ directory contains executables that are versioned like any other source code, rather than stubs that are generated on demand. Here's how to upgrade: bundle config --delete bin # Turn off Bundler's stub generator rake rails:update:bin # Use the new Rails 4 executables git add bin # Add bin/ to source control You may need to remove bin/ from your .gitignore as well. When you install a gem whose executable you want to use in your app, generate it and add it to source control: bundle binstubs some-gem-name git add bin/new-executable end_bin_upgrade_warning Object.const_set(:APP_PATH, File.expand_path('config/application', Dir.pwd)) require File.expand_path('../boot', APP_PATH) require 'rails/commands' end rescue SystemCallError # could not chdir, no problem just return end def self.find_executable EXECUTABLES.find { |exe| File.exists?(exe) } end end end
