The GEMFILE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GEMFILE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GEMFILE file on each system platform.
What is GEMFILE file?
The GEMFILE file has been categorized as Developer Files. The creator of this file is Ruby community. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Ruby RubyGems is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Sublime Text application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. You can use Ruby in case Sublime Text cannot be used.
How to open GEMFILE file?
The main problem with Ruby RubyGems is that the GEMFILE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GEMFILE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GEMFILE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sublime Text
In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sublime Text into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GEMFILE with Sublime Text. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GEMFILE files.
Programs to open GEMFILE file
Remember to download programs supporting GEMFILE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with GEMFILE files
If, despite the installed application, the GEMFILE file does not start in the Sublime Text application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sublime Text application as the default for handling the GEMFILE file.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
If, however, after binding Sublime Text with Ruby RubyGems there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GEMFILE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GEMFILE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GEMFILE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GEMFILE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GEMFILE files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GEMFILE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ruby community
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GEMFILE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GEMFILE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GEMFILE file again. However, some background programs may block the GEMFILE file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
