Bundler issue on Ruby 3.3.0 Upgrade

Honestly, Ruby 3.2.2 to Ruby 3.3.0 upgrades have been really painless. I’ve hit every server and installed Ruby 3.3.0 with YJIT enabled and we’re ready to go as soon as the new Ruby_3.3.0 branches specs pass.

However, this one is rather annoying.

NoMethodError: undefined method `version' for an instance of Bundler::IncompleteSpecification

This current Gemfile.lock indicates we last bundled this with Bunder 2.3.20. I know the latest version is 2.5.5

RUBY VERSION
   ruby 3.2.2p53

BUNDLED WITH
   2.3.20

Ok in the Gemfile we have locked to a specific version of bundler, I’m not sure why. I’d think that bundler is pretty safe to allow the host system to have whatever version is installed manage this.

gem 'bundler', '~> 2.3.8'

If I remove this line from the Gemfile, nothing changes. I still get Unfortunately, an unexpected error occurred, and Bundler cannot continue. It’s expecting that version of bundler to manage it still.

Even if 2.5.5 is the default.

% gem list bundler

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bundler (2.5.5, default: 2.5.3, 2.4.21, 2.4.0, 2.3.20)
bundler-audit (0.9.1)
capistrano-bundler (2.1.0, 2.0.1)

So I have to force bundler to use the correct version for this bundle install to work. And success.
