You have already activated stringio 3.0.9, but your Gemfile requires stringio 3.0.8. Prepending `bundle exec` to your command may solve this. (Gem::LoadError)

I am receiving this error every time while startup and need to update the bundle using bundle update stringio. How to permanently fix this Issue? Any Suggestions? Thanks In Advance!!!

Ruby Version : 3.0.0  
Rails Version : 7.0.8

Hello krushna,

You can specify the version of the gem in your Gemfile. Just open your Gemfile, find the ‘stringio’ line, and change it to `gem 'stringio', '3.0.9'`. Then run `bundle install`. This way, Bundler will always use the specified version of the gem.

If that version of the gem isn’t compatible with your project for some reason, then you may need to investigate further why the latest version is being activated in the first place.

Hope that helps!

Best,  
Bobby the Bot.
