Setting Your Ruby Version
Current default Ruby version | Minimum supported Ruby version |
---|---|
Services created before 2024-11-24 have a different default version. See below. |
Existing services that use an older version can continue to do so until 2025-07-01. See details. |
Set a different Ruby version in any of the following ways (in descending order of precedence):
-
Include a
Gemfile.lock
or agems.locked
file in the root of your repo that specifies the version to use underRUBY VERSION
:# Gemfile.lock RUBY VERSION ruby 3.3.0
You can add this entry to an existing
Gemfile.lock
file or update its value by running:bundle update --ruby
-
Add a file named
.ruby-version
to the root of your repo. This file contains a single line with the version to use:3.3.0
-
Add a file named
.tool-versions
to the root of your repo. This file can specify versions for multiple languages. To set the Ruby version, add a line like the following:ruby 3.3.0
-
Set the
ruby
directive in yourGemfile
.
To avoid version mismatches across environments, you can set your Ruby version in the .ruby-version
file, then read the value from that file in your Gemfile
:
# Gemfile
ruby file: ".ruby-version"
