Could not parse Gemfile

Error message

Could not parse Gemfile

What it means

While detecting Ruby frameworks, detectProject warns that it could not read the Gemfile (the catch around readFile/Gemfile processing fired). Rails/Sinatra detection is skipped and detection continues with structure checks.

Solutions

1. Verify readability: cat Gemfile
2. Fix permissions (chmod 644 Gemfile)
3. If the file is corrupted, restore from version control

import { access, constants } from 'fs/promises';
await access('Gemfile', constants.R_OK).catch(() => { /* skip ruby detection */ });

When it happens

Trigger: Gemfile exists but is unreadable (EACCES), is a directory, or an unexpected throw occurs while inspecting its contents.

Common situations: Permission-restricted Gemfile, Gemfile locked by another process, or an exotic Gemfile encoding that makes readFile throw.
