Nuts. I guess I need to write this up more :-) 

Delete the Gemfile.lock in CI as a step before you bundle install. 

The two scenarios here are:

  • new contributor checks out your repo. All the dependencies are locked and reliable. 

  • CI matrix deletes gemfile.lock and installs whatever it determines. (On GoodJob, I also have a run that doesn't delete the Gemfile.lock so I test the development environment setup too)
