Troubleshooting

• If you are having issues with the site building, you can run a set of cleaning commands to reset your environment.
• If you have issues with the gem bundler, try to update your bundles with bundle update.

Environment Troubles

• npm run reinstall
  • This will clear out your node_modules folder, any vendor folders, reinstall all modules and copy vendor files back to their respective locations.
• gulp cleanVendors
  • This will remove just the vendor files that were copied over during the gulp process.
  • Run gulp to copy a clean set of vendor files back to your directories.
