bundle update causes app to begin to fail

Thanks for creating an issue! Please fill out this form so we can be sure to have all the information we need, and to minimize back and forth.

• What are we trying to do?

  • Keep everything running smoothly!

• What feature or behavior is this required for?

  • being able to safely run bundle update

• How could we solve this issue? (Not knowing is okay!)

  • I'm very suspicious of the platform-api line in our Gemfile @colinxfleming says its a legacy gem from before Heroku gave us a cert, but somewhat hard to extract from our system.

• Anything else?

Reproduce by checking out master, running rake test (tests should start, cancel out), run bundle update (tests will fail to run).

After I commented out platform-api, faker began throwing an error. Seems to be a problem for others as well

[lomky]

faker released an update rolling back their error.
platform-api is still causing trouble. Commenting it out of the Gemfile & running bundle update allows the server to start again, but we should probably extract the gem more carefully than that.

platform-api is being shot into space via #1137 and #958 , which I hope to have into production tomorrow. (I think Heroku has a much smoother process around this now.) tough break for faker, yikes.

There are two open 'update a bunch of dependencies' PRs ( #1122 and #1123 ), so that hopefully fixes a good part of this. @lomky what say we call this good when we get our gemnasium badge to change from update! to green?

Platform-api is gone. One down one to go.
