Hi! We are upgrading an application to Rails 4 and tests started to fail. We need Ruby 2.2.8, but CircleCI is running Ruby 2.3.1 I will post .circleci/config.yml ```auto version: 2 jobs: build: machine: ruby: version: "2.2.8" parallelism: 1 working_directory: ~/circleci-demo-ruby-rails steps: - checkout - run: name: git command: git --version - run: name: firefox command: firefox -version - run: name: rvm command: rvm version - run: name: install 2.2.8 command: rvm install 2.2.8 - run: name: use 2.2.8 command: rvm use 2.2.8 - run: name: ruby version command: ruby --version - run: name: mysql command: mysql --version - run: sudo service mysql restart - run: cp config/database.ci.yml config/database.yml - run: bundle check --path=vendor/bundle || bundle install --path=vendor/bundle --jobs=4 --retry=3 - run: mkdir ~/reports - run: RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:create db:structure:load - run: if [[! -e elasticsearch-5.5.1]]; then wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-5.5.1.tar.gz && tar -xvf elasticsearch-5.5.1.tar.gz; fi - run: bundle exec rake test - store_test_results: path: ~/reports ``` Error: ```auto #!/bin/bash -eo pipefail rvm version Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/opt/circleci/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/bin' is not at first place. Usually this is caused by shell initialization files. Search for 'PATH=...' entries. You can also re-add RVM to your profile by running: 'rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles'. To fix it temporarily in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-2.3.1'.

To ignore this error add rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1 to your ~/.rvmrc file. RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work. You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell. Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command. Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for an example. ``` ```auto #!/bin/bash -eo pipefail ruby --version ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-linux] ``` Any help is appreciated.
