I have the following in my .circle.yml

```auto
machine:
  ruby:
    version: 2.3.0
test:
  override:
    - bundle exec rake travis

```

When bundle install runs its using ruby 1.9 though not 2.3.0 and my tests are failing because of it. Anyone have ideas?

I found having a `.ruby-version` file with `2.3.0` as it’s only contents was what I needed to make sure to have, and I ended up removing the ruby definition from the `circle.yml` file and everything started to run properly.
