The issue

I have a Rails application that runs on Ruby alpine image. When I was running github actions workflow, it threw an error when installing gems. The workflow file is basically the copy of the official Ruby on Rails CI template, which you can easily find from Github Actions tab on any repo. When it hits the point where installing gems using bundle install, it stops with

Error: The process '/opt/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.1.2/x64/bin/bundle' failed with exit code 16

The workflow

# This workflow uses actions that are not certified by GitHub.  They are
# provided by a third-party and are governed by separate terms of service,
# privacy policy, and support documentation.
#
# This workflow will install a prebuilt Ruby version, install dependencies, and
# run tests and linters.

The fix

Simply, I had to run

bundle lock --add-platform x86_64-linux
Shell

on my local machine. Ofc, like me, if you are developing the app on a docker container, add docker stuff before the command. The reason being is that the workflow is running on Ubuntu, instead of Alpine like my local container.
