I’m using Ruby 2.4 on Mac Sierra. How do I figure out what Gem is requiring JSON 1.8.3? Although I haven’t specified this gem in my Gmefile, shown below

# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails'  #, '~> 4.2.7.1'
# Use SCSS for stylesheets
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0'
# Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
# Use CoffeeScript for .coffee assets and views
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.2'
# See https://github.com/rails/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
# gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby

# Use jquery as the JavaScript library
gem 'jquery-rails'
# Turbolinks makes navigating your web application faster. Read more: https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks
gem 'turbolinks', '~> 5'
# Build JSON APIs with ease. Read more: https://github.com/rails/jbuilder
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.5'
# Use Redis adapter to run Action Cable in production
# gem 'redis', '~> 3.0'

gem 'uuids'
gem 'addressable'
gem 'postgresql'
gem 'pundit'
gem 'omniauth-oauth2', '~> 1.3.1'
gem 'omniauth-google-oauth2'
gem 'omniauth-facebook'
gem 'omniauth-twitter'
gem 'omniauth-linkedin-oauth2'
gem 'jquery-ui-rails'
gem 'jquery-cookie-rails'
gem 'will_paginate'
gem 'bootstrap-sass'
gem 'autoprefixer-rails'
gem 'compass-rails'
gem 'pdf-reader'
gem 'jquery-turbolinks'
gem 'activerecord-import'
gem 'w3c_validators'
gem 'whenever', :require => false
gem 'roo-xls'
gem 'socksify'

but when I run “bundle install,” I get all these errors related to the JSON gem, that I haven’t specified anywhere.

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/davea/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0/gems/json-1.8.3 for inspection.
Results logged to /Users/davea/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0/extensions/x86_64-darwin-16/2.4.0/json-1.8.3/gem_make.out

An error occurred while installing json (1.8.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install json -v '1.8.3'` succeeds before bundling.

How do I figure out what is requiring this gem or how do I fix the errors altogether?

json is required by a couple of gems, including activesupport, which is required by rails.

As mentioned by jvillan, you can find the dependency tree using gem dependency, more specifically gem dep -R json, bundle viz, or look at the Gemfile.lock.

To fix this build error, you can try updating Bundler itself and xcode too:
```
$ xcode-select --install
$ sudo chown -R (whoami):admin /usr/local
$ sudo xcode-select --reset
$ softwareupdate --install
$ sudo xcodebuild -license
```
Then agree or with Apples license.

I faced this problem too and my solution is just fallback Ruby version to 2.3 and wait for all gems to run on 2.4
