Bundler：将本地gem与系统gem一起安装

Question

I am using rvm, ruby 2.0.0 and bundler.

My Gemfile looks like this:

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'logger'
gem 'mygem', :path => '.'

bundle installs both of them gems. bundle show shows logger is installed in ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems , but mygem is installed in the path where the gem is located.

Is there any way to get bundle to install the local gem into rvm's gems directory?

Answer 1

No, Bundler treats path gems differently and does not install them to your GEM_PATH . This is so that you don't need to reinstall as you make changes.

It is not normal or necessary for a gem to point to itself or its runtime dependencies in its Gemfile . You might want to add gemspec to do this automatically. See http://bundler.io/v1.3/rubygems.html
