how do i store a gemfile within my local directory ( for GIT V.C. ) running RVM

i was told that using config.gem alongside :path => "path/to/dir" would work.

on server restart though environment.rb does not p开发者_如何学Pythonull the gem im pointing at.

anyone have any ideas?

SO it seems running bundler was the way to go.

in console: gem install bundle

then

gem list

copy those gems and format them like this: http://gembundler.com/gemfile.html. Then place them in Gemfile (home dir)

NOW for the LOCAL gem ( which i have stored in project/local_gems/thin-1.2.10 ) i placed this in the Gemfile

gem "thin", :path => "local_gems/thin-1.2.10/"

next:

bundle install

NOW... heres the tricky bit.. when running 'thin' as you web server its necessary to run thin commands within the bundled environment SO:

bundle exec thin start

and there you have it ! Running a ' thin ' web server on rails 2.3.8 using bundler!

Its is worthwhile to note that you WILL NOT see updates to you local gem file until:
- you stopped the server ( ctrl + c )
- saved all files associated with that gem,
- redo 'bundle install'
- THEN run server again to see changes

Are you sure you are using rvm, and the rvm version you want to be using, when you are installing your gem? You might be trying to install the gem using your system ruby. If all that is the case, then you might want to set your default rvm version to be the one you want to use. Then you will always get the gems into that rvm version.
