Check local gem version in Rails project

My Rails site uses a certain stone, which is really not very good. Every time I need to do something, I have to spend as much time adding functions to the gem as adding code to a real Rails project. But I don’t mind, and I have my Gemfile configured to point to my GitHub plug (I tried to give PR, but the maintainer seemed to be gone).

The problem is that I really did not find a reasonable way to test new things that I add to the gem. It would be especially nice to test it within rails c , but the only ways I can come up with are: a) Changing ~/.rvm/gems/.../foo.rb , which seems wrong or b) Inclining version, clicking Github also runs bundle up , which, in addition to taking up a lot of time, is obviously a disaster, since I don’t know for sure whether my commits are correct or not.

I would even be pleased with the irb standard. But various require lib/foo permutations from inside the gem directory do not work.

So what is the best thing here?

If you use the gem and work on it at the same time, the best way is to use the Bundler and provide a local path:

 gem 'my_bad_gem', path: '../my_bad_gem/'

This will look for the gem under the given (relative in this case) path. Another option is to use local git repositories (see http://bundler.io/v1.3/git.html ).
