I am trying to install a gem from github like this: gem ‘omniauth’, :git

  • 0

I am trying to install a gem from github like this:

gem 'omniauth', :git => "git://github.com/intridea/omniauth.git", :require => "omniauth"

The problem is that the gem is not actually being loaded. The ruby objects are not there.

So, bundle show omniauth shows me: Users/felipe/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/bundler/gems/omniauth-5972c94792cf

The problem is that the gem is being installed to a different location from the regular ones. I expected it to be `/Users/felipe/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/“

Any idea on how to fix this?

    I think you’re missing these two lines:

    require "rubygems"
require "bundler/setup"

    as you can see in Bundler’s source code, “bundler/setup” is going to put gems managed by Bundler in the Ruby’s load path:
    https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/blob/1-0-stable/lib/bundler/setup.rb#L22

    Hope this helps 🙂
