I am using Ruby 1.9.3 (mingw) on Windows 7; . I have created specific gemfile for it: Gemfile.mingw. Then I set a config option:

bundle config --local gemfile Gemfile.mingw

Then I check this options is saved:

$ bundle config
Settings are listed in order of priority. The top value will be used.
gemfile
  Set for your local app (c:/*****/.bundle/config): "Gemfile.mingw"

Then I run bundle install … just to see it still tries to install gems from default Gemfile.

Of course, when I run bundle install --gemfile=Gemfile.mingw it works properly. But seems it does not obey local configuration!

Tested with bundler versions 1.1.5, 1.2.0.rc2.

I also tried to set gemfile config option to full path, does not work as well, I cannot believe this feature is not working, probably I am just doing something wrong.

    OK, the only response I found is a comment on a similar bug:

    Unfortunately, by the time Bundler loads the config file, it is too late. You need to set the Gemfile using BUNDLE_GEMFILE=Gemfile.sj bundle install, or using bundle install –gemfile Gemfile.sj.

    Looks like pretty a strange feature, it allows to config alternative gemfile but it is not used.
