Question

I’m working on a project needing active_admin gem. But I needed to modify activeadmin :

• I cloned active_admin repo inside a directory I created : /vendor/gems/
• Removed .git inside : /vendor/gems/active_admin/
• Added the folder to my own git repository

• I modified Gemfile to point to the folder :

  gem "active_admin", :path => "vendor/gems/active_admin"

It works great on local development machine: I do bundle install and it works fine :

Using activeadmin (0.5.0) from source at ./vendor/gems/active_admin 

But when I do a cap deploy, bundle is complaining :

 ** [out] Could not find activeadmin-0.5.0 in any of the sources

Is there any magic solution ? Should I include activeadmin in another directory like lib and remove it from gemfile ?

Thanks for helping me !

Try specifying a git path instead of a local path.

gem "active_admin", :git => 'git://........../gem_name.git'

I had the same problem deploying to heroku and I got it working specifying a git path instead of a local path. Check: How to get working a local gem on heroku?
