How to use local gem with bundler - ruby

Question

I have local ruby gem, with a development version forked from github. So I have it locally. Now I want to use it in my application. I'm using bundler so I did:
gem 'otrs_connector', :path => '/devel/otrs_connector'
problem is that I get errors about missing files
require 'rubygems'
require 'otrs_connector'
then run
$ ruby app.rb
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- otrs_connector (LoadError)
how can I load my "under development" gem?
this is my /devel/otrs_connector
$ ls -al /devel/otrs_connector

Answer 1

Where is the file stored? I think you stored it in a devel folder in your home folder, not at /devel. If you start a path with a /, you points to the root of the HD path.
You might want to change the path to
gem 'otrs_connector', :path => '~/devel/otrs_connector'
(please note the ~ which is a replacement for the path to your home folder).
