how to add gem dependency with :path and :branch

Question

I am working on a rails gem that has dependency on the following

gem 'authlogic', :git => 'git://github.com/odorcicd/authlogic.git', :branch => 'rails3'

How can I add this in the gem spec as a dependency? Specifically I need to specifiy the path and branch in the dependency.

Answer 1

You need generate the gem. Publish it and after use this gem deploy.

Answer 2

You definitely want to use Bundler then. You would put exactly what you have into the Gemfile file. Go checkout the link to Bundler I left below.

For jeweler you would add something like this:

gem.add_dependency 'authlogic', '> 1.0', '<= 2.0'

But you might be better off using Bundler. It's not just for rails: http://gembundler.com/
