bundle config local: doesn't use local repo

[perlun]

I am trying to use the bundle config local approach to be able to work with a local copy of a gem I am authoring.

Here is the command I've used:

$ bundle config local.ecraft-web_api ~/git/ecraft/ecraft-web_api/

However, bundle install doesn't list this path in its output, and bundle update doesn't seem to take it in as well.

Using ecraft-web_api 2.0.3

I added an exception to the first line of the gem, which is not raised, so I'm quite sure it doesn't use my local version of the gem.

My Gemfile (except):

source 'https://private-gem-url/' do
  gem 'ecraft-web_api', branch: 'feature/add-authorization-support'         # Version specified in gemspec
end

Here is my Bundler and Ruby version:

$ bundle -v
Bundler version 1.14.6
$ ruby -v
ruby 2.3.3p222 (2016-11-21 revision 56859) [x86_64-darwin16]

You need to use it as a git gem rather than from a RubyGems source, but we definitely should be printing an error for using branch with a RubyGems source

Ah, OK! The use case I have is it is developed as a git gem, but every now and then being published as a Rubygem. But when making changes to the gem, it's nice to be able to tweak the gem locally and test it in its dependant.

Since the GitHub repo in question is private, it makes it harder for CI etc if I would specify the gem source to be the GitHub repo, the CI user will not have access to that repo.
