Description
I came accross this in a project where I had to upgrade rails from 5.2 to 6.1 and it had a private gem called app_store
.
The issue may come up if there is a gem with the same name in the public source, in this case, rubygems.
If you go to rubygems you will find an app_store
gem there. Here's the github
In this specific case, if I ran bundle_report
, it would say:
app_store 0.1.0 - upgrade to 0.1.2
Which has no version restriction on rails and has not been updated in 12 years. The actual gem being used was in the engines/
folder of the project, which did have a restriction on rails and had to be altered to accept rails 6.1.
Expected behavior
bundle_report
should've grouped this gem with the other private gems as having no new version found for it. Maybe, ideally, be able to tell that it is a private gem and suggest it's gemspec be updated?
Steps to reproduce
I've not tested this with other gems, but I'd try:
- Declare some local private gem in a test project using rails 5 or 6 that has the same name of some public gem in rubygems.
- Have the local gem be incompatible with some newer version of rails, like rails 7.
- Make sure that it's version is equal to some version of the gem in rubygems. Don't know if this is strictly required, but it would mirror the situation I found.
- Add it to the Gemfile like so:
gem 'gem_with_same_name_as_some_remote_gem', path: '/local/path'
- Run
bundle install
and then runbundle_report
.
