Hello! I’ve been struggling with this for a few days, so any help is appreciated! I’m developing a fork of a plugin that requires the discordrb ruby gem. For whatever reason, the most up to date version on discordrb | RubyGems.org | your community gem host is 3.4.0, which is about two years old and buggy. Luckily, there’s an up to date version of the plugin that exists here GitHub - shardlab/discordrb: Discord API for Ruby · GitHub, but hasn’t been able to be published to RubyGems :confused: How can I go about using the github version of this gem/dependency? I feel like I’ve tried just about everything.

Have you seen?: Discord Bot Construction Kit 🤖 [תמונה] FerrariFlunker: For whatever reason, the most up to date version on discordrb | RubyGems.org | your community gem host is 3.4.0, which is about two years old and buggy. It’s still under active development. Speaking to the developers recently the next version will be out “when it’s done”. Amongst other things they are working on Threading support. [תמונה] FerrariFlunker: Luckily, there’s an up to date version of the plugin that exists here These are the same thing. It’s just that the gem document only claims 3.4.0 as latest. The other is the official repo. If you click the Homepage link on your first link it takes you to your second link ;). I have no idea why the gem document does not list 3.4.1.

[תמונה] Robert: Have you seen?: Discord Bot Construction Kit :robot: I have! I’m pretty sure our plugin is a fork of a fork of that. We require some specific logic in our case, so it makes sense to develop our own version.

I feel like I’ve tried every method of declaring the dependency via github in plugin.rb already (check our commit history :smile:) [image] Our build fails with every gem syntax I’ve tried that tries to point to the github source. I’m pretty sure it has to do with how discourse/lib/plugin_gem.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub tries to find the .gemspec file for plugin gems. Would you be able to give me the steps for a workaround?

Hi @FerrariFlunker Here’s in an example of of an official plugin which uses a local copy of the holidays gem. I think you can use a similar pattern in your case. discourse-calendar/vendor/holidays at main · discourse/discourse-calendar main/vendor/holidays Adds the ability to create a dynamic calendar in the first post of a topic. - discourse/discourse-calendar Here’s how its included. plugin.rb cb4f35f95 # frozen_string_literal: true # name: discourse-calendar # about: Display a calendar in the first post of a topic # version: 0.2 # author: Daniel Waterworth, Joffrey Jaffeux # url: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-calendar # transpile_js: true libdir = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "vendor/holidays/lib") $LOAD_PATH.unshift(libdir) unless $LOAD_PATH.include?(libdir) gem 'rrule', '0.4.4', require: false load File.expand_path('../lib/calendar_settings_validator.rb', __FILE__) enabled_site_setting :calendar_enabled register_asset 'stylesheets/vendor/fullcalendar.min.css' register_asset 'stylesheets/common/discourse-calendar.scss'

A local version of the git repo (note: cannot be a submodule, has to be a true local copy) and the libdir inclusion lines worked perfectly! Thank you so much for your help, it’s incredibly appreciated @fzngagan and @merefield :+1: Hopefully this topic will help others find this answer, it’s been quite the journey to figure this out :smile:
