How to put Ruby dependencies in local project folder

Question

Is there a way to put a ruby gem dependencies inside the project root folder ( in vendor directory or something similar ) ?

Answer 1

Run bundle package to cache gems to ./vendor/cache. As the docs point out, bundler will still look for platform-specific gems on rubygems.org. If you have control over the platforms (e.g. same development and deployment platforms), then you can use bundle install --local in addition to bundle package. You may also want to consider a command like bundle install --path vendor/bundle in this case.
