Defining a local gem

I have moved some of my common fucntionality to a seperate gem and have been using that. In production I include the gem directly from .

#common
gem 'engine', path: '../engine'
#gem 'engine', branch: 'master', git: 'source to engine.git'

The problem is when I get to development mod I comment out the second line and revert it back before checking in. This is kind of irritating to do every time I've to check in. I cannot add the to as the app is still under development and we keep modifying this file all the time.

I tried grouping them separately using

group :development, :test do
   gem 'engine', path: '../engine'
group :production do
   gem 'engine', branch: 'master', git: 'source to engine.git'

But it throws an error saying that I cannot define a gem twice. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.

Please help me with this.

The gem is really defined twice in the two groups, since Gemfile parser just see into a group anyway. Try to close the gem for production environment under if condition:

group :development, :test do
   if ENV[ 'RAILS_ENV' ] != 'production'
      gem 'engine', path: '../engine'
   end
end

group :production do
   if ENV[ 'RAILS_ENV' ] == 'production'
      gem 'engine', branch: 'master', git: 'source to engine.git'
   end
end
