Relies on Bundler and its' binstubs to manage gems
Uses shims to handle executable gems
Updates shims upon receipt of the rbenv rehash command after new Ruby executables are installed (rehashing can be automated with the gem rehash plugin )

For example, here's a screenshot of log2viz running against the Rubygems Bundler API (written and maintained by Terence Lee, André Arko, and Larry Marburger, and running on Heroku):
log2viz gets all of its data from the Heroku log stream — the same data you see when running heroku logs --tail at the command line. It requires no changes to your app code and works for apps written in any language and web framework, demonstrating some of the benefits of logs as data. …

Lots of new releases to report this morning. I guess this is what Rubyists do on the weekend.
Ruby 2.0.0-p0 is released - The big one, the first stable Ruby 2.0 release. Pretty safe to say Ruby 1.8 is dead now.
RubyGems 2.0.0 Released - You probably want to switch if you're moving to Ruby 2.0. Don't forget to grab a prerelease copy of Bundler 1.3.0 at the same time.
rdoc 4.0.0 - Supporting the display of pages (such as readme files) and Markdown formatting.

…an unreleased version of Rails. You could always lock things down further by using the Bundler :ref option to restrict the version of Rails to a specific SHA .
Option 2 - Downgrade to Mocha 0.12.8 # Gemfile in Rails app gem "mocha", "~> 0.12.8", :require => false
# At bottom of test_helper.rb require "mocha"
Note: This isn't as bad as it sounds, because there aren't many changes in Mocha 0.13.x that are not in 0.12.x. …

That monkey patch to Bundler is within our Gemfile. We needed similarly unclean changes in other files in the Rails boot sequence. At the end of all of that, it booted correctly in both environments. We then iteratively fixed the test suite in Rails 3 while maintaining compatibility with Rails 2 — oftentimes switching out implementations by writing the Ruby equivalent of a C preprocessor flag. That resulted in 225 patches. At the same time, we added the rails_xss plugin to Rails…

Bundler can install binstubs in your project for all executables contained in the current bundle. bundle install --binstubs
This creates, among others, ./bin/rspec (simplified version shown):
#!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'rubygems' # Prepares the $LOAD_PATH by adding to it lib directories of all gems in the # project's bundle: require 'bundler/setup' load Gem . bin_path ( 'rspec-core' , 'rspec' )
RSpec can now be easily called with bin/rspec …

…define Foo " error represents. You see it less these days, thanks to Bundler, but any experienced Rails developer has seen that error countless times, even though very few have ever seen it happen because foo.rb actually failed to define Foo . That almost never happens.
Instead, the error-throwing code is lodged inside a module method for loading missing constants. So you see it whenever a constant is missing; it usually means you forgot to require some utterly unrelated …
