Sometimes you need to do the upgrade to the gem and do test in local. Here is the easiest way to apply the latest gem version to your irb.

  • cd to the root dir of your gem project
  • rake build
  • gem build GEMNAME.gemspec( like gem build to_file.gemspec )
  • sudo gem install GEMNAME -l ( like sudo gem install to_file -l )
  • run irb and do your test 🕶️
