When you run:

bundle exec irb

It's no different than running irb alone... except that bundler will load all of the gems in your Gemfile.

But what about the most important gem of all, the one you are working on?

Well, bundler won't load that, but if you organize your gem code properly you'll be able to include all of the files in your gem with one single require or require_relative call. That file is the the single ruby file in the /lib folder.

I see now.

So the way to fix this is to run: require_relative 'lib/wargaming_api' every time when I am debugging?
