Anyone any suggestion on this @kojix2

Well, there have been a lot of troubles reported about bundler in the past...
A number of contributors have tried to solve these problems.
However, even today, IRuby is not fully integrated with bundler. That's why I was hesitant to reply.

So I'm going to ask a few additional questions, even though I may not be able to solve this problem...

1. Have you run the bundle install command yet?
2. Is payapi_client your original gem? Perhaps it's some kind of API client you make to get data from the web service, and that hasn't been open-sourced yet?
3. Can you call gems other than payapi_client with bundler in Jupyter? I mean, is this problem specific to payapi_client? Or you can not call all the other gem?
4. Can you call payapi_client with bundle exec irb -r payapi_clinet ? I mean, is this problem specific to IRuby and you can call payapi_client in irb console?
5. Which do you use? jupyter lab or jupyter notebook or other consoles?
6. Do you use IRuby with Rails or not?

@kojix2 Answer to your question

1. I executed 'bundle install' but it didn't resolve the error.
2. Yes 'payapi_client' is original gem and its not opensource. It is local gem.
3. Yes I am able to call open source and from gem repository but error arises when I tried calling local gem using 'require'
4. Its issue with 'IRuby'
5. I am using 'Jupyter Notebook'.
6. I am using 'IRuby' not rails.

$LOAD_PATH is a Ruby array of paths to look for files to ’require‘ in. Does your path show up in that array? If not, can you add it, and work around your issue?

[KamalPatel365]

Ok I will try this. Thanks @olleolleolle

[kojix2]

It was not reproduced in the latest environment.
IRuby 0.4.0 and Ruby 2.7.1

As @olleolleolle suggests, you should check p $LOAD_PATH to see if bundler adds the load path correctly.

[KamalPatel365]

Ok @kojix2 I will do this

Hey @KamalPatel365, I couldn't tell if you've already tried this, but this seems to work for me for local gems with iRuby.

In Gemfile:

gem 'payapi_client', path: 'path/to/payapi_client'

In notebook:

# require all gems
Bundler.require
# or require individually
require "payapi_client"
