Let see how ‘gemsepec’ is used in gemfile.

Normally, when we write our rubygem, our directory name is the name of gem and gemspec found in same directory as “name_of_gem.gemspec”.

Let see the code of ‘gemspec’ defined in bundler(lib/bundler/dsl.rb).

Let understand above implementation with code example. Consider we have ‘dummy’ as rubygem.
Content of Gemfile of ‘dummy’ gem are:

As we do ‘bundle install’, then gemspec call without any options. Since we did not pass any options, default name, path, development_group get set as ‘.(current_directory)’, ‘{,*}’ and
