Private gem sources for Ruby
You can add configuration to tell Snyk where your private gems are hosted. This is the same information you would normally add as a Bundler environment variable.
Once you have added this configuration, Snyk uses the information to access private dependencies when creating Pull/Merge Requests by allowing Bundler to reach those deps in order to regenerate the lockfile.
This guide is relevant for Snyk UI integrations only. The CLI supports Ruby Projects with private registries without need for extra configuration.
Configuration of private gem sources for Ruby
Go to settings
> General.
Find the
RubyGems Bundler environment variables
section (see the screen illustration).Add environment variable names and values to define credentials for gem sources. These are generally the same as the values you set on your developer machine , in your CI environments, or both. Example: Name:
BUNDLE_GITHUB__COM
, Value:abcd0123generatedtoken:x-oauth-basic
To test the configuration, open a Pull/Merge Request on a Project that contains gems from your private registries to see a lockfile updated and included in the Snyk Fix Pull Request.

Requirements for configuration of private gem sources for Ruby
Variable values must be CGI escaped.
Gem sources must use
https
URLs. Example: Supported:gem "privvy", git: "https://github.com/testexample/ruby-gem-for-private-source"
Not supported:gem "privvy", git: "[email protected]:testexample/ruby-gem-for-private-source"
Gem sources must be publicly resolvable, that is, not behind a firewall.
Variables must be configured according to the Bundler Credentials for Gem Sources documentation.
