Relaxing Ruby plugin's gem version matching
I have a Ruby on Rails project. Its Gemfile defines a gem with a specific version. This version is slightly different from the version I have installed on the local machine. This works because I never run the project on the same machine as IDEA; the files are mounted from another server. So, IDEA sees somegem-0.8.1 while my project's Gemfile requires somegem-0.8.1.1. This is a problem for me because IDEA refuses to recognize the gem due to the slightly different version, and it highlights a bunch of code as unrecognized.
Because I am not able to simply do a 'gem install somegem --version 0.8.1.1' on the same machine as IDEA, I would like to relax IDEA's version matching, either for just that gem or for all gems. I'd like to say, in effect, "As long as I have somegem-0.8.x.x installed, fulfill the dependency on somegem-0.8.1.1." Is this possible?
------
Some background: version 0.8.1 is the latest public version of this gem. Version 0.8.1.1 is a private version that fixes some issues, but we have not yet contributed the changes upstream.

Hi,
if your Gemfile requires exact gem's verion then Ruby plugin requires it too and there is no way to configure plugin to allow other versions :(
But you always can change your Gemfile to allow such versions. E.g. "~>0.8.1" allows any 0.8.x.x.
Hope this helps, Oleg.
