Gem installed in @global gemset is not available in other gemsets

Question

I installed rvm and then installed bropages in @global gemset.

$ rvm install 2.2.3
$ rvm use ruby-2.2.3@global
$ gem install bropages

When I run

$ gem list | grep bro
bropages (0.1.0)

I can see bropages is installed. But when I move to default gemset it is not available.

$ rvm use ruby-2.2.3@default
$ gem list | grep bro # Result is empty

I also tried official way.

$ rvm ruby-2.2.3@global do gem install bropages
Successfully installed bropages-0.1.0
Parsing documentation for bropages-0.1.0
Done installing documentation for bropages after 0 seconds
1 gem installed

But it too didn't work.

Running bro command in default gemset gives this error,

$ bro

    from /Users/andy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3@global/bin/bro:22:in `<main>'

I have tried these links but they didn't help at all.

Ruby 2.2.3 is the only version installed. My shell is Fish.

From comment

from the default gemset run: echo $GEM_HOME - $GEM_PATH from the global gemset run: gem list -d bro

Output is as follows,

$ rvm use ruby-2.2.3@default
Using /Users/andy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3
$ echo $GEM_HOME - $GEM_PATH
/Users/andy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3 - /Users/andy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3 /Users/andy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3@global

$ rvm use ruby-2.2.3@global
Using /Users/andy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3 with gemset global
$ gem list -d bro

your $GEM_PATH is set wrong, it has a space instead of colon — mpapis
@mpapis there was a bug in the rvm recommended script for fish shell. See my comment here. — Andrew-Dufresne

looks like your GEM_PATH is broken, pleas run:

export GEM_PATH=/Users/andy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3:/Users/andy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3@global

and try again:

bro
