Can't load gem from local path

I'm creating an azure wrapper for dragonfly gem and I've published it in rubygems. Now I'm loading it in the Gemfile of my rails app with:

gem 'dragonfly-azure_data_store',
    git: 'https://github.com/meloncargo/dragonfly-azure_data_store.git',
    branch: :master

and the gem loads, but as I'm changing it constantly, I've configured bundler to load directly from my path:

bundle config local.dragonfly-azure_data_store /home/alter/workspace/meloncargo/dragonfly-azure_data_store

and when I start the rails app, it throws:

/home/alter/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.2@productwatcher/gems/activesupport-5.1.4/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:292:in `require': cannot load such file -- dragonfly-azure_data_store (LoadError)

I've tried setting the gem as a path, without the bundler config:

gem 'dragonfly-azure_data_store',
    path: '/home/alter/workspace/meloncargo/dragonfly-azure_data_store'

But I receive the same error. Just for the record, my local gem has the same changes as in master and any change I made locally (example: adding puts 'foo' inside def initialize of the main class), is reflected when I started the rails app, but eventually the error is raised.
Any idea what could be the problem?

I've just realized the problem has to do with I'm using require_reloader gem .
I've created an issue to see what happens with it.

Using a relative path for the argument should work

gem 'dragonfly-azure_data_store', path: '../dragonfly-azure_data_store'

And in your ruby file:

require 'dragonfly'
require 'dragonfly/azure_data_store'
