I have a custom gem that is published only to Github, not rubygems.org, and updated its dependencies to include the gem 'net-http-persistent'.
I followed the same format which I did previously for my other dependencies (using a .gemspec file), and bundle update still works just fine. However, now when I try to deploy the main app (which includes my custom gem) to my Staging server with Capistrano, I'm hit with this error:

I've been able to replicate the error locally by simply running rake assets:precompile. I've tried many potential fixes, including installing net-http-persistent locally and adding it to my Gemfile, but to no avail.
Here's what the custom gem looks like in my gemfile currently:
gem 'series25', git: 'git://github.com/chapmanu/series25.git'
I made this issue in a bit of a hurry, so if I'm missing any pertinent information let me know. Thanks ahead of time for helping!
Turns out that while the gemspec file needed spec.add_dependency 'net-http-persistent', the file in which I put all of my require statements (In my case & in most cases something like lib/mygem.rb) needed require 'net/http/persistent'.
Certainly specific to my case with this gem, but hopefully useful to anyone else who runs into a similar problem at some point.
