Description
Describe the problem as clearly as you can
I set --disable-gems in my RUBYOPT variable.
binding.irb causes a call to Gem.try_activate whenever the Gem constant is defined.
Standalone bundles include a bundler/setup.rb file, which defines the Gem constant even when Rubygems isn't required.
Thus, for me, binding.irb doesn't work with standalone bundles.
Did you try upgrading rubygems & bundler?
No, because I can see that Bundler's implementation is still incorrect: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/bundler/lib/bundler/installer/standalone.rb#L79-L97
Post steps to reproduce the problem
export RUBYOPT=--disable-gems- Install a standalone bundle
- After requiring
bundler/setupfrom the standalone bundle, add abinding.irbstatement - Observe the undefined method error on
Gem.try_activate
Which command did you run?
bundle install --standalone
What were you expecting to happen?
binding.irb to work
What actually happened?
binding.irb didn't work
If not included with the output of your command, run bundle env and paste the output below
Not sure how to do this

Research direction
Start in bundler/lib/bundler/installer/standalone.rb at the linked implementation and inspect how the standalone bundle's setup.rb defines Gem. Reproduce with RUBYOPT=--disable-gems, bundle install --standalone, and binding.irb; done means binding.irb works after requiring the standalone setup file without an undefined Gem.try_activate error.
