Custom Gem in / vendor / gems not loading

I recently decided to use some of the features that I have in several of my Rails applications and extract them in Engine. I ended up working with "Engine" and I'm trying to install a ready-made stone in one of my applications.

This particular gem is not what I want to be public, so I packed the gem with gem build my_gem.gemspec, and then placed the packed gem in the vendor / gem folder of my application. Then I added gem 'my_gem', '0.0.1', :path => 'vendor/gems'to my gemfile and launched bundle install.

Unfortunately, Rails does not seem to load the gem, and I cannot require it manually:

$ bundle exec rails console --sandbox

        from script/rails:6:in `<main>'

Am I doing something wrong? How to fix it?

Edit: Here is my gem environment information.
