RubyGems org - known empty gems for testing/CI? #5298

Description

I know this an odd question...

I'd like to have a known empty gem that can be used to test activation related code. The reason for an 'empty' gem is that we don't want anything using it, no dependencies, etc. I could create one, but that seems wasteful.

Does RubyGems have any used for testing?

The application is Puma, which interacts with Bundler when it is restarted. Restarts are often used to update applications, so the Gemfile may change, or the versions of installed gems may change.

Previously, we were using rdoc for this, but it's dependency on psych is causing issues with CI and older versions of RubyGems.
