>As a workaround you can install graphiql-rails as root using gem command. Since /var/lib/gitlab/.gem is not in GEM_PATH the installed gem is not found by gitlab-sidekiq. We will have to set GEM_PATH globally. I will check.

Run 'gem env gempath' and set GEM_PATH variable with this value and /var/lib/gitlab/.gem added in /etc/gitlab/gitlab-debian.conf

I will try to do this automatically too.
