RubyGems is the Ruby standard for publishing and managing third party libraries.
For user documentation, see:
gem help
and gem help [command]
For gem developer documentation see:
Gem::Version for version dependency notes
Further RubyGems documentation can be found at:
RubyGems API (also
available from gem server
)
As of RubyGems 1.3.2, RubyGems will load plugins installed in gems or $LOAD_PATH. Plugins must be named ‘rubygems_plugin’ (.rb, .so, etc) and placed at the root of your gem’s require_path. Plugins are discovered via ::find_files then loaded. Take care when implementing a plugin as your plugin file may be loaded multiple times if multiple versions of your gem are installed.
For an example plugin, see the graph gem which adds a `gem graph` command.
RubyGems defaults are stored in rubygems/defaults.rb. If you’re packaging RubyGems or implementing Ruby you can change RubyGems’ defaults.
For RubyGems packagers, provide lib/rubygems/operating_system.rb and override any defaults from lib/rubygems/defaults.rb.
For Ruby implementers, provide lib/rubygems/#{RUBY_ENGINE}.rb and override any defaults from lib/rubygems/defaults.rb.
If you need RubyGems to perform extra work on install or uninstall, your defaults override file can set pre and post install and uninstall hooks. See ::pre_install, ::pre_uninstall, ::post_install, ::post_uninstall.
You can submit bugs to the RubyGems bug tracker on RubyForge

Provides a single method deprecate

something is going away.

Only MRI 1.9.2 has the custom prelude.
Location of Marshal quick gemspecs on remote repositories
An Array of Regexps that match windows ruby platforms.
Activates an installed gem matching dep
. The gem must satisfy
requirements
.
Returns true if the gem is activated, false if it is already loaded, or an exception otherwise.
Gem#activate adds the library paths in dep
to $LOAD_PATH.
Before a Gem is activated its required Gems are activated. If the version
information is omitted, the highest version Gem of the supplied name is
loaded. If a Gem is not found that meets the version requirements or a
required Gem is not found, a Gem::LoadError is raised.
More information on version requirements can be found in the Gem::Requirement and Gem::Version documentation.
# File rubygems.rb, line 234 def self.activate(dep, *requirements) raise ArgumentError, "Deprecated use of Gem.activate(dep)" if Gem::Dependency === dep Gem::Specification.find_by_name(dep, *requirements).activate end
An Array of all possible load paths for all versions of all gems in the Gem installation.
# File rubygems.rb, line 257 def self.all_load_paths result = [] Gem.path.each do |gemdir| each_load_path all_partials(gemdir) do |load_path| result << load_path end end result end

Find the full path to the executable for gem name
. If the
exec_name
is not given, the gem’s default_executable is
chosen, otherwise the specified executable’s path is returned.

Reset the dir
and path
values. The next time
dir

calculated from scratch. This is mainly used by the unit tests to provide
test isolation.

Returns a list of paths matching glob
that can be used by a
gem to pick up features from other gems. For example:
Gem.find_files('rdoc/discover').each do |path| load path end
if check_load_path
is true (the default), then ::find_files also searches
$LOAD_PATH for files as well as gems.
Note that ::find_files will return all files even if they are from different versions of the same gem.

The index to insert activated gem paths into the $LOAD_PATH.
Defaults to the site lib directory unless gem_prelude.rb has loaded paths, then it inserts the activated gem’s paths before the gem_prelude.rb paths so you can override the gem_prelude.rb default $LOAD_PATH paths.

Adds a post-build hook that will be passed an Gem::Installer instance when Gem::Installer#install is
called. The hook is called after the gem has been extracted and extensions
have been built but before the executables or gemspec has been written. If
the hook returns false

and the install will be aborted.

Refresh ::source_index from disk and clear searcher.

Try to activate a gem containing path
. Returns true if
activation succeeded or wasn’t needed because it was already activated.
Returns false if it can’t find the path in a gem.
# File rubygems.rb, line 200 def self.try_activate path # TODO: deprecate when 1.9.3 comes out. # finds the _latest_ version... regardless of loaded specs and their deps # TODO: use find_all and bork if ambiguous spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_path path return false unless spec begin spec.activate rescue Gem::LoadError # this could fail due to gem dep collisions, go lax Gem::Specification.find_by_name(spec.name).activate end return true end
