RubyGems Plugins¶ ↑
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, Packaging¶ ↑
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/defaults/#{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.
Bugs¶ ↑
You can submit bugs to the RubyGems bug tracker on GitHub

Public Class Methods
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. requirements
allows you to
specify specific gem versions.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 257 def self.bin_path(name, exec_name = nil, *requirements) # TODO: fails test_self_bin_path_bin_file_gone_in_latest # Gem::Specification.find_by_name(name, *requirements).bin_file exec_name raise ArgumentError, "you must supply exec_name" unless exec_name requirements = Gem::Requirement.default if requirements.empty? specs = Gem::Dependency.new(name, requirements).matching_specs(true) raise Gem::GemNotFoundException, "can't find gem #{name} (#{requirements})" if specs.empty? specs = specs.find_all { |spec| spec.executables.include? exec_name } if exec_name unless spec = specs.last msg = "can't find gem #{name} (#{requirements}) with executable #{exec_name}" raise Gem::GemNotFoundException, msg end spec.bin_file exec_name end
The mode needed to read a file as straight binary.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 286 def self.binary_mode 'rb' end

values. The next time
dir

is requested, the values will be
calculated from scratch. This is mainly used by the unit tests to provide
test isolation.

Use the given configuration object (which implements the ConfigFile protocol) as the standard configuration object.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 330 def self.configuration=(config) @configuration = config end

Quietly ensure the Gem directory dir
contains all the proper
subdirectories. If we can't create a directory due to a permission
problem, then we will silently continue.
If mode
is given, missing directories are created with this
mode.
World-writable directories will never be created.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 390 def self.ensure_gem_subdirectories dir = Gem.dir, mode = nil old_umask = File.umask File.umask old_umask | 002 require 'fileutils' options = {} options[:mode] = mode if mode REPOSITORY_SUBDIRECTORIES.each do |name| subdir = File.join dir, name next if File.exist? subdir FileUtils.mkdir_p subdir, options rescue nil end ensure File.umask old_umask end
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.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 421 def self.find_files(glob, check_load_path=true) files = [] if check_load_path files = $LOAD_PATH.map { |load_path| Dir["#{File.expand_path glob, load_path}#{Gem.suffix_pattern}"] }.flatten.select { |file| File.file? file.untaint } end files.concat Gem::Specification.map { |spec| spec.matches_for_glob("#{glob}#{Gem.suffix_pattern}") }.flatten # $LOAD_PATH might contain duplicate entries or reference # the spec dirs directly, so we prune. files.uniq! if check_load_path return files end

Zlib::GzipReader wrapper that unzips
data
.

Get the default RubyGems API host. This is normally
https://rubygems.org
.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 538 def self.host # TODO: move to utils @host ||= Gem::DEFAULT_HOST end
Set the default RubyGems API host.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 545 def self.host= host # TODO: move to utils @host = host end
A Zlib::Inflate#inflate wrapper
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 513 def self.inflate(data) # TODO: move to utils require 'zlib' Zlib::Inflate.inflate data end
Top level install helper method. Allows you to install gems interactively:

Returns the latest release-version specification for the gem
name
.

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.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 557 def self.load_path_insert_index index = $LOAD_PATH.index ConfigMap[:sitelibdir] index end
Load plugins

have been built but before the executables or gemspec has been written. If
the hook returns false

removed and the install will be aborted.

Adds a hook that will get run before Gem::Specification.reset is run.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 709 def self.pre_reset(&hook) @pre_reset_hooks << hook end

# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 822 def self.sources @sources ||= Gem::SourceList.from(default_sources) end
Need to be able to set the sources without calling ::sources.replace since that would cause an infinite loop.
DOC: This comment is not documentation about the method itself, it's more of a code comment about the implementation.
