module Gem

RubyGems is the Ruby standard for publishing and managing third party libraries.

For user documentation, see:

For gem developer documentation see:

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

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. See also ::find_latest_files

# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 422
def self.find_files(glob, check_load_path=true)

  files = find_files_from_load_path glob if check_load_path

  files.concat Gem::Specification.map { |spec|

  return files
end
find_latest_files(glob, check_load_path=true) click to toggle source

Returns a list of paths matching glob from the latest gems that can be used by a gem to pick up features from other gems. For example:

Unlike ::find_files, ::find_latest_files will return only files from the latest version of a gem.

# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 456
def self.find_latest_files(glob, check_load_path=true)
  files = []

sources=(new_sources) click to toggle source

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.

try_activate(path) click to toggle source

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 lib/rubygems.rb, line 177
def self.try_activate path
  # finds the _latest_ version... regardless of loaded specs and their deps
  # if another gem had a requirement that would mean we shouldn't
  # activate the latest version, then either it would already be activated
  # or if it was ambiguous (and thus unresolved) the code in our custom
  # require will try to activate the more specific version.

  spec = Gem::Specification.find_inactive_by_path path

  unless spec
    spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_path path
    return true if spec && spec.activated?
    return false
  end

  begin

  return true
end
ui() click to toggle source

Lazily loads DefaultUserInteraction and returns the default UI.

# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 910

  Gem::DefaultUserInteraction.ui
end
use_gemdeps() click to toggle source

Looks for gem dependency files (gem.deps.rb, Gemfile, Isolate) from the current directory up and activates the gems in the first file found.

You can run this automatically when rubygems starts. To enable, set the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS environment variable to either the path of your Gemfile or “-” to auto-discover in parent directories.

NOTE: Enabling automatic discovery on multiuser systems can lead to execution of arbitrary code when used from directories outside your control.

# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 1008
def self.use_gemdeps
  return unless path = ENV['RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS']
  path = path.dup

  if path == "-" then
    require 'rubygems/util'

    Gem::Util.traverse_parents Dir.pwd do |directory|
      dep_file = GEM_DEP_FILES.find { |f| File.file?(f) }

      next unless dep_file

      path = File.join directory, dep_file
      break
    end
  end

  path.untaint

  return unless File.file? path

  rs = Gem::RequestSet.new
  rs.load_gemdeps path

  rs.resolve_current.map do |s|
    sp = s.full_spec
    sp.activate
    sp
  end
end
Also aliased as: detect_gemdeps
use_paths(home, *paths) click to toggle source

win_platform?() click to toggle source

Is this a windows platform?
