class Gem::Specification

The Specification class contains the information for a Gem. Typically defined in a .gemspec file or a Rakefile, and looks like this:

Gem::Specification.new do |s|
  s.name        = 'example'
  s.version     = '0.1.0'
  s.licenses    = ['MIT']
  s.summary     = "This is an example!"
  s.description = "Much longer explanation of the example!"
  s.authors     = ["Ruby Coder"]
  s.email       = 'rubycoder@example.com'
  s.files       = ["lib/example.rb"]
  s.homepage    = 'https://rubygems.org/gems/example'
end

Starting in RubyGems 2.0, a Specification can hold arbitrary metadata. See metadata for restrictions on the format and size of metadata items you may add to a specification.

Constants

NONEXISTENT_SPECIFICATION_VERSION

The version number of a specification that does not specify one (i.e. RubyGems 0.7 or earlier).

Public Instance Methods

add_development_dependency(gem, *requirements) click to toggle source

Adds a development dependency named gem with requirements to this gem.

Usage:

spec.add_development_dependency 'example', '~> 1.1', '>= 1.1.4'

Development dependencies aren't installed by default and aren't activated when a gem is required.

# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 451
def add_development_dependency(gem, *requirements)
  add_dependency_with_type(gem, :development, *requirements)
end
add_runtime_dependency(gem, *requirements) click to toggle source

Usage:

spec.add_runtime_dependency 'example', '~> 1.1', '>= 1.1.4'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 462
def add_runtime_dependency(gem, *requirements)
  add_dependency_with_type(gem, :runtime, *requirements)
end
Also aliased as: add_dependency
executables() click to toggle source

Executables included in the gem.

For example, the rake gem has rake as an executable. You don’t specify the full path (as in bin/rake); all application-style files are expected to be found in bindir. These files must be executable Ruby files. Files that use bash or other interpreters will not work.

Usage:

spec.executables << 'rake'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 478
def executables
  @executables ||= []
end
extensions() click to toggle source

Extensions to build when installing the gem, specifically the paths to extconf.rb-style files used to compile extensions.

These files will be run when the gem is installed, causing the C (or whatever) code to be compiled on the user’s machine.

Usage:

spec.extensions << 'ext/rmagic/extconf.rb'

See Gem::Ext::Builder for information about writing extensions for gems.

# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 495
def extensions
  @extensions ||= []
end
extra_rdoc_files() click to toggle source

Extra files to add to RDoc such as README or doc/examples.txt

When the user elects to generate the RDoc documentation for a gem (typically at install time), all the library files are sent to RDoc for processing. This option allows you to have some non-code files included for a more complete set of documentation.

Usage:

spec.extra_rdoc_files = ['README', 'doc/user-guide.txt']
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 511
def extra_rdoc_files
  @extra_rdoc_files ||= []
end
rdoc_options() click to toggle source

Specifies the rdoc options to be used when generating API documentation.

Usage:

spec.rdoc_options << '--title' << 'Rake -- Ruby Make' <<
  '--main' << 'README' <<
  '--line-numbers'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 585
def rdoc_options
  @rdoc_options ||= []
end

def required_ruby_version= req
  @required_ruby_version = Gem::Requirement.create req
end
requirements() click to toggle source

Lists the external (to RubyGems) requirements that must be met for this gem to work. It's simply information for the user.

Usage:

spec.requirements << 'libmagick, v6.0'
spec.requirements << 'A good graphics card'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 618
def requirements
  @requirements ||= []
end
test_files=(files) click to toggle source

A collection of unit test files. They will be loaded as unit tests when the user requests a gem to be unit tested.

Usage:

spec.test_files = Dir.glob('test/tc_*.rb')
spec.test_files = ['tests/test-suite.rb']
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 630
def test_files= files
  @test_files = Array files
end

Recommended gemspec attributes

↑ top

Public Instance Methods

license=(o) click to toggle source

The license for this gem.

The license must be a short name, no more than 64 characters.

This should just be the name of your license. The full text of the license should be inside of the gem when you build it.

See opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical for a list of licenses and their abbreviations (or short names). GitHub also provides a license picker at choosealicense.com/

According to copyright law, not having an OSI-approved open source license
means you have no rights to use the code for any purpose-- in other words,
"all rights reserved".

You can set multiple licenses with licenses=

Usage:

spec.license = 'MIT'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 554
def license=o
  self.licenses = [o]
end
licenses=(licenses) click to toggle source

The license(s) for the library.

Each license must be a short name, no more than 64 characters.

This should just be the name of your license. The full text of the license should be inside of the gem when you build it.

See license= for more discussion

Usage:

spec.licenses = ['MIT', 'GPL-2']
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 572
def licenses= licenses
  @licenses = Array licenses
end

Required gemspec attributes

↑ top

Attributes

name[RW]

This gem's name.

Usage:

spec.name = 'rake'
require_paths[W]

Paths in the gem to add to $LOAD_PATH when this gem is activated.

See also require_paths

If you have an extension you do not need to add "ext" to the require path, the extension build process will copy the extension files into “lib” for you.

The default value is "lib"

Usage:

# If all library files are in the root directory...
spec.require_path = '.'
rubygems_version[RW]

The version of RubyGems used to create this gem.

Do not set this, it is set automatically when the gem is packaged.

summary[R]

A short summary of this gem's description. Displayed in `gem list -d`.

The description should be more detailed than the summary.

Usage:

spec.summary = "This is a small summary of my gem"
version[R]

This gem's version.

The version string can contain numbers and periods, such as 1.0.0. A gem is a 'prerelease' gem if the version has a letter in it, such as 1.0.0.pre.

Usage:

spec.version = '0.4.1'

Public Instance Methods

author=(o) click to toggle source

Singular writer for authors

Usage:

spec.author = 'John Jones'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 249
def author= o
  self.authors = [o]
end
authors=(value) click to toggle source

Sets the list of authors, ensuring it is an array.

Usage:

spec.authors = ['John Jones', 'Mary Smith']
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 260
def authors= value
  @authors = Array(value).flatten.grep(String)
end
files() click to toggle source

Files included in this gem. You cannot append to this accessor, you must assign to it.

Only add files you can require to this list, not directories, etc.

Directories are automatically stripped from this list when building a gem, other non-files cause an error.

Usage:

require 'rake'
spec.files = FileList['lib     .rb',
                      'bin/*',
                      '[A-Z]*',
                      'test/   *'].to_a

# or without Rake...
spec.files = Dir['lib/   *.rb'] + Dir['bin/*']
spec.files += Dir['[A-Z]*'] + Dir['test/**/*']
spec.files.reject! { |fn| fn.include? "CVS" }
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 343
def files
  # DO NOT CHANGE TO ||= ! This is not a normal accessor. (yes, it sucks)
  # DOC: Why isn't it normal? Why does it suck? How can we fix this?
  @files = [@files,
            @test_files,
            add_bindir(@executables),
            @extra_rdoc_files,
            @extensions,
           ].flatten.uniq.compact.sort
end
platform=(platform) click to toggle source

The platform this gem runs on.

This is usually Gem::Platform::RUBY or Gem::Platform::CURRENT.

Most gems contain pure Ruby code; they should simply leave the default value in place. Some gems contain C (or other) code to be compiled into a Ruby “extension”. The should leave the default value in place unless their code will only compile on a certain type of system. Some gems consist of pre-compiled code (“binary gems”). It's especially important that they set the platform attribute appropriately. A shortcut is to set the platform to Gem::Platform::CURRENT, which will cause the gem builder to set the platform to the appropriate value for the system on which the build is being performed.

If this attribute is set to a non-default value, it will be included in the filename of the gem when it is built such as: nokogiri-1.6.0-x86-mingw32.gem

Usage:

spec.platform = Gem::Platform.local
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 287
def platform= platform
  if @original_platform.nil? or
     @original_platform == Gem::Platform::RUBY then
    @original_platform = platform
  end

  case platform
  when Gem::Platform::CURRENT then
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform.local
    @original_platform = @new_platform.to_s

  when Gem::Platform then
    @new_platform = platform

  # legacy constants
  when nil, Gem::Platform::RUBY then
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform::RUBY
  when 'mswin32' then # was Gem::Platform::WIN32
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new 'x86-mswin32'
  when 'i586-linux' then # was Gem::Platform::LINUX_586
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new 'x86-linux'
  when 'powerpc-darwin' then # was Gem::Platform::DARWIN
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new 'ppc-darwin'
  else
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new platform
  end

  @platform = @new_platform.to_s

  invalidate_memoized_attributes
