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 Gem::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/defaults/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 Gem::pre_install
, Gem::pre_uninstall
, Gem::post_install
, Gem::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 224 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? dep = Gem::Dependency.new name, requirements loaded = Gem.loaded_specs[name] return loaded.bin_file exec_name if loaded && dep.matches_spec?(loaded) specs = dep.matching_specs(true) raise Gem::GemNotFoundException, "can't find gem #{dep}" 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 259 def self.binary_mode 'rb' end
The path where gem executables are to be installed.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 266 def self.bindir(install_dir=Gem.dir) return File.join install_dir, 'bin' unless install_dir.to_s == Gem.default_dir.to_s Gem.default_bindir end
Clear default gem related variables. It is for test
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 1158 def clear_default_specs @path_to_default_spec_map.clear end
Reset the dir
and path
values. The next time dir
or path
is requested, the values will be calculated from scratch. This is mainly used by the unit tests to provide test isolation.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 277 def self.clear_paths @paths = nil @user_home = nil Gem::Specification.reset Gem::Security.reset if defined?(Gem::Security) end

is complete
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 704 def self.done_installing(&hook) @done_installing_hooks << hook end
Quietly ensure the Gem directory dir
contains all the proper subdirectories for handling default gems. 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.

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

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 428 def self.find_files(glob, check_load_path=true) files = [] files = find_files_from_load_path glob if check_load_path files.concat Gem::Specification.stubs.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
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:
Gem.find_latest_files('rdoc/discover').each do |path| load path end
if check_load_path
is true (the default), then find_latest_files
also searches $LOAD_PATH for files as well as gems.
Unlike find_files
, find_latest_files
will return only files from the latest version of a gem.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 462 def self.find_latest_files(glob, check_load_path=true) files = [] files = find_files_from_load_path glob if check_load_path files.concat Gem::Specification.latest_specs(true).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

.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 531 def self.gzip(data) require 'rubygems/util' Gem::Util.gzip data end
Get the default RubyGems API host. This is normally https://rubygems.org
.

the default RubyGems API host.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 570 def self.host= host # TODO: move to utils @host = host end
A Zlib::Inflate#inflate
wrapper
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 539 def self.inflate(data) require 'rubygems/util' Gem::Util.inflate data end

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

Refresh available gems from disk.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 769 def self.refresh Gem::Specification.reset end
Register a Gem::Specification
for default gem.
Two formats for the specification are supported:
-
MRI 2.0 style, where spec.files contains unprefixed require names. The spec's filenames will be registered as-is.
-
New style, where spec.files contains files prefixed with paths from spec.require_paths. The prefixes are stripped before registering the spec's filenames. Unprefixed files are omitted.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 1116 def register_default_spec(spec) new_format = Gem.default_gems_use_full_paths? || spec.require_paths.any? {|path| spec.files.any? {|f| f.start_with? path } } if new_format prefix_group = spec.require_paths.map {|f| f + "/"}.join("|") prefix_pattern = /^(#{prefix_group})/ end spec.files.each do |file| if new_format file = file.sub(prefix_pattern, "") next unless $~ end @path_to_default_spec_map[file] = spec end end

# File lib/rubygems/test_case.rb, line 49 def self.searcher=(searcher) @searcher = searcher end
Returns an Array of sources to fetch remote gems from. Uses default_sources
if the sources list is empty.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 873 def self.sources @sources ||= Gem::SourceList.from(default_sources) end
Need to be able to set the sources without calling Gem.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.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 884 def self.sources= new_sources if !new_sources @sources = nil else @sources = Gem::SourceList.from(new_sources) end end
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 355 def self.spec_cache_dir paths.spec_cache_dir end

Prints the amount of time the supplied block takes to run using the debug UI output.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 917 def self.time(msg, width = 0, display = Gem.configuration.verbose) now = Time.now value = yield elapsed = Time.now - now ui.say "%2$*1$s: %3$3.3fs" % [-width, msg, elapsed] if display value end
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 182 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_by_path path return false unless spec return true if spec.activated? 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
Lazily loads DefaultUserInteraction
and returns the default UI.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 932 def self.ui require 'rubygems/user_interaction' Gem::DefaultUserInteraction.ui end
Looks for a gem dependency file at path
and activates the gems in the file if found. If the file is not found an ArgumentError
is raised.
If path
is not given the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS environment variable is used, but if no file is found no exception is raised.
If '-' is given for path
RubyGems searches up from the current working directory for gem dependency files (gem.deps.rb, Gemfile, Isolate) and activates the gems in the first one found.
You can run this automatically when rubygems starts. To enable, set the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS
environment variable to either the path of your gem dependencies file 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.

Use the home
and paths
values for Gem.dir
and Gem.path
. Used mainly by the unit tests to provide environment isolation.

Path for gems in the user's home directory
# File lib/rubygems/defaults.rb, line 76 def self.user_dir parts = [Gem.user_home, '.gem', ruby_engine] parts << RbConfig::CONFIG['ruby_version'] unless RbConfig::CONFIG['ruby_version'].empty? File.join parts end
The home directory for the user.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 951 def self.user_home @user_home ||= find_home.untaint end
Allows toggling Windows behavior. This method is available when requiring 'rubygems/test_case'
# File lib/rubygems/test_case.rb, line 57 def self.win_platform=(val) @@win_platform = val end
Is this a windows platform?
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 958 def self.win_platform? if @@win_platform.nil? then ruby_platform = RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os'] @@win_platform = !!WIN_PATTERNS.find { |r| ruby_platform =~ r } end @@win_platform end
