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 and then loaded.
For an example plugin, see the Graph gem which adds a `gem graph` command.
RubyGems defaults are stored in lib/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/post install and uninstall hooks. See ::pre_install, ::pre_uninstall, ::post_install, ::post_uninstall.
You can submit bugs to the RubyGems bug tracker on GitHub

Returns binary extensions dir for specified RubyGems base dir or nil if such directory cannot be determined.

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 rubygems.rb, line 502 def self.find_files(glob, check_load_path=true) files = [] files = find_files_from_load_path glob if check_load_path gem_specifications = @gemdeps ?

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.

Default options for gem commands for Ruby packagers.
The options here should be structured as an array of string “gem” command names as keys and a string of the default options as values.
Example:
def self.operating_system_defaults
{ 'install' => '--no-rdoc --no-ri --env-shebang', 'update' => '--no-rdoc --no-ri --env-shebang' }
end
# File rubygems/defaults.rb, line 192 def self.operating_system_defaults {} end

Retrieve the PathSupport object that RubyGems uses to lookup files.
# File rubygems.rb, line 379 def self.paths @paths ||= Gem::PathSupport.new(ENV) end
Initialize the filesystem paths to use from env
.
env
is a hash-like object (typically ENV) that is queried for
'GEM_HOME', 'GEM_PATH', and 'GEM_SPEC_CACHE' Keys
for the env
hash should be Strings, and values of the hash
should be Strings or nil
.
# File rubygems.rb, line 389 def self.paths=(env) clear_paths target = {} env.each_pair do |k,v| case k when 'GEM_HOME', 'GEM_PATH', 'GEM_SPEC_CACHE' case v when nil, String target[k] = v when Array unless Gem::Deprecate.skip warn <<-eowarn Array values in the parameter to `Gem.paths=` are deprecated.

Default options for gem commands for Ruby implementers.
The options here should be structured as an array of string “gem” command names as keys and a string of the default options as values.

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

removed and the install will be aborted.

The directory prefix this RubyGems was installed at. If your prefix is in a standard location (ie, rubygems is installed where you'd expect it to be), then prefix returns nil.

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.

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.

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.
