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/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 ::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

dir

calculated from scratch. This is mainly used by the unit tests to provide
test isolation.

# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 701 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 426 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 460 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

gem from path

A Zlib::Inflate#inflate wrapper
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 537 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
then the gem's files will be
removed and the install will be aborted.

Adds a pre-uninstall hook that will be passed an Gem::Uninstaller instance and the spec that will be uninstalled when Gem::Uninstaller#uninstall is called
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 744 def self.pre_uninstall(&hook) @pre_uninstall_hooks << hook end
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.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 753 def self.prefix prefix = File.dirname RUBYGEMS_DIR if prefix != File.expand_path(RbConfig::CONFIG['sitelibdir']) and prefix != File.expand_path(RbConfig::CONFIG['libdir']) and 'lib' == File.basename(RUBYGEMS_DIR) then prefix end end

Refresh available gems from disk.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 766 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 1113 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

Allows setting the gem path searcher. This method is available when requiring 'rubygems/test_case'
# File lib/rubygems/test_case.rb, line 48 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 870 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.
# File lib/rubygems.rb, line 881 def self.sources= new_sources if !new_sources @sources = nil else @sources = Gem::SourceList.from(new_sources) end 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 180 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 929 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 ::dir and ::path. Used mainly by the unit tests to
provide environment isolation.
