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).
Optional gemspec attributes
↑ topAttributes
The path in the gem for executable scripts. Usually 'bin'
Usage:
spec.bindir = 'bin'
The certificate chain used to sign this gem. See Gem::Security for details.
A long description of this gem
The description should be more detailed than the summary but not excessively long. A few paragraphs is a recommended length with no examples or formatting.
Usage:
spec.description = <<-EOF Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby. Tasks and dependencies are specified in standard Ruby syntax. EOF
:attr_accessor: metadata
The metadata holds extra data for this gem that may be useful to other consumers and is settable by gem authors without requiring an update to the rubygems software.
Metadata items have the following restrictions:
-
The metadata must be a Hash object
-
All keys and values must be Strings
-
Keys can be a maximum of 128 bytes and values can be a maximum of 1024 bytes
-
All strings must be UTF-8, no binary data is allowed
To add metadata for the location of a issue tracker:
s.metadata = { "issue_tracker" => "https://example/issues" }
A message that gets displayed after the gem is installed.
Usage:
spec.post_install_message = "Thanks for installing!"
The version of Ruby required by this gem
The RubyGems version required by this gem
The key used to sign this gem. See Gem::Security for details.
Public Instance Methods
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 471 def add_development_dependency(gem, *requirements) add_dependency_with_type(gem, :development, *requirements) end
Adds a runtime dependency named gem
with
requirements
to this gem.
Usage:
spec.add_runtime_dependency 'example', '~> 1.1', '>= 1.1.4'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 482 def add_runtime_dependency(gem, *requirements) add_dependency_with_type(gem, :runtime, *requirements) end
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.
Executables included may only be ruby scripts, not scripts for other languages or compiled binaries.
Usage:
spec.executables << 'rake'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 501 def executables @executables ||= [] end
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 518 def extensions @extensions ||= [] end
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 534 def extra_rdoc_files @extra_rdoc_files ||= [] end
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 614 def rdoc_options @rdoc_options ||= [] end
The version of Ruby required by this gem. The ruby version can be specified to the patch-level:
$ ruby -v -e 'p Gem.ruby_version' ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin12.4.0] #<Gem::Version "2.0.0.247">
Because patch-level is taken into account, be very careful specifying using `<=`: `<= 2.2.2` will not match any patch-level of 2.2.2 after the `p0` release. It is much safer to specify `< 2.2.3` instead
Usage:
# This gem will work with 1.8.6 or greater... spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 1.8.6' # Only with ruby 2.0.x spec.required_ruby_version = '~> 2.0' # Only with ruby between 2.2.0 and 2.2.2 spec.required_ruby_version = ['>= 2.2.0', '< 2.2.3']
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 641 def required_ruby_version= req @required_ruby_version = Gem::Requirement.create req end
The RubyGems version required by this gem
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 648 def required_rubygems_version= req @required_rubygems_version = Gem::Requirement.create req end
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 661 def requirements @requirements ||= [] end
Recommended gemspec attributes
↑ topAttributes
A contact email address (or addresses) for this gem
Usage:
spec.email = 'john.jones@example.com' spec.email = ['jack@example.com', 'jill@example.com']
The URL of this gem's home page
Usage:
spec.homepage = 'https://github.com/ruby/rake'
Public Instance Methods
The license for this gem.
The license must be 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 (at the top level) when you build it.
The simplest way, is to specify the standard SPDX ID spdx.org/licenses/ for the license. Ideally you should pick one that is OSI (Open Source Initiative) opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical approved.
The most commonly used OSI approved licenses are MIT and Apache-2.0. GitHub also provides a license picker at choosealicense.com/.
You should specify a license for your gem so that people know how they are permitted to use it, and any restrictions you're placing on it. Not specifying a license means all rights are reserved; others have no rights to use the code for any purpose.
You can set multiple licenses with licenses=
Usage:
spec.license = 'MIT'
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 583 def license=o self.licenses = [o] end
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-2.0']
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 601 def licenses= licenses @licenses = Array licenses end
Required gemspec attributes
↑ topAttributes
This gem's name.
Usage:
spec.name = 'rake'
The version of RubyGems used to create this gem.
Do not set this, it is set automatically when the gem is packaged.
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"
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
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 347 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.compact.uniq.sort end
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 gem should leave the default value in place unless the 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 291 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 @new_platform end
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_paths = ['.']
# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 224 def require_paths=(val) @require_paths = Array(val) end
