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.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 1.9.0, a Specification can hold arbitrary metadata. This metadata is accessed via #metadata and has the following restrictions:

  • 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 UTF8, no binary data is allowed

For example, to add metadata for the location of a bugtracker:

s.metadata = { "bugtracker" => "http://somewhere.com/blah" }

Constants

CURRENT_SPECIFICATION_VERSION

The specification version applied to any new Specification instances created. This should be bumped whenever something in the spec format changes.

Specification Version History:

spec   ruby
 ver    ver yyyy-mm-dd description
  -1 <0.8.0            pre-spec-version-history
   1  0.8.0 2004-08-01 Deprecated "test_suite_file" for "test_files"
                       "test_file=x" is a shortcut for "test_files=[x]"
   2  0.9.5 2007-10-01 Added "required_rubygems_version"
                       Now forward-compatible with future versions

MARSHAL_FIELDS
NONEXISTENT_SPECIFICATION_VERSION

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

SPECIFICATION_VERSION_HISTORY

An informal list of changes to the specification. The highest-valued key should be equal to the CURRENT_SPECIFICATION_VERSION.

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 rubygems/specification.rb, line 400
def add_development_dependency(gem, *requirements)
  add_dependency_with_type(gem, :development, *requirements)
end
            
add_runtime_dependency(gem, *requirements) click to toggle source

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

Usage:

spec.add_runtime_dependency 'example', '~> 1.1', '>= 1.1.4'
 
               # File rubygems/specification.rb, line 411
def add_runtime_dependency(gem, *requirements)
  add_dependency_with_type(gem, :runtime, *requirements)
end
            
Also aliased as: add_dependency
author=(o) click to toggle source

Singular writer for authors

Usage:

spec.author = 'John Jones'
 
               # File rubygems/specification.rb, line 422
def author= o
  self.authors = [o]
end
            
authors=(value) click to toggle source

               # File rubygems/specification.rb, line 433
def authors= value
  @authors = Array(value).flatten.grep(String)
end
            
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 rubygems/specification.rb, line 449
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 rubygems/specification.rb, line 466
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 rubygems/specification.rb, line 482
def extra_rdoc_files
  @extra_rdoc_files ||= []
end
            
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.

You can set multiple licenses with licenses=

Usage:

spec.license = 'MIT'
 
               # File rubygems/specification.rb, line 499
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.

               # File rubygems/specification.rb, line 514
def licenses= licenses
  @licenses = Array licenses
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 rubygems/specification.rb, line 527
def rdoc_options
  @rdoc_options ||= []
end
            
required_ruby_version=(req) click to toggle source

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">

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'
 
               # File rubygems/specification.rb, line 547
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 rubygems/specification.rb, line 560
def requirements

               # File rubygems/specification.rb, line 572
def test_files= files
  @test_files = Array files
end
            

Required gemspec attributes ↑ top

Attributes

name[RW]

This gem's name.

Usage:

spec.name = 'rake'
require_paths[RW]

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

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

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 rubygems/specification.rb, line 303
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
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 rubygems/specification.rb, line 247
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
