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 Gem::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 Gem::pre_install
, Gem::pre_uninstall
, Gem::post_install
, Gem::post_uninstall
.
You can submit bugs to the RubyGems bug tracker on GitHub

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 496 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.

# File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 52 def self.searcher=(searcher) @searcher = searcher end
The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable (or, if that's not set, the current time), converted to Time object. This is used throughout RubyGems for enabling reproducible builds.
If it is not set as an environment variable already, this also sets it.
Details on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH: reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/

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 rubygems.rb, line 197 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 => e # this could fail due to gem dep collisions, go lax spec_by_name = Gem::Specification.find_by_name(spec.name) if spec_by_name.nil? raise e else spec_by_name.activate end end return true end
Lazily loads DefaultUserInteraction
and returns the default UI.
# File rubygems.rb, line 1058 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.
# File rubygems.rb, line 1068 def self.use_paths(home, *paths) paths.flatten! paths.compact! hash = { "GEM_HOME" => home, "GEM_PATH" => paths.empty? ? home : paths.join(File::PATH_SEPARATOR) } hash.delete_if { |_, v| v.nil? } self.paths = hash end
Path for gems in the user's home directory
# File 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 rubygems.rb, line 1079 def self.user_home @user_home ||= find_home.tap(&Gem::UNTAINT) end
Allows toggling Windows behavior. This method is available when requiring 'rubygems/test_case'
# File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 60 def self.win_platform=(val) @@win_platform = val end
Is this a windows platform?
# File rubygems.rb, line 1086 def self.win_platform? if @@win_platform.nil? ruby_platform = RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os'] @@win_platform = !!WIN_PATTERNS.find { |r| ruby_platform =~ r } end @@win_platform end
Safely write a file in binary mode on all platforms.
# File rubygems.rb, line 884 def self.write_binary(path, data) open(path, 'wb') do |io| begin io.flock(File::LOCK_EX) rescue *WRITE_BINARY_ERRORS end io.write data end rescue Errno::ENOLCK # NFS if Thread.main != Thread.current raise else open(path, 'wb') do |io| io.write data end end end
