Gem::Installer

The installer installs the files contained in the .gem into the Gem.home.

Gem::Installer does the work of putting files in all the right places on the filesystem including unpacking the gem into its gem dir, installing the gemspec in the specifications dir, storing the cached gem in the cache dir, and installing either wrappers or symlinks for executables.

The installer invokes pre and post install hooks. Hooks can be added either through a rubygems_plugin.rb file in an installed gem or via a rubygems/defaults/#{RUBY_ENGINE}.rb or rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb file. See Gem.pre_install and Gem.post_install for details.

Constants

ENV_PATHS: Paths where env(1) might live. Some systems are broken and have it in /bin

Attributes

exec_format[W]

Overrides the executable format.

This is a sprintf format with a “%s” which will be replaced with the executable name. It is based off the ruby executable name's difference from “ruby”.

install_lock[R]

Certain aspects of the install process are not thread-safe. This lock is used to allow multiple threads to install Gems at the same time.

path_warning[RW]

True if we've warned about PATH not including Gem.bindir

bin_dir[RW]

The directory a gem's executables will be installed into

build_args[W]

Available through requiring rubygems/installer_test_case

env_shebang[W]

Available through requiring rubygems/installer_test_case

force[W]

Available through requiring rubygems/installer_test_case

format[W]

Available through requiring rubygems/installer_test_case

format_executable[W]

Available through requiring rubygems/installer_test_case

gem[R]

Filename of the gem being installed.

gem_dir[W]

Available through requiring rubygems/installer_test_case

gem_home[RW]

The gem repository the gem will be installed into

ignore_dependencies[W]

Available through requiring rubygems/installer_test_case

options[R]

The options passed when the Gem::Installer was instantiated.

package[R]

The gem package instance.

Public Class Methods

               # File rubygems/installer.rb, line 109
def self.at(path, options = {})
  security_policy = options[:security_policy]
  package = Gem::Package.new path, security_policy

end

for_spec(spec, options = {}) click to toggle source

Construct an installer object for an ephemeral gem (one where we don't actually have a .gem file, just a spec)

 
               # File rubygems/installer.rb, line 149
def self.for_spec(spec, options = {})
  # FIXME: we should have a real Package class for this
  new FakePackage.new(spec), options
end

new(package, options={}) click to toggle source

Constructs an Installer instance that will install the gem at package which can either be a path or an instance of Gem::Package. options is a Hash with the following keys:

:bin_dir: Where to put a bin wrapper if needed.
:development: Whether or not development dependencies should be installed.
:env_shebang: Use /usr/bin/env in bin wrappers.
:force: Overrides all version checks and security policy checks, except for a signed-gems-only policy.
:format_executable: Format the executable the same as the Ruby executable. If your Ruby is ruby18, foo_exec will be installed as foo_exec18.
:ignore_dependencies: Don't raise if a dependency is missing.
:install_dir: The directory to install the gem into.
:security_policy: Use the specified security policy. See Gem::Security
:user_install: Indicate that the gem should be unpacked into the users personal gem directory.
:only_install_dir: Only validate dependencies against what is in the install_dir
:wrappers: Install wrappers if true, symlinks if false.
:build_args: An Array of arguments to pass to the extension builder process. If not set, then Gem::Command.build_args is used
:post_install_message: Print gem post install message if true
