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
)
RubyGems will load plugins in the latest version of each installed gem 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 installed at a special location and loaded on boot.
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 503 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.

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 post-install hook that will be passed an Gem::Installer
instance when Gem::Installer#install
is called

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 rubygems.rb, line 1221 def register_default_spec(spec) extended_require_paths = spec.require_paths.map {|f| f + "/" } new_format = extended_require_paths.any? {|path| spec.files.any? {|f| f.start_with? path } } if new_format prefix_group = extended_require_paths.join("|") prefix_pattern = /^(#{prefix_group})/ end spec.files.each do |file| if new_format file = file.sub(prefix_pattern, "") next unless $~ end spec.activate if already_loaded?(file) @path_to_default_spec_map[file] = spec @path_to_default_spec_map[file.sub(suffix_regexp, "")] = spec end end

# File rubygems.rb, line 836 def self.ruby if @ruby.nil? @ruby = RbConfig.ruby @ruby = "\"#{@ruby}\"" if @ruby =~ /\s/ end @ruby end
Allows setting path to Ruby. This method is available when requiring 'rubygems/test_case'
# File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 74 def self.ruby=(ruby) @ruby = ruby end
Returns a String containing the API compatibility version of Ruby
# File rubygems.rb, line 849 def self.ruby_api_version @ruby_api_version ||= RbConfig::CONFIG['ruby_version'].dup end

A Gem::Version
for the currently running Ruby.
# File rubygems.rb, line 894 def self.ruby_version return @ruby_version if defined? @ruby_version version = RUBY_VERSION.dup if defined?(RUBY_PATCHLEVEL) && RUBY_PATCHLEVEL != -1 version << ".#{RUBY_PATCHLEVEL}" elsif defined?(RUBY_DESCRIPTION) if RUBY_ENGINE == "ruby" desc = RUBY_DESCRIPTION[/\Aruby #{Regexp.quote(RUBY_VERSION)}([^ ]+) /, 1] else desc = RUBY_DESCRIPTION[/\A#{RUBY_ENGINE} #{Regexp.quote(RUBY_ENGINE_VERSION)} \(#{RUBY_VERSION}([^ ]+)\) /, 1] end version << ".#{desc}" if desc end @ruby_version = Gem::Version.new version end
A Gem::Version
for the currently running RubyGems
# File rubygems.rb, line 915 def self.rubygems_version return @rubygems_version if defined? @rubygems_version @rubygems_version = Gem::Version.new Gem::VERSION end
Allows setting the gem path searcher. This method is available when requiring 'rubygems/test_case'
# File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 58 def self.searcher=(searcher) @searcher = searcher end
Returns the value of Gem.source_date_epoch_string
, as a Time object.
This is used throughout RubyGems for enabling reproducible builds.
# File rubygems.rb, line 1184 def self.source_date_epoch Time.at(self.source_date_epoch_string.to_i).utc.freeze end
If the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is set, returns it's value. Otherwise, returns the time that `Gem.source_date_epoch_string` was first called in the same format as SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
NOTE(@duckinator): The implementation is a tad weird because we want to:
1. Make builds reproducible by default, by having this function always return the same result during a given run. 2. Allow changing ENV['SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH'] at runtime, since multiple tests that set this variable will be run in a single process.
If you simplify this function and a lot of tests fail, that is likely due to #2 above.
Details on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH: reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
# File rubygems.rb, line 1165 def self.source_date_epoch_string # The value used if $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not set. @default_source_date_epoch ||= Time.now.to_i.to_s specified_epoch = ENV["SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH"] # If it's empty or just whitespace, treat it like it wasn't set at all. specified_epoch = nil if !specified_epoch.nil? && specified_epoch.strip.empty? epoch = specified_epoch || @default_source_date_epoch epoch.strip end
Returns an Array of sources to fetch remote gems from. Uses default_sources
if the sources list is empty.
# File rubygems.rb, line 924 def self.sources source_list = configuration.sources || default_sources @sources ||= Gem::SourceList.from(source_list) end
Need to be able to set the sources without calling Gem.sources
.replace since that would cause an infinite loop.
DOC: This comment is not documentation about the method itself, it's more of a code comment about the implementation.
# File rubygems.rb, line 936 def self.sources=(new_sources) if !new_sources @sources = nil else @sources = Gem::SourceList.from(new_sources) end end
# File rubygems.rb, line 427 def self.spec_cache_dir paths.spec_cache_dir end
Glob pattern for require-able path suffixes.
# File rubygems.rb, line 947 def self.suffix_pattern @suffix_pattern ||= "{#{suffixes.join(',')}}" end
Regexp for require-able path suffixes.
# File rubygems.rb, line 954 def self.suffix_regexp @suffix_regexp ||= /#{Regexp.union(suffixes)}\z/ end
Suffixes for require-able paths.
# File rubygems.rb, line 975 def self.suffixes @suffixes ||= ['', '.rb', *%w[DLEXT DLEXT2].map do |key| val = RbConfig::CONFIG[key] next unless val and not val.empty? ".#{val}" end, ].compact.uniq end
Prints the amount of time the supplied block takes to run using the debug UI output.
# File rubygems.rb, line 990 def self.time(msg, width = 0, display = Gem.configuration.verbose) now = Time.now value = yield elapsed = Time.now - now ui.say "%2$*1$s: %3$3.3fs" % [-width, msg, elapsed] if display value 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 rubygems.rb, line 203 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 1005 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.
# File rubygems.rb, line 1096 def self.use_gemdeps(path = nil) raise_exception = path path ||= ENV['RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS'] return unless path path = path.dup if path == "-" Gem::Util.traverse_parents Dir.pwd do |directory| dep_file = GEM_DEP_FILES.find {|f| File.file?(f) } next unless dep_file path = File.join directory, dep_file break end end path.tap(&Gem::UNTAINT) unless File.file? path return unless raise_exception raise ArgumentError, "Unable to find gem dependencies file at #{path}" end ENV["BUNDLE_GEMFILE"] ||= File.expand_path(path) require 'rubygems/user_interaction' Gem::DefaultUserInteraction.use_ui(ui) do require "bundler" begin Bundler.ui.silence do @gemdeps = Bundler.setup end ensure Gem::DefaultUserInteraction.ui.close end @gemdeps.requested_specs.map(&:to_spec).sort_by(&:name) end rescue => e case e when Gem::LoadError, Gem::UnsatisfiableDependencyError, (defined?(Bundler::GemNotFound) ?

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 1015 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 116 def self.user_dir gem_dir = File.join(Gem.user_home, ".gem") gem_dir = File.join(Gem.data_home, "gem") unless File.exist?(gem_dir) parts = [gem_dir, 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/defaults.rb, line 109 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 66 def self.win_platform=(val) @@win_platform = val end
Is this a windows platform?
# File rubygems.rb, line 1026 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 815 def self.write_binary(path, data) File.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 File.open(path, 'wb') do |io| io.write data end end end
