Is is ok to remove a gemspec from the dependency list?

If removing the gemspec creates breaks a currently ok dependency, then it is NOT ok to remove the gemspec.

Default options for the gem install command.

Sends a MOVE request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.

Sends a MOVE command to move the specified message(s) to the end of the specified destination mailbox. The set parameter is a number, an array of numbers, or a Range object. The number is a message sequence number. The IMAP MOVE extension is described in [RFC-6851].

Moves tuple to port.

What does this dependency require?

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'

Set requirements to req, ensuring it is an array. Don’t use this, push onto the array instead.

Is remote fetching enabled?

Returns the value of the given instance variable, or nil if the instance variable is not set. The @ part of the variable name should be included for regular instance variables. Throws a NameError exception if the supplied symbol is not valid as an instance variable name. String arguments are converted to symbols.

class Fred
  def initialize(p1, p2)
    @a, @b = p1, p2
  end
end
fred = Fred.new('cat', 99)
fred.instance_variable_get(:@a)    #=> "cat"
fred.instance_variable_get("@b")   #=> 99

Sets the instance variable named by symbol to the given object, thereby frustrating the efforts of the class’s author to attempt to provide proper encapsulation. The variable does not have to exist prior to this call. If the instance variable name is passed as a string, that string is converted to a symbol.

class Fred
  def initialize(p1, p2)
    @a, @b = p1, p2
  end
end
fred = Fred.new('cat', 99)
fred.instance_variable_set(:@a, 'dog')   #=> "dog"
fred.instance_variable_set(:@c, 'cat')   #=> "cat"
fred.inspect                             #=> "#<Fred:0x401b3da8 @a=\"dog\", @b=99, @c=\"cat\">"

Returns true if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String arguments are converted to symbols.

class Fred
  def initialize(p1, p2)
    @a, @b = p1, p2
  end
end
fred = Fred.new('cat', 99)
fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a)    #=> true
fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b")   #=> true
fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c")   #=> false

Returns a list of the public instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false, the methods of any ancestors are not included.

Returns a list of the protected instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false, the methods of any ancestors are not included.

Returns a list of the private instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false, the methods of any ancestors are not included.

module Mod
  def method1()  end
  private :method1
  def method2()  end
end
Mod.instance_methods           #=> [:method2]
Mod.private_instance_methods   #=> [:method1]

Similar to instance_method, searches public method only.

Raises PStore::Error if the calling code is not in a PStore#transaction or if the code is in a read-only PStore#transaction.

Returns the status of the global “abort on exception” condition.

The default is false.

When set to true, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.

Can also be specified by the global $DEBUG flag or command line option -d.

See also ::abort_on_exception=.

There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception.

When set to true, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread. Returns the new state.

Thread.abort_on_exception = true
t1 = Thread.new do
  puts  "In new thread"
  raise "Exception from thread"
end
sleep(1)
puts "not reached"

This will produce:

In new thread
prog.rb:4: Exception from thread (RuntimeError)
 from prog.rb:2:in `initialize'
 from prog.rb:2:in `new'
 from prog.rb:2

See also ::abort_on_exception.

There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception=.

Returns the status of the thread-local “abort on exception” condition for this thr.

The default is false.

See also abort_on_exception=.

There is also a class level method to set this for all threads, see ::abort_on_exception.

When set to true, if this thr is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.

See also abort_on_exception.

There is also a class level method to set this for all threads, see ::abort_on_exception=.

Starts tracing object allocations from the ObjectSpace extension module.

For example:

require 'objspace'

class C
  include ObjectSpace

  def foo
    trace_object_allocations do
      obj = Object.new
      p "#{allocation_sourcefile(obj)}:#{allocation_sourceline(obj)}"
    end
  end
end

C.new.foo #=> "objtrace.rb:8"

This example has included the ObjectSpace module to make it easier to read, but you can also use the ::trace_object_allocations notation (recommended).

Note that this feature introduces a huge performance decrease and huge memory consumption.

Sets whether or not to ignore case on completion.

Returns true if completion ignores case. If no, returns false.

NOTE: Returns the same object that is specified by Readline.completion_case_fold= method.

require "readline"

Readline.completion_case_fold = "This is a String."
p Readline.completion_case_fold # => "This is a String."
