Used to raise parsing and loading errors
Potentially raised when a specification is validated.
Raised when a gem dependencies file specifies a ruby version that does not match the current version.
Raised by Gem::Validator
when something is not right in a gem.
Raised by Gem::WebauthnListener when an error occurs during security device verification.
Raised by Resolver when a dependency requests a gem for which there is no spec.
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.
Create a package based upon a Gem::Specification
. Gem
packages, as well as zip files and tar/gzipped packages can be produced by this task.
In addition to the Rake targets generated by Rake::PackageTask, a Gem::PackageTask
will also generate the following tasks:
Create a RubyGems package with the given name and version.
Example using a Gem::Specification
:
require 'rubygems' require 'rubygems/package_task' spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.summary = "Ruby based make-like utility." s.name = 'rake' s.version = PKG_VERSION s.requirements << 'none' s.files = PKG_FILES s.description = <<-EOF Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby. Tasks and dependencies are specified in standard Ruby syntax. EOF end Gem::PackageTask.new(spec) do |pkg| pkg.need_zip = true pkg.need_tar = true end
Gem::PathSupport
facilitates the GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH environment settings to the rest of RubyGems.
Available list of platforms for targeting Gem
installations.
See ‘gem help platform` for information on platform matching.
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.licenses = ['MIT'] 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' s.metadata = { "source_code_uri" => "https://github.com/example/example" } end
Starting in RubyGems 2.0, a Specification
can hold arbitrary metadata. See metadata
for restrictions on the format and size of metadata items you may add to a specification.
Gem::StubSpecification
reads the stub: line from the gemspec. This prevents us having to eval the entire gemspec in order to find out certain information.
A TargetConfig is a wrapper around an RbConfig
object that provides a consistent interface for querying configuration for *deployment target platform*, where the gem being installed is intended to run on.
The TargetConfig is typically created from the RbConfig
of the running Ruby process, but can also be created from an RbConfig
file on disk for cross- compiling gems.
An Uninstaller
.
The uninstaller fires pre and post uninstall 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_uninstall
and Gem.post_uninstall
for details.
The UriFormatter
handles URIs from user-input and escaping.
uf = Gem::UriFormatter.new 'example.com' p uf.normalize #=> 'http://example.com'
Explains syntax errors based on their source
example:
source = "def foo; puts 'lol'" # Note missing end explain ExplainSyntax.new( code_lines: CodeLine.from_source(source) ).call explain.errors.first # => "Unmatched keyword, missing `end' ?"
When the error cannot be determined by lexical counting then the parser is run against the input and the raw errors are returned.
Example:
source = "1 * " # Note missing a second number explain ExplainSyntax.new( code_lines: CodeLine.from_source(source) ).call explain.errors.first # => "syntax error, unexpected end-of-input"
Converts a SyntaxError
message to a path
Handles the case where the filename has a colon in it such as on a windows file system: github.com/ruby/syntax_suggest/issues/111
Example:
message = "/tmp/scratch:2:in `require_relative': /private/tmp/bad.rb:1: syntax error, unexpected `end' (SyntaxError)" puts PathnameFromMessage.new(message).call.name # => "/tmp/scratch.rb"
The default port for LDAPS
URIs is 636, and the scheme is ‘ldaps:’ rather than ‘ldap:’. Other than that, LDAPS
URIs are identical to LDAP
URIs; see URI::LDAP
.
AbstractSyntaxTree
provides methods to parse Ruby code into abstract syntax trees. The nodes in the tree are instances of RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree::Node
.
This module is MRI specific as it exposes implementation details of the MRI abstract syntax tree.
This module is experimental and its API is not stable, therefore it might change without notice. As examples, the order of children nodes is not guaranteed, the number of children nodes might change, there is no way to access children nodes by name, etc.
If you are looking for a stable API or an API working under multiple Ruby implementations, consider using the prism gem, which is the official Ruby API to parse Ruby code.
