This object is passed to the various Prism.* methods that accept the ‘scopes` option as an element of the list. It defines both the local variables visible at that scope as well as the forwarding parameters available at that scope.

Indicates a failure to resolve a name or address.

Indicates a timeout resolving a name or address.

The command manager registers and installs all the individual sub-commands supported by the gem command.

Extra commands can be provided by writing a rubygems_plugin.rb file in an installed gem. You should register your command against the Gem::CommandManager instance, like this:

# file rubygems_plugin.rb
require 'rubygems/command_manager'

Gem::CommandManager.instance.register_command :edit

You should put the implementation of your command in rubygems/commands.

# file rubygems/commands/edit_command.rb
class Gem::Commands::EditCommand < Gem::Command
  # ...
end

See Gem::Command for instructions on writing gem commands.

Gem::ConfigFile RubyGems options and gem command options from gemrc.

gemrc is a YAML file that uses strings to match gem command arguments and symbols to match RubyGems options.

Gem command arguments use a String key that matches the command name and allow you to specify default arguments:

install: --no-rdoc --no-ri
update: --no-rdoc --no-ri

You can use gem: to set default arguments for all commands.

RubyGems options use symbol keys. Valid options are:

:backtrace

See backtrace

:sources

Sets Gem::sources

:verbose

See verbose

:concurrent_downloads

See concurrent_downloads

gemrc files may exist in various locations and are read and merged in the following order:

• system wide (/etc/gemrc)

• per user (~/.gemrc)

• per environment (gemrc files listed in the GEMRC environment variable)

Installs a gem along with all its dependencies from local and remote gems.

Raised when RubyGems is unable to load or activate a gem. Contains the name and version requirements of the gem that either conflicts with already activated gems or that RubyGems is otherwise unable to activate.

Raised when trying to activate a gem, and that gem does not exist on the system. Instead of rescuing from this class, make sure to rescue from the superclass Gem::LoadError to catch all types of load errors.

Raised when removing a gem with the uninstall command fails

Signals that a remote operation cannot be conducted, probably due to not being connected (or just not finding host).

Run an instance of the gem program.

Gem::GemRunner is only intended for internal use by RubyGems itself. It does not form any public API and may change at any time for any reason.

If you would like to duplicate functionality of ‘gem` commands, use the classes they call directly.

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.

Example using a Gem::Package

Builds a .gem file given a Gem::Specification. A .gem file is a tarball which contains a data.tar.gz, metadata.gz, checksums.yaml.gz and possibly signatures.

require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/package'

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::Package.build spec

Reads a .gem file.

require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/package'

the_gem = Gem::Package.new(path_to_dot_gem)
the_gem.contents # get the files in the gem
the_gem.extract_files destination_directory # extract the gem into a directory
the_gem.spec # get the spec out of the gem
the_gem.verify # check the gem is OK (contains valid gem specification, contains a not corrupt contents archive)

files are the files in the .gem tar file, not the Ruby files in the gem extract_files and contents automatically call verify

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:

“package_dir/name-version.gem”

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
