Gem::UninstallError

Raised when removing a gem with the uninstall command fails

Gem::InstallError

No documentation available

Gem::InvalidSpecificationException

Potentially raised when a specification is validated.

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.

Gem::StubSpecification

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.

Gem::TargetRbConfig

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.

Gem::Uninstaller

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.

SyntaxSuggest::CodeFrontier

There are three main phases in the algorithm:

  1. Sanitize/format input source

  2. Search for invalid blocks

  3. Format invalid blocks into something meaningful

The Code frontier is a critical part of the second step

## Knowing where we’ve been

Once a code block is generated it is added onto the frontier. Then it will be sorted by indentation and frontier can be filtered. Large blocks that fully enclose a smaller block will cause the smaller block to be evicted.

CodeFrontier#<<(block) # Adds block to frontier
CodeFrontier#pop # Removes block from frontier

## Knowing where we can go

Internally the frontier keeps track of “unvisited” lines which are exposed via ‘next_indent_line` when called, this method returns, a line of code with the highest indentation.

The returned line of code can be used to build a CodeBlock and then that code block is added back to the frontier. Then, the lines are removed from the “unvisited” so we don’t double-create the same block.

CodeFrontier#next_indent_line # Shows next line
CodeFrontier#register_indent_block(block) # Removes lines from unvisited

## Knowing when to stop

The frontier knows how to check the entire document for a syntax error. When blocks are added onto the frontier, they’re removed from the document. When all code containing syntax errors has been added to the frontier, the document will be parsable without a syntax error and the search can stop.

CodeFrontier#holds_all_syntax_errors? # Returns true when frontier holds all syntax errors

## Filtering false positives

Once the search is completed, the frontier may have multiple blocks that do not contain the syntax error. To limit the result to the smallest subset of “invalid blocks” call:

CodeFrontier#detect_invalid_blocks

URI::InvalidComponentError

Not a URI component.

Digest::Instance

This module provides instance methods for a digest implementation object to calculate message digest values.

CGI::QueryExtension

Mixin module that provides the following:

  1. Access to the CGI environment variables as methods. See documentation to the CGI class for a list of these variables. The methods are exposed by removing the leading HTTP_ (if it exists) and downcasing the name. For example, auth_type will return the environment variable AUTH_TYPE, and accept will return the value for HTTP_ACCEPT.

  2. Access to cookies, including the cookies attribute.

  3. Access to parameters, including the params attribute, and overloading [] to perform parameter value lookup by key.

  4. The initialize_query method, for initializing the above mechanisms, handling multipart forms, and allowing the class to be used in “offline” mode.

CGI::HtmlExtension

Mixin module providing HTML generation methods.

For example,

cgi.a("http://www.example.com") { "Example" }
  # => "<A HREF=\"http://www.example.com\">Example</A>"

Modules Html3, Html4, etc., contain more basic HTML-generation methods (#title, #h1, etc.).

See class CGI for a detailed example.

MakeMakefile::RbConfig

Net::HTTPExceptions

Net::HTTP exception class. You cannot use Net::HTTPExceptions directly; instead, you must use its subclasses.

OptionParser::Completion

Keyword completion module. This allows partial arguments to be specified and resolved against a list of acceptable values.

Prism::Translation

This module is responsible for converting the prism syntax tree into other syntax trees.

Gem::UpdateSuggestion

Mixin methods for Gem::Command to promote available RubyGems update

Complex

A Complex object houses a pair of values, given when the object is created as either rectangular coordinates or polar coordinates.

Rectangular Coordinates

The rectangular coordinates of a complex number are called the real and imaginary parts; see Complex number definition.

You can create a Complex object from rectangular coordinates with:

Note that each of the stored parts may be a an instance one of the classes Complex, Float, Integer, or Rational; they may be retrieved:

The corresponding (computed) polar values may be retrieved:

Polar Coordinates

The polar coordinates of a complex number are called the absolute and argument parts; see Complex polar plane.

In this class, the argument part in expressed radians (not degrees).

You can create a Complex object from polar coordinates with:

Note that each of the stored parts may be a an instance one of the classes Complex, Float, Integer, or Rational; they may be retrieved:

The corresponding (computed) rectangular values may be retrieved:

What’s Here

First, what’s elsewhere:

Here, class Complex has methods for:

Creating Complex Objects

Querying

Comparing

Converting

Performing Complex Arithmetic

Working with JSON

These methods are provided by the JSON gem. To make these methods available:

require 'json/add/complex'

String

A String object has an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing text or binary data. A String object may be created using String::new or as literals.

String objects differ from Symbol objects in that Symbol objects are designed to be used as identifiers, instead of text or data.

You can create a String object explicitly with:

You can convert certain objects to Strings with:

Some String methods modify self. Typically, a method whose name ends with ! modifies self and returns self; often, a similarly named method (without the !) returns a new string.

In general, if both bang and non-bang versions of a method exist, the bang method mutates and the non-bang method does not. However, a method without a bang can also mutate, such as String#replace.

Substitution Methods

These methods perform substitutions:

Each of these methods takes:

The examples in this section mostly use the String#sub and String#gsub methods; the principles illustrated apply to all four substitution methods.

Argument pattern

Argument pattern is commonly a regular expression:

s = 'hello'
s.sub(/[aeiou]/, '*') # => "h*llo"
s.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '*') # => "h*ll*"
s.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '')  # => "hll"
s.sub(/ell/, 'al')     # => "halo"
s.gsub(/xyzzy/, '*')   # => "hello"
'THX1138'.gsub(/\d+/, '00') # => "THX00"

When pattern is a string, all its characters are treated as ordinary characters (not as Regexp special characters):

'THX1138'.gsub('\d+', '00') # => "THX1138"

String replacement

If replacement is a string, that string determines the replacing string that is substituted for the matched text.

Each of the examples above uses a simple string as the replacing string.

String replacement may contain back-references to the pattern’s captures:

See Regexp for details.

Note that within the string replacement, a character combination such as $& is treated as ordinary text, not as a special match variable. However, you may refer to some special match variables using these combinations:

See Regexp for details.

Note that \\ is interpreted as an escape, i.e., a single backslash.

Note also that a string literal consumes backslashes. See string literal for details about string literals.

A back-reference is typically preceded by an additional backslash. For example, if you want to write a back-reference \& in replacement with a double-quoted string literal, you need to write "..\\&..".

If you want to write a non-back-reference string \& in replacement, you need to first escape the backslash to prevent this method from interpreting it as a back-reference, and then you need to escape the backslashes again to prevent a string literal from consuming them: "..\\\\&..".

You may want to use the block form to avoid excessive backslashes.

Hash replacement

If the argument replacement is a hash, and pattern matches one of its keys, the replacing string is the value for that key:

h = {'foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 'bat'}
'food'.sub('foo', h) # => "bard"

Note that a symbol key does not match:

h = {foo: 'bar', baz: 'bat'}
'food'.sub('foo', h) # => "d"

Block

In the block form, the current match string is passed to the block; the block’s return value becomes the replacing string:

s = '@'
'1234'.gsub(/\d/) { |match| s.succ! } # => "ABCD"

Special match variables such as $1, $2, $`, $&, and $' are set appropriately.

Whitespace in Strings

In the class String, whitespace is defined as a contiguous sequence of characters consisting of any mixture of the following:

Whitespace is relevant for the following methods:

String Slices

A slice of a string is a substring selected by certain criteria.

These instance methods utilize slicing:

Each of the above methods takes arguments that determine the slice to be copied or replaced.

The arguments have several forms. For a string string, the forms are:

string[index]

When a non-negative integer argument index is given, the slice is the 1-character substring found in self at character offset index:

'bar'[0]      # => "b"
'bar'[2]      # => "r"
'bar'[20]     # => nil
'тест'[2]     # => "с"
'こんにちは'[4] # => "は"

When a negative integer index is given, the slice begins at the offset given by counting backward from the end of self:

'bar'[-3]      # => "b"
'bar'[-1]      # => "r"
'bar'[-20]     # => nil

string[start, length]

When non-negative integer arguments start and length are given, the slice begins at character offset start, if it exists, and continues for length characters, if available:

'foo'[0, 2]      # => "fo"
'тест'[1, 2]     # => "ес"
'こんにちは'[2, 2] # => "にち"
# Zero length.
'foo'[2, 0]      # => ""
# Length not entirely available.
'foo'[1, 200]    # => "oo"
# Start out of range.
'foo'[4, 2]      # => nil

Special case: if start equals the length of self, the slice is a new empty string:

'foo'[3, 2]    # => ""
'foo'[3, 200]  # => ""

When a negative start and non-negative length are given, the slice begins by counting backward from the end of self, and continues for length characters, if available:

'foo'[-2, 2]     # => "oo"
'foo'[-2, 200]   # => "oo"
# Start out of range.
'foo'[-4, 2]     # => nil

When a negative length is given, there is no slice:

'foo'[1, -1]   # => nil
'foo'[-2, -1]  # => nil

string[range]

When a Range argument range is given, it creates a substring of string using the indices in range. The slice is then determined as above:

'foo'[0..1]     # => "fo"
'foo'[0, 2]     # => "fo"

'foo'[2...2]    # => ""
'foo'[2, 0]     # => ""

'foo'[1..200]   # => "oo"
'foo'[1, 200]   # => "oo"

'foo'[4..5]     # => nil
'foo'[4, 2]     # => nil

'foo'[-4..-3]   # => nil
'foo'[-4, 2]    # => nil

'foo'[3..4]     # => ""
'foo'[3, 2]     # => ""

'foo'[-2..-1]   # => "oo"
'foo'[-2, 2]    # => "oo"

'foo'[-2..197]  # => "oo"
'foo'[-2, 200]  # => "oo"

string[regexp, capture = 0]

When the Regexp argument regexp is given, and the capture argument is 0, the slice is the first matching substring found in self:

'foo'[/o/]                # => "o"
'foo'[/x/]                # => nil
s = 'hello there'
s[/[aeiou](.)\1/]        # => "ell"
s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 0]     # => "ell"

If the argument capture is provided and not 0, it should be either a capture group index (integer) or a capture group name (String or Symbol); the slice is the specified capture (see Groups at Regexp and Captures):

s = 'hello there'
s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 1] # => "l"
s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, "non_vowel"] # => "l"
s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, :vowel]      # => "e"

If an invalid capture group index is given, there is no slice. If an invalid capture group name is given, IndexError is raised.

string[substring]

When the single String argument substring is given, it returns the substring from self if found, otherwise nil:

'foo'['oo'] # => "oo"
'foo'['xx'] # => nil

Encoding

An Encoding instance represents a character encoding usable in Ruby. It is defined as a constant under the Encoding namespace. It has a name and, optionally, aliases:

Encoding::US_ASCII.name  # => "US-ASCII"
Encoding::US_ASCII.names # => ["US-ASCII", "ASCII", "ANSI_X3.4-1968", "646"]

A Ruby method that accepts an encoding as an argument will accept:

These are equivalent:

'foo'.encode(Encoding::US_ASCII) # Encoding object.
'foo'.encode('US-ASCII')         # Encoding name.
'foo'.encode('ASCII')            # Encoding alias.

For a full discussion of encodings and their uses, see the Encodings document.

Encoding::ASCII_8BIT is a special-purpose encoding that is usually used for a string of bytes, not a string of characters. But as the name indicates, its characters in the ASCII range are considered as ASCII characters. This is useful when you use other ASCII-compatible encodings.

Exception

Class Exception and its subclasses are used to indicate that an error or other problem has occurred, and may need to be handled. See Exceptions.

An Exception object carries certain information:

Built-In Exception Class Hierarchy

The hierarchy of built-in subclasses of class Exception:

SignalException

Raised when a signal is received.

begin
  Process.kill('HUP',Process.pid)
  sleep # wait for receiver to handle signal sent by Process.kill
rescue SignalException => e
  puts "received Exception #{e}"
end

produces:

received Exception SIGHUP

StandardError

The most standard error types are subclasses of StandardError. A rescue clause without an explicit Exception class will rescue all StandardErrors (and only those).

def foo
  raise "Oups"
end
foo rescue "Hello"   #=> "Hello"

On the other hand:

require 'does/not/exist' rescue "Hi"

raises the exception:

LoadError: no such file to load -- does/not/exist

EncodingError

EncodingError is the base class for encoding errors.

Rational

A rational number can be represented as a pair of integer numbers: a/b (b>0), where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. Integer a equals rational a/1 mathematically.

You can create a Rational object explicitly with:

You can convert certain objects to Rationals with:

Examples

Rational(1)      #=> (1/1)
Rational(2, 3)   #=> (2/3)
Rational(4, -6)  #=> (-2/3) # Reduced.
3.to_r           #=> (3/1)
2/3r             #=> (2/3)

You can also create rational objects from floating-point numbers or strings.

Rational(0.3)    #=> (5404319552844595/18014398509481984)
Rational('0.3')  #=> (3/10)
Rational('2/3')  #=> (2/3)

0.3.to_r         #=> (5404319552844595/18014398509481984)
'0.3'.to_r       #=> (3/10)
'2/3'.to_r       #=> (2/3)
0.3.rationalize  #=> (3/10)

A rational object is an exact number, which helps you to write programs without any rounding errors.

10.times.inject(0) {|t| t + 0.1 }              #=> 0.9999999999999999
10.times.inject(0) {|t| t + Rational('0.1') }  #=> (1/1)

However, when an expression includes an inexact component (numerical value or operation), it will produce an inexact result.

Rational(10) / 3   #=> (10/3)
Rational(10) / 3.0 #=> 3.3333333333333335

Rational(-8) ** Rational(1, 3)
                   #=> (1.0000000000000002+1.7320508075688772i)
