Instance Method Details

#alien(gems = [])

Checks the gem directory for the following potential inconsistencies/problems:

  • Checksum gem itself

  • For each file in each gem, check consistency of installed versions

  • Check for files that aren't part of the gem but are in the gems directory

  • 1 cache - 1 spec - 1 directory.

returns a hash of Validator::ErrorData objects, keyed on the problem gem's name.
