Instance Method Details
gem(gem_name, *requirements) (private)
Use #gem
to activate a specific version of gem_name
.
requirements
is a list of version requirements that the specified gem must match, most commonly “= example.version.number”. See ::Gem::Requirement
for how to specify a version requirement.
If you will be activating the latest version of a gem, there is no need to call #gem
, #require will do the right thing for you.
#gem
returns true if the gem was activated, otherwise false. If the gem could not be found, didn’t match the version requirements, or a different version was already activated, an exception will be raised.
#gem
should be called before any require statements (otherwise RubyGems may load a conflicting library version).
#gem
only loads prerelease versions when prerelease requirements
are given:
gem 'rake', '>= 1.1.a', '< 2'
In older RubyGems versions, the environment variable GEM_SKIP could be used to skip activation of specified gems, for example to test out changes that haven’t been installed yet. Now RubyGems defers to -I and the RUBYLIB environment variable to skip activation of a gem.
Example:
GEM_SKIP=libA:libB ruby -I../libA -I../libB ./mycode.rb
# File 'lib/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb', line 36
def gem(gem_name, *requirements) # :doc: skip_list = (ENV["GEM_SKIP"] || "").split(/:/) raise Gem::LoadError, "skipping #{gem_name}" if skip_list.include? gem_name if gem_name.kind_of? Gem::Dependency unless Gem::Deprecate.skip warn "#{Gem.location_of_caller.join ':'}:Warning: Kernel.gem no longer "\ "accepts a Gem::Dependency object, please pass the name "\ "and requirements directly" end requirements = gem_name.requirement gem_name = gem_name.name end dep = Gem::Dependency.new(gem_name, *requirements) loaded = Gem.loaded_specs[gem_name] return false if loaded && dep.matches_spec?(loaded) spec = dep.to_spec if spec if Gem::LOADED_SPECS_MUTEX.owned? spec.activate else Gem::LOADED_SPECS_MUTEX.synchronize { spec.activate } end end end
gem_original_require (private)
# File 'lib/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb', line 18
alias gem_original_require require
require(path) (private)
When RubyGems is required, #require
is replaced with our own which is capable of loading gems on demand.
When you call require 'x'
, this is what happens:
-
If the file can be loaded from the existing Ruby loadpath, it is.
-
Otherwise, installed gems are searched for a file that matches. If it’s found in gem ‘y’, that gem is activated (added to the loadpath).
The normal require
functionality of returning false if that file has already been loaded is preserved.
