Module: Gem
Overview
RubyGems is the Ruby standard for publishing and managing third party libraries.
For user documentation, see:
- 
gem helpandgem help [command]
For gem developer documentation see:

Versionfor version dependency notes

Rubys API (also available from gem server)
RubyGems Plugins
RubyGems will load plugins in the latest version of each installed gem or $LOAD_PATH.  Plugins must be named ‘rubygems_plugin’ (.rb, .so, etc) and placed at the root of your gem’s #require_path.  Plugins are installed at a special location and loaded on boot.
For an example plugin, see the Graph gem which adds a gem graph command.
RubyGems Defaults, Packaging
RubyGems defaults are stored in lib/rubygems/defaults.rb. If you’re packaging RubyGems or implementing Ruby you can change RubyGems’ defaults.
For RubyGems packagers, provide lib/rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb and override any defaults from lib/rubygems/defaults.rb.
For Ruby implementers, provide lib/rubygems/defaults/#RUBY_ENGINE.rb and override any defaults from lib/rubygems/defaults.rb.
If you need RubyGems to perform extra work on install or uninstall, your defaults override file can set pre/post install and uninstall hooks. See .pre_install, .pre_uninstall, .post_install, .post_uninstall.
Bugs
You can submit bugs to the Rubys bug tracker on GitHub

.register_default_spec(spec)
Register a ::Gem::Specification for default gem.
Two formats for the specification are supported:
- 
MRI 2.0 style, where spec.files contains unprefixed require names. The spec’s filenames will be registered as-is. 
- 
New style, where spec.files contains files prefixed with paths from spec.require_paths. The prefixes are stripped before registering the spec’s filenames. Unprefixed files are omitted. 
# File 'lib/rubygems.rb', line 1240

[ GitHub ].source_date_epoch
Returns the value of .source_date_epoch_string, as a Time object.
This is used throughout RubyGems for enabling reproducible builds.
# File 'lib/rubygems.rb', line 1195
def self.source_date_epoch Time.at(source_date_epoch_string.to_i).utc.freeze end
.source_date_epoch_string
If the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is set, returns it’s value. Otherwise, returns DEFAULT_SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH as a string.
NOTE(@duckinator): The implementation is a tad weird because we want to:
1. Make builds reproducible by default, by having this function always
   return the same result during a given run.
2. Allow changing ENV['SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH'] at runtime, since multiple
   tests that set this variable will be run in a single process.If you simplify this function and a lot of tests fail, that is likely due to #2 above.
Details on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH: reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
# File 'lib/rubygems.rb', line 1179
def self.source_date_epoch_string specified_epoch = ENV["SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH"] # If it's empty or just whitespace, treat it like it wasn't set at all. specified_epoch = nil if !specified_epoch.nil? && specified_epoch.strip.empty? epoch = specified_epoch || DEFAULT_SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.to_s epoch.strip end

.try_activate(path)
Try to activate a gem containing .path. Returns true if activation succeeded or wasn’t needed because it was already activated. Returns false if it can’t find the path in a gem.
# File 'lib/rubygems.rb', line 197
def self.try_activate(path) # finds the _latest_ version... regardless of loaded specs and their deps # if another gem had a requirement that would mean we shouldn't # activate the latest version, then either it would already be activated # or if it was ambiguous (and thus unresolved) the code in our custom # require will try to activate the more specific version. spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_path path return false unless spec return true if spec.activated? begin spec.activate rescue Gem::LoadError => e # this could fail due to gem dep collisions, go lax spec_by_name = Gem::Specification.find_by_name(spec.name) if spec_by_name.nil? raise e else spec_by_name.activate end end true end

URI(uri) (mod_func)
Returns a Gem::URI object derived from the given uri, which may be a Gem::URI string or an existing Gem::URI object:
# Returns a new Gem::URI.
uri = Gem::URI('http://github.com/ruby/ruby')
# => #<Gem::URI::HTTP http://github.com/ruby/ruby>
# Returns the given Gem::URI.
Gem::URI(uri)
# => #<Gem::URI::HTTP http://github.com/ruby/ruby>.use_gemdeps(path = nil)
Looks for a gem dependency file at .path and activates the gems in the file if found. If the file is not found an ArgumentError is raised.
If .path is not given the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS environment variable is used, but if no file is found no exception is raised.
If ‘-’ is given for .path RubyGems searches up from the current working directory for gem dependency files (gem.deps.rb, Gemfile, Isolate) and activates the gems in the first one found.
You can run this automatically when rubygems starts.  To enable, set the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS environment variable to either the path of your gem dependencies file or “-” to auto-discover in parent directories.
NOTE: Enabling automatic discovery on multiuser systems can lead to execution of arbitrary code when used from directories outside your control.
