Overview

RubyGems is the Ruby standard for publishing and managing third party libraries.

For user documentation, see:

For gem developer documentation see:

Further RubyGems documentation can be found at:

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

.find_latest_files(glob, check_load_path = true)

Returns a list of paths matching glob from the latest gems that can be used by a gem to pick up features from other gems. For example:

Gem.find_latest_files('rdoc/discover').each do |path| load path end

if check_load_path is true (the default), then find_latest_files also searches $LOAD_PATH for files as well as gems.

Unlike find_files, find_latest_files will return only files from the latest version of a gem.

.source_date_epoch

Returns the value of .source_date_epoch_string, as a Time object.

This is used throughout RubyGems for enabling reproducible builds.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems.rb', line 1185

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 the time that source_date_epoch_string was first called in the same format as SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.

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/

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems.rb', line 1166

  end
end

.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.

.use_paths(home, *paths)

Use the home and .paths values for .dir and .path. Used mainly by the unit tests to provide environment isolation.

# File 'lib/rubygems.rb', line 1010

def self.use_paths(home, *paths)
  paths.flatten!
  paths.compact!
  hash = { "GEM_HOME" => home, "GEM_PATH" => paths.empty? ? home : paths.join(File::PATH_SEPARATOR) }
  hash.delete_if {|_, v| v.nil? }
  self.paths = hash
end

.user_dir

Path for gems in the user’s home directory

  gem_dir = File.join(Gem.data_home, "gem") unless File.exist?(gem_dir)
  parts = [gem_dir, ruby_engine]
  parts << RbConfig::CONFIG["ruby_version"] unless RbConfig::CONFIG["ruby_version"].empty?
  File.join parts
end

.user_home

The home directory for the user.

# File 'lib/rubygems/defaults.rb', line 96

def self.user_home
  @user_home ||= find_home
end

.vendor_dir

This method is for internal use only.

Directory where vendor gems are installed.

# File 'lib/rubygems/defaults.rb', line 260

def self.vendor_dir # :nodoc:
  if vendor_dir = ENV["GEM_VENDOR"]
    return vendor_dir.dup

.write_binary(path, data)

Safely write a file in binary mode on all platforms.

def self.write_binary(path, data)
  File.binwrite(path, data)
rescue Errno::ENOSPC
  # If we ran out of space but the file exists, it's *guaranteed* to be corrupted.
  File.delete(path) if File.exist?(path)
  raise
