Relationships & Source Files
Super Chains via Extension / Inclusion / Inheritance
Class Chain:

Instance Chain:
Inherits: Gem::BasicSpecification
Defined in: lib/rubygems/specification.rb

Overview

The Specification class contains the information for a gem. Typically defined in a .gemspec file or a Rakefile, and looks like this:

Gem::Specification.new do |s|
s.name        = 'example'
s.version     = '0.1.0'
s.licenses    = ['MIT']
s.summary     = "This is an example!"
s.description = "Much longer explanation of the example!"
s.authors     = ["Ruby Coder"]
s.email       = 'rubycoder@example.com'
s.files       = ["lib/example.rb"]
s.homepage    = 'https://rubygems.org/gems/example'
s.    = { "source_code_uri" => "https://github.com/example/example" }
end

Starting in RubyGems 2.0, a Specification can hold arbitrary metadata. See #metadata for restrictions on the format and size of metadata items you may add to a specification.

Specifications must be deterministic, as in the example above. For instance, you cannot define attributes conditionally:

# INVALID: do not do this.
unless RUBY_ENGINE == "jruby"
s.extensions << "ext/example/extconf.rb"
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(sym, *a, &b)

This method is for internal use only.

Track removed method calls to warn about during build time. Warn about unknown attributes while loading a spec.

Singular accessor for #executables

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 1840

def executable=(o)
  self.executables = [o]
end

#executables (rw)

Executables included in the gem.

For example, the rake gem has rake as an executable. You don't specify the full path (as in bin/rake); all application-style files are expected to be found in bindir. These files must be executable Ruby files. Files that use bash or other interpreters will not work.

Executables included may only be ruby scripts, not scripts for other languages or compiled binaries.

Usage:

spec.executables << 'rake'
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 586

def executables
  @executables ||= []
end

#executables=(value) (rw)

Sets executables to value, ensuring it is an array.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 1847

def executables=(value)
  @executables = Array(value)
end

#extensions (rw)

Extensions to build when installing the gem, specifically the paths to extconf.rb-style files used to compile extensions.

These files will be run when the gem is installed, causing the C (or whatever) code to be compiled on the user's machine.

Usage:

spec.extensions << 'ext/rmagic/extconf.rb'

See Ext::Builder for information about writing extensions for gems.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 603

def extensions
  @extensions ||= []
end

#extensions=(extensions) (rw)

Sets extensions to #extensions, ensuring it is an array.

def extensions=(extensions)
  @extensions = Array extensions
end

#extra_rdoc_files (rw)

Extra files to add to RDoc such as README or doc/examples.txt

When the user elects to generate the RDoc documentation for a gem (typically at install time), all the library files are sent to RDoc for processing. This option allows you to have some non-code files included for a more complete set of documentation.

Usage:

spec.extra_rdoc_files = ['README', 'doc/user-guide.txt']

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 619

def extra_rdoc_files
  @extra_rdoc_files ||= []
end

#extra_rdoc_files=(files) (rw)

Sets extra_rdoc_files to #files, ensuring it is an array.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 1861

def extra_rdoc_files=(files)
  @extra_rdoc_files = Array files
end

#files (rw)

Files included in this gem. You cannot append to this accessor, you must assign to it.

Only add files you can require to this list, not directories, etc.

Directories are automatically stripped from this list when building a gem, other non-files cause an error.

Usage:

require 'rake'
spec.files = FileList['lib/**/*.rb',
                    'bin/*',
                    '[A-Z]*'].to_a

# or without Rake...
spec.files = Dir['lib/**/*.rb'] + Dir['bin/*']
spec.files += Dir['[A-Z]*']
spec.files.reject! { |fn| fn.include? "CVS" }
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 255

def files
  # DO NOT CHANGE TO ||= ! This is not a normal accessor. (yes, it sucks)
  # DOC: Why isn't it normal? Why does it suck? How can we fix this?
  @files = [@files,
            @test_files,
            add_bindir(@executables),
            @extra_rdoc_files,
            @extensions].flatten.compact.uniq.sort
end

  end
rescue ArgumentError => e
  raise e, "#{name} #{version}: #{e.message}"
end

#has_test_suite? (readonly)

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 1919

def has_unit_tests? # :nodoc:
  !test_files.empty?
end

#homepage (rw)

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 628

def installed_by_version # :nodoc:
  @installed_by_version ||= Gem::Version.new(0)
end

#installed_by_version=(version) (rw)

This method is for internal use only.

Sets the version of RubyGems that installed this gem. See also #installed_by_version.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 636

def installed_by_version=(version) # :nodoc:
  @installed_by_version = Gem::Version.new version
end

#license (rw)

Singular accessor for #licenses

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 2040

def license
  licenses.first
end

#license=(o) (rw)

The license for this gem.

The license must be no more than 64 characters, and should be a single SPDX license identifier from https://spdx.org/licenses/. Ideally, you should pick one that is OSI (Open Source Initiative) https://opensource.org/licenses/ approved.

The most commonly used OSI-approved licenses are MIT and Apache-2.0. GitHub also provides a license picker at https://choosealicense.com/.

The full text of the license should be inside of the gem (at the top level) when you build it.

RubyGems validates the license against the SPDX license list when you run gem build and warns about unknown or deprecated identifiers. An identifier may carry a trailing + (this version or any later version) and a license exception joined with WITH, for example Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception.

Compound SPDX license expressions such as MIT OR Apache-2.0 are not currently supported. RubyGems treats the whole string as a single identifier and warns that it is invalid. For a gem available under more than one license, set each license as a separate entry with #licenses=.

For a license that has no SPDX identifier, use Nonstandard, or LicenseRef- where idstring is the name of the file containing the license text.

You should specify a license for your gem so that people know how they are permitted to use it and any restrictions you're placing on it. Not specifying a license means all rights are reserved; others have no right to use the code for any purpose.

Usage:

spec.license = 'MIT'
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 363

def license=(o)
  self.licenses = [o]
end

#licenses (rw)

Plural accessor for setting licenses

See #license= for details

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 2049

def licenses
  @licenses ||= []
end

#licenses=(licenses) (rw)

The license(s) for the library.

Each entry must be a single SPDX license identifier, no more than 64 characters. Entries are validated independently, so a compound expression such as MIT OR Apache-2.0 is not valid as an entry. Listing the identifiers as separate array elements is currently the only way RubyGems supports declaring a dual- or multi-licensed gem.

Note that the array itself does not state how the licenses combine. Include the full text of each license in the gem and describe the exact terms there.

See #license= for more discussion

Usage:

spec.licenses = ['MIT', 'GPL-2.0-only']
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 385

def licenses=(licenses)
  @licenses = Array licenses
end

#metadata (rw)

The metadata holds extra data for this gem that may be useful to other consumers and is settable by gem authors.

Metadata items have the following restrictions:

  • The metadata must be a Hash object
  • All keys and values must be Strings
  • Keys can be a maximum of 128 bytes and values can be a maximum of 1024 bytes
  • All strings must be UTF-8, no binary data is allowed

You can use metadata to specify links to your gem's homepage, codebase, documentation, wiki, mailing list, issue tracker and changelog.

s. = {
"bug_tracker_uri"   => "https://example.com/user/bestgemever/issues",
"changelog_uri"     => "https://example.com/user/bestgemever/CHANGELOG.md",
"documentation_uri" => "https://www.example.info/gems/bestgemever/0.0.1",
"homepage_uri"      => "https://bestgemever.example.io",
"mailing_list_uri"  => "https://groups.example.com/bestgemever",
"source_code_uri"   => "https://example.com/user/bestgemever",
"wiki_uri"          => "https://example.com/user/bestgemever/wiki",
"funding_uri"       => "https://example.com/donate"
}

These links will be used on your gem's page on rubygems.org and must pass validation against following regex.

%r{\Ahttps?:\/\/([^\s:@]:[^\s:@]*@)?[A-Za-z\d\-](\.[A-Za-z\d\-])\.?(:\d{1,5})?([\/?]\S*)?\z}
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 420

attr_accessor :

#missing_extensions?Boolean (readonly)

Is this specification missing its extensions? When this returns true you probably want to build_extensions

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 2084

def missing_extensions?
  return false if RUBY_ENGINE == "jruby"
  return false if extensions.empty?
  return false if default_gem?

  true
end

#name (rw)

This gem's name.

# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 208

attr_accessor :name

#original_platform (rw)

This method is for internal use only.

Cruft. Use #platform.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 2135

def original_platform # :nodoc:
  @original_platform ||= platform
end

#original_platform=(value) (rw)

This method is for internal use only.

Allows deinstallation of gems with legacy platforms.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 758

attr_writer :original_platform # :nodoc:

#platform (rw)

The platform this gem runs on. See Platform for details.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 2142

def platform
  @new_platform ||= Gem::Platform::RUBY # rubocop:disable Naming/MemoizedInstanceVariableName
end

#platform=(platform) (rw)

The platform this gem runs on.

This is usually Platform::RUBY or Platform::CURRENT.

Most gems contain pure Ruby code; they should simply leave the default value in place. Some gems contain C (or other) code to be compiled into a Ruby "extension". The gem should leave the default value in place unless the code will only compile on a certain type of system. Some gems consist of pre-compiled code ("binary gems"). It's especially important that they set the platform attribute appropriately. A shortcut is to set the platform to Platform::CURRENT, which will cause the gem builder to set the platform to the appropriate value for the system on which the build is being performed.

If this attribute is set to a non-default value, it will be included in the filename of the gem when it is built such as: nokogiri-1.6.0-x86-mingw32.gem

Usage:

spec.platform = Gem::Platform.local
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/rubygems/specification.rb', line 483

def platform=(platform)
  @original_platform = platform

  case platform
  when Gem::Platform::CURRENT then

  when "i586-linux" then # was Gem::Platform::LINUX_586
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new "x86-linux"
  when "powerpc-darwin" then # was Gem::Platform::DARWIN
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new "ppc-darwin"
  else
    @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new platform
  end

  @platform = @new_platform.to_s
end

#post_install_message (rw)
