Hi, reviving little old thread,
I've noticed the automatic repository creation on demand. My question is
whether there is an 'official' way to initialize/create a new repository
'just now', without waiting for a 'demand'.
My use-case is that in the IDE I'll let user adjust a GEM_PATH. Ff the
user enter a non-existing or empty repository, I'll show the dialog
saying something like:
"The directory is not a valid RubyGems repository, do you want to set
it up?" [Yes] [No]
If 'Yes' what should I run? I tried just a 'gem env' and it will
create/setup gems repositories in all non-repository directories on the
GEM_PATH.
So may I rely on 'gem env' or is there a more correct way?
Thanks,
m.
