Category: other Group: v1.3.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Mike Burrows (asplake) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Gem::Specification#validate fails if homepage is unspecified Initial Comment: rubygems/specification.rb:886: unless homepage.empty? or homepage =~ /\A[a-z][a-z\d+.-]*:/i then The above line fails with undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass if homepage is nil, and the helpful "no #{attribute} specified" warning a few lines later is never reached. Perhaps someone assumed that everyone has #empty? defined on NilClass? I worked around this problem (and identified my missing homepage setting) by doing just that in my Rakefile. Thank you for an otherwise wonderful thing!
