Category: `gem install` command Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Greg Hazel (ghazel) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: more specific error message when a gem fails to install Initial Comment: Currently, gem reports errors like this: C:\gem install eventmachine --source http://gemcutter.org ERROR: could not find gem eventmachine locally or in a repository even if the real error is that the source failed, but the gem does exist: GET 500 Internal Server Error: http://gemcutter.org/quick/Marshal.4.8/eventmachine-0.12.0-i386-mswin32.gemspec.rz More details here: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=27455&group_id=126 Instead, simply displaying the error message: ERROR: bad response Internal Server Error 500 (http://gemcutter.org/quick/Marshal.4.8/eventmachine-0.12.0-i386-mswin32.gemspec.rz) would be more helpful. Even something as terse as: ERROR: bad response Internal Server Error 500 or ERROR: bad response Internal Server Error 500 (http://gemcutter.org) serves to indicate the error is with a remote server, not that the gem is not found. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=578&aid=27457&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
