Category: `gem install` command Group: v1.3.x >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Joel Duffin (oxtralite) >Assigned to: Eric Hodel (drbrain) Summary: local gem install hits network even when gemfile exists locally Initial Comment: The RubyGems documentation for gem install says: "It will attempt a local installation (i.e. a .gem file in the current directory), and if that fails, it will attempt to download and install the most recent version of the gem you want." (http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/10#page33) It appears that it still accesses the network even when the .gem file exists locally. This significantly slows down local gem installs. You can easily verify this by noticing the different in how long the command takes with and without the --local option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Eric Hodel (drbrain) Date: 2010-02-08 19:16 Message: I don't see this: $ ruby -Ilib bin/gem install rake -i ~/tmp/gems --local -V Installing gem rake-0.8.7 Using local gem /Users/drbrain/.gem/ruby/1.8/cache/rake-0.8.7.gem [...] Successfully installed rake-0.8.7 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for rake-0.8.7...
