Category: `gem install` command Group: v1.8.x >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 3 Submitted By: Eric Hodel (drbrain) >Assigned to: Ryan Davis (zenspider) Summary: Gem plugins + gem install -i causes activation errors Initial Comment: Steps to reproduce: gem install rubygems-test (has a rake dependency) gem install rake -v 0.8.7 gem install rake gem install -i /tmp/gems rake Expected results: rake installed in /tmp/gems Actual results: ./lib/rubygems/dependency.rb:252:in `to_specs': Could not find rake (>= 0.8.7) amongst [] (Gem::LoadError) from ./lib/rubygems/specification.rb:760:in `find_in_unresolved' from ./lib/rubygems/specification.rb:760:in `map' from ./lib/rubygems/specification.rb:760:in `find_in_unresolved' from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:43:in `require' from ./lib/rubygems/remote_fetcher.rb:63:in `initialize' from ./lib/rubygems/remote_fetcher.rb:48:in `new' from ./lib/rubygems/remote_fetcher.rb:48:in `fetcher' from ./lib/rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb:66:in `initialize' from ./lib/rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb:43:in `new' from ./lib/rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb:43:in `fetcher' from ./lib/rubygems/dependency_installer.rb:129:in `find_gems_with_sources' from ./lib/rubygems/dependency_installer.rb:269:in `find_spec_by_name_and_version' from ./lib/rubygems/dependency_installer.rb:300:in `install' from ./lib/rubygems/commands/install_command.rb:124:in `execute' from ./lib/rubygems/commands/install_command.rb:118:in `each' from ./lib/rubygems/commands/install_command.rb:118:in `execute' from ./lib/rubygems/command.rb:278:in `invoke' from ./lib/rubygems/command_manager.rb:161:in `process_args' from ./lib/rubygems/command_manager.rb:120:in `run' from ./lib/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:64:in `run' from /usr/bin/gem:21 `gem install -i path` changes the source directory for Gem::Specification so no gems are available. This works with RubyGems 1.7.2 and older, probably due to separate Gem::SourceIndexes for installation of gems and for loading gems. A workaround is to uninstall rubygems-test or uninstall the old version of rake. A possible fix could be to force-resolve dependencies when changing Gem::Specification's source directories ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ryan Davis (zenspider) Date: 2011-06-07 16:50 Message: Hi! Believe it or not, we're moving to github's issue tracker! The pressure to move has been loud and clear, but for the longest time it didn't support the way we worked. Now that it has freeform labels it can support our workflow adequately. There is just one problem: Your bug is here and we don't want to lose you! What we'd like you to do is fairly painless and should only take a few minutes: Please file the _exact_ same ticket on github and provide a link back to this crufty old ticket so we can refer to any previous discussion that occurred. Once the new ticket is made, put a forwarding link to it here and close this ticket out. In a couple weeks, we'll track down the old tickets that are still open and decide what to do with them. We could have done this fairly automatically, but we really want you to do it so you're attached to the ticket and we can still communicate with you and keep a record of it. https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues Thanks, The RubyGems Team ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=29253&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
