Gem::Specification

The Specification class contains the metadata for a Gem. Typically defined in a .gemspec file or a Rakefile, and looks like this:

  spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|
    s.name = 'rfoo'
    s.version = '1.0'
    s.summary = 'Example gem specification'
    ...
  end

For a great way to package gems, use Hoe.

Constants

NONEXISTENT_SPECIFICATION_VERSION

The the version number of a specification that does not specify one (i.e. RubyGems 0.7 or earlier).

CURRENT_SPECIFICATION_VERSION

The specification version applied to any new Specification instances created. This should be bumped whenever something in the spec format changes.

SPECIFICATION_VERSION_HISTORY

An informal list of changes to the specification. The highest-valued key should be equal to the CURRENT_SPECIFICATION_VERSION.

attribute_alias_singular(singular, plural) click to toggle source

Defines a singular version of an existing plural attribute (i.e. one whose value is expected to be an array). This means just creating a helper method that takes a single value and appends it to the array. These are created for convenience, so that in a spec, one can write

  s.require_path = 'mylib'

instead of:

  s.require_paths = ['mylib']

That above convenience is available courtesy of:

  attribute_alias_singular :require_path, :require_paths

from_yaml(input) click to toggle source

Special loader for YAML files. When a Specification object is loaded from a YAML file, it bypasses the normal Ruby object initialization routine (initialize). This method makes up for that and deals with gems of different ages.

‘input’ can be anything that YAML.load() accepts: String or IO.

# File lib/rubygems/specification.rb, line 474
  def self.from_yaml(input)
    input = normalize_yaml_input input

Sometimes we don’t want the world to use a setter method for a particular attribute.
