Update Bundler to 1.0.15. Update Rails to 2.3.12. Update rails_xss plugin. The latter two were the source of a considerable amount of grief, as rails_xss is now MUCH stricter about what string methods can be used. Also made it possible to use rake 0.9.x with Instiki. But you probably REALLY want to use ruby bundle exec rake ... instead of just saying rake ....

Gemfile(5) -- A format for describing gem dependencies for Ruby programs
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
A `Gemfile` describes the gem dependencies required to execute associated
|
|
Ruby code.
|
|
|
|
Place the `Gemfile` in the root of the directory containing the associated
|
|
code. For instance, in a Rails application, place the `Gemfile` in the same
|
|
directory as the `Rakefile`.
|
|
|
|
## SYNTAX
|
|
|
|
A `Gemfile` is evaluated as Ruby code, in a context which makes available
|
|
a number of methods used to describe the gem requirements.
|
|
|
|
## SOURCES (#source)
|
|
|
|
At the top of the `Gemfile`, add one line for each `Rubygems` source that
|
|
might contain the gems listed in the `Gemfile`.
|
|
|
|
source "http://rubygems.org"
|
|
source "http://gems.github.com"
|
|
|
|
Each of these _source_s `MUST` be a valid Rubygems repository.
|
|
|
|
## GEMS (#gem)
|
|
|
|
Specify gem requirements using the `gem` method, with the following arguments.
|
|
All parameters are `OPTIONAL` unless otherwise specified.
|
|
|
|
### NAME (required)
|
|
|
|
For each gem requirement, list a single _gem_ line.
|
|
|
|
gem "nokogiri"
|
|
|
|
### VERSION
|
|
|
|
Each _gem_ `MAY` have one or more version specifiers.
|
|
|
|
gem "nokogiri", ">= 1.4.2"
|
|
gem "RedCloth", ">= 4.1.0", "< 4.2.0"
|
|
|
|
### REQUIRE AS (:require)
|
|
|
|
Each _gem_ `MAY` specify its main file, which should be used when autorequiring
|
|
(`Bundler.require`).
|
|
|
|
gem "sqlite3-ruby", :require => "sqlite3"
|
|
|
|
This defaults to the name of the gem itself. For instance, these are identical:
|
|
|
|
gem "nokogiri"
|
|
gem "nokogiri", :require => "nokogiri"
|
|
|
|
### GROUPS (:group or :groups)
|
|
|
|
Each _gem_ `MAY` specify membership in one or more groups. Any _gem_ that does
|
|
not specify membership in any group is placed in the `default` group.
|
|
|
|
gem "rspec", :group => :test
|
|
gem "wirble", :groups => [:development, :test]
|
|
|
|
The Bundler runtime allows its two main methods, `Bundler.setup` and
|
|
`Bundler.require`, to limit their impact to particular groups.
|
|
|
|
# setup adds gems to Ruby's load path
|
|
Bundler.setup # defaults to all groups
|
|
require "bundler/setup" # same as Bundler.setup
|
|
Bundler.setup(:default) # only set up the _default_ group
|
|
Bundler.setup(:test) # only set up the _test_ group (but `not` _default_)
|
|
Bundler.setup(:default, :test) # set up the _default_ and _test_ groups, but no others
|
|
|
|
# require requires all of the gems in the specified groups
|
|
Bundler.require # defaults to just the _default_ group
|
|
Bundler.require(:default) # identical
|
|
Bundler.require(:default, :test) # requires the _default_ and _test_ groups
|
|
Bundler.require(:test) # requires just the _test_ group
|
|
|
|
The Bundler CLI allows you to specify a list of groups whose gems `bundle install` should
|
|
not install with the `--without` option. To specify multiple groups to ignore, specify a
|
|
list of groups separated by spaces.
|
|
|
|
bundle install --without test
|
|
bundle install --without development test
|
|
|
|
After running `bundle install --without test`, bundler will remember that you excluded
|
|
the test group in the last installation. The next time you run `bundle install`,
|
|
without any `--without option`, bundler will recall it.
|
|
|
|
Also, calling `Bundler.setup` with no parameters, or calling `require "bundler/setup"`
|
|
will setup all groups except for the ones you excluded via `--without` (since they
|
|
are obviously not available).
|
|
|
|
Note that on `bundle install`, bundler downloads and evaluates all gems, in order to
|
|
create a single canonical list of all of the required gems and their dependencies.
|
|
This means that you cannot list different versions of the same gems in different
|
|
groups. For more details, see [Understanding Bundler](http://gembundler.com/rationale.html).
|
|
|
|
### PLATFORMS (:platforms)
|
|
|
|
If a gem should only be used in a particular platform or set of platforms, you can
|
|
specify them. Platforms are essentially identical to groups, except that you do not
|
|
need to use the `--without` install-time flag to exclude groups of gems for other
|
|
platforms.
|
|
|
|
There are a number of `Gemfile` platforms:
|
|
|
|
* `ruby`:
|
|
C Ruby (MRI) or Rubinius, but `NOT` Windows
|
|
* `ruby_18`:
|
|
_ruby_ `AND` version 1.8
|
|
* `ruby_19`:
|
|
_ruby_ `AND` version 1.9
|
|
* `mri`:
|
|
Same as _ruby_, but not Rubinius
|
|
* `mri_18`:
|
|
_mri_ `AND` version 1.8
|
|
* `mri_19`:
|
|
_mri_ `AND` version 1.9
|
|
* `rbx`:
|
|
Same as _ruby_, but only Rubinius (not MRI)
|
|
* `jruby`:
|
|
JRuby
|
|
* `mswin`:
|
|
Windows
|
|
* `mingw`:
|
|
Windows 'mingw32' platform (aka RubyInstaller)
|
|
* `mingw_18`:
|
|
_mingw_ `AND` version 1.8
|
|
* `mingw_19`:
|
|
_mingw_ `AND` version 1.9
|
|
|
|
As with groups, you can specify one or more platforms:
|
|
|
|
gem "weakling", :platforms => :jruby
|
|
gem "ruby-debug", :platforms => :mri_18
|
|
gem "nokogiri", :platforms => [:mri_18, :jruby]
|
|
|
|
All operations involving groups (`bundle install`, `Bundler.setup`,
|
|
`Bundler.require`) behave exactly the same as if any groups not
|
|
matching the current platform were explicitly excluded.
|
|
|
|
### GIT (:git)
|
|
|
|
If necessary, you can specify that a gem is located at a particular
|
|
git repository. The repository can be public (`http://github.com/rails/rails.git`)
|
|
or private (`git@github.com:rails/rails.git`). If the repository is private,
|
|
the user that you use to run `bundle install` `MUST` have the appropriate
|
|
keys available in their `$HOME/.ssh`.
|
|
|
|
Git repositories are specified using the `:git` parameter. The `group`,
|
|
`platforms`, and `require` options are available and behave exactly the same
|
|
as they would for a normal gem.
|
|
|
|
gem "rails", :git => "git://github.com/rails/rails.git"
|
|
|
|
A git repository `SHOULD` have at least one file, at the root of the
|
|
directory containing the gem, with the extension `.gemspec`. This file
|
|
`MUST` contain a valid gem specification, as expected by the `gem build`
|
|
command. It `MUST NOT` have any dependencies, other than on the files in
|
|
the git repository itself and any built-in functionality of Ruby or Rubygems.
|
|
|
|
If a git repository does not have a `.gemspec`, bundler will attempt to
|
|
create one, but it will not contain any dependencies, executables, or
|
|
C extension compilation instructions. As a result, it may fail to properly
|
|
integrate into your application.
|
|
|
|
If a git repository does have a `.gemspec` for the gem you attached it
|
|
to, a version specifier, if provided, means that the git repository is
|
|
only valid if the `.gemspec` specifies a version matching the version
|
|
specifier. If not, bundler will print a warning.
|
|
|
|
gem "rails", "2.3.8", :git => "git://github.com/rails/rails.git"
|
|
# bundle install will fail, because the .gemspec in the rails
|
|
# repository's master branch specifies version 3.0.0
|
|
|
|
If a git repository does `not` have a `.gemspec` for the gem you attached
|
|
it to, a version specifier `MUST` be provided. Bundler will use this
|
|
version in the simple `.gemspec` it creates.
|
|
|
|
Git repositories support a number of additional options.
|
|
|
|
* `branch`, `tag`, and `ref`:
|
|
You `MUST` only specify at most one of these options. The default
|
|
is `:branch => "master"`
|
|
* `submodules`:
|
|
Specify `:submodules => true` to cause bundler to expand any
|
|
submodules included in the git repository
|
|
|
|
If a git repository contains multiple `.gemspecs`, each `.gemspec`
|
|
represents a gem located at the same place in the file system as
|
|
the `.gemspec`.
|
|
|
|
|~rails [git root]
|
|
| |-rails.gemspec [rails gem located here]
|
|
|~actionpack
|
|
| |-actionpack.gemspec [actionpack gem located here]
|
|
|~activesupport
|
|
| |-activesupport.gemspec [activesupport gem located here]
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
To install a gem located in a git repository, bundler changes to
|
|
the directory containing the gemspec, runs `gem build name.gemspec`
|
|
and then installs the resulting gem. The `gem build` command,
|
|
which comes standard with Rubygems, evaluates the `.gemspec` in
|
|
the context of the directory in which it is located.
|
|
|
|
### PATH (:path)
|
|
|
|
You can specify that a gem is located in a particular location
|
|
on the file system. Relative paths are resolved relative to the
|
|
directory containing the `Gemfile`.
|
|
|
|
Similar to the semantics of the `:git` option, the `:path`
|
|
option requires that the directory in question either contains
|
|
a `.gemspec` for the gem, or that you specify an explicit
|
|
version that bundler should use.
|
|
|
|
Unlike `:git`, bundler does not compile C extensions for
|
|
gems specified as paths.
|
|
|
|
gem "rails", :path => "vendor/rails"
|
|
|
|
## BLOCK FORM OF GIT, PATH, GROUP and PLATFORMS
|
|
|
|
The `:git`, `:path`, `:group`, and `:platforms` options may be
|
|
applied to a group of gems by using block form.
|
|
|
|
git "git://github.com/rails/rails.git" do
|
|
gem "activesupport"
|
|
gem "actionpack"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
platforms :ruby do
|
|
gem "ruby-debug"
|
|
gem "sqlite3-ruby"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
group :development do
|
|
gem "wirble"
|
|
gem "faker"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
In the case of the `git` block form, the `:ref`, `:branch`, `:tag`,
|
|
and `:submodules` options may be passed to the `git` method, and
|
|
all gems in the block will inherit those options.
|
|
|
|
## GEMSPEC (#gemspec)
|
|
|
|
If you wish to use Bundler to help install dependencies for a gem while it is
|
|
being developed, use the `gemspec` method to pull in the dependencies listed in
|
|
the `.gemspec` file.
|
|
|
|
The `gemspec` method adds any runtime dependencies as gem requirements in the
|
|
default group. It also adds development dependencies as gem requirements in the
|
|
`development` group. Finally, it adds a gem requirement on your project (`:path
|
|
=> '.'`). In conjunction with `Bundler.setup`, this allows you to require project
|
|
files in your test code as you would if the project were installed as a gem; you
|
|
need not manipulate the load path manually or require project files via relative
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
The `gemspec` method supports optional `:path`, `:name`, and `:development_group`
|
|
options, which control where bundler looks for the `.gemspec`, what named
|
|
`.gemspec` it uses (if more than one is present), and which group development
|
|
dependencies are included in.
|
|
|
|
## SOURCE PRIORITY
|
|
|
|
When attempting to locate a gem to satisfy a gem requirement,
|
|
bundler uses the following priority order:
|
|
|
|
1. The source explicitly attached to the gem (using `:path` or `:git`)
|
|
2. For implicit gems (dependencies of explicit gems), any git or path
|
|
repository otherwise declared. This results in bundler prioritizing the
|
|
ActiveSupport gem from the Rails git repository over ones from
|
|
`rubygems.org`
|
|
3. The sources specified via `source`, in the order in which they were
|
|
declared in the `Gemfile`.
