Quoted gems dependencies version string
Reported by luckyhackee | June 20th, 2008 @ 12:57 PM
using rake gems:unpack:dependencies returns the following error: "Illformed requirement ["\"xxxxx\""]". i'm using winxp with cygwin and rails-2.1. this error occurs in the gem_dependency.rb file in the 113 and 120 lines ("cmd << "--version" << %("#{@requirement.to_s}") if @requirement"). is it so necessary to use %() there?
thanks,
luckyhackee

@luckyhackee, the $() escapes the double quotes surrounding the requirement. I.e. %(this "is awesome") turns into "this "is awesome "".
Could you please list what gems you were requiring? I'm having trouble repeating this.

Ruby 1.8.6-114 Rails 2.1.1 RubyGems 1.2.0
I removed the quotes and it worked, see the patch.

This seems to have been fixed in 2.1.2.
Don't know if Florians patch was used or not, but the issue seems to be gone from 2.1.2.

Creating a feature request
Please don't. If you want a new feature in Rails, you'll have to pull up your sleeves and get busy yourself. Or convince someone else to do it. See the contributor guide on how to get going. But posting them here is just going to lead to ticket root.
Creating a bug report
When creating a bug report, be sure to include as much relevant information as possible. Post the code sample that causes the problem. Preferably, alter the unit tests and show through either changed or added tests how the expected behavior is not occuring.
Security vulnerabilities should be reported via an email to security@rubyonrails.org, do not use trac for reporting security vulnerabilities. All content in trac is publicly available as soon as it is posted.
Then don't get your hopes up. Unless you have a "Code Red, Mission Critical, The World is Coming to an End" kinda bug, you're creating this ticket in the hope that others with the same problem will be able to collaborate with you on solving it. Do not expect that the ticket automatically will see any activity or that others will jump to fix it. Creating a ticket like this is mostly to help yourself start on the path of fixing the problem and for others to sign on to with a "I'm having this problem too"..
