Generators don't load gems from environment.rb

Reported by Matt Jones | January 14th, 2009 @ 06:11 AM | in 3.0.2

When using script/generate, the gem settings in environment.rb are not followed.

So for instance, even if version 0.4.0 of a gem is specified in environment.rb, if a higher version is installed, script/generate will end up using it.

Addressing this is going to be painful... we probably don't want to run the whole Initializer block just to pick up these settings. The solution is probably going be part of #1721.

    Attached is a partial solution to this which at least allows generators in frozen gems to be found and used. It adds the VendorGemSourceIndex stuff and searches the specs correctly. The net effect is that generators inside frozen gems will always have priority.

    Again, not complete (it still doesn't handle a specification of a different system-repository gem) but at least a start.

    No tests, as I couldn't figure out an orderly way to test the interaction between a frozen gem and a system-installed gem. That, and there were exactly 0 tests for the existing "load generators from gems" functionality. Suggestions are welcome.

    Patch is against 2-3-stable.

    Matt, on Rails 3 we are only going to load generators from loaded gems. We hope to offer a more robust solution together with Carlhuda bundler.
