config.gem with multiple sources
Reported by Tim Lucas | February 6th, 2009 @ 12:55 AM | in 2.x
The gem command allows you to specific N sources but GemDependency only allows one.
To install some gems (e.g. aslakhellesoy-cucumber from github) you need to specify multiple gem repositories, such as gems.github.com and gems.rubyforge.org.
The latest patch (see last comment) adds a :sources
option to specify multiple sources and improves the
config.gem
rdoc.

+1 Though the real solution is for either every gem developer to host their gems on Rubyforge, or (more realistically) Rubyforge provide automatic acceptances for name-spaced gems (ala Github).

Just noticed
attr_accessor :source
. Not sure if anybody is using GemDependency directly, or whether it's a supported API.I've attached a new patch which removes the
source
reader accessor and replaces it withsources
.Even more unsure now whether :source should simply be an alias to :sources and we allow both a single value and an array of values.

Attached is a new ticket with updated rdoc for
config.gem
, as well as making:source
and:sources
equivalent and consistent.The
Rails::GemDependency#source
accessor has been removed and replaced with#sources

This is caused by the --source option to gem install ignoring any other sources configured by the system when installing dependencies. (see also this ticket for Rubygems)
A different fix would be to include the sources listed from 'gem sources' when invoking 'gem install'. That would solve the most common case (where a gem on github depends on gems hosted on rubyforge).
It should be easy to add ('gem sources' is basically just a newline-seperated list of URLs) - I'll try to put a patch together this weekend.

you think that's really a good idea though? Sounds like a round-about monkey patch to rubygems, something that would be in rails for quite a while. At least my approach is simply the same as what you'd do on the command line and when rubygems is fixed you just update your app's config (if needed)

Is this what causes my gems:install to fail when installing a gem from GitHub (using :sources => "http://gems.github.com") that has a regular dependency?
gem install patientslikeme-campaign_monitor --source http://gems.github.com ERROR: Error installing patientslikeme-campaign_monitor:
patientslikeme-campaign_monitor requires xml-simple (>= 1.0.11, runtime)
