I have a conflict between rspec and mocha (rspec is not using mocha but other minitest tests are).
If I put mocha in my gemfile (even with require: false) it gets loaded by activesupport/test_case.rb:15
silence_warnings { require 'mocha/setup' }
which then causes rspec to barf.
So, I'd like to just require it in my test_setup file from my system gems but I can't figure out how to load a gem outside of bundler.
Other ideas on how to get these gems to play nice are welcome.
You can use groups in your Gemfile: http://bundler.io/v1.3/groups.html
Require the gems in particular groups, noting that gems outside of a
named group are in the :default group
Bundler.require(:default, :development)
Require the default gems, plus the gems in a group
named the same as the current Rails environment
Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env)
Restrict the groups of gems that
you want to add to the load path. Only gems in these groups will be
require'able
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler'
Bundler.setup(:default, :ci)
require 'nokogiri'
Could you just install gem and require it?
$ gem install my_gem
and in testfile:
require 'full/path/to/my_gem.rb'

Trying to figure out Ruby's Bundler library. My understanding is we can require only certain groups, but my setup seems to be loading gems specified in other groups as well.
Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org'
# Specify your gem's dependencies in apple.gemspec
gemspec
group :production do
gem 'mail'
gem 'bundler'
gem 'pry'
gem 'commander'
gem 'fastlane'
gem 'spaceship'
gem 'highline'
gem 'terminal-table'
gem 'clipboard'
gem 'date'
gem 'mysql2'
gem 'fileutils'
gem 'redis'
gem 'json'
gem 'logger'
gem 'jira-ruby', :require => 'jira-ruby'
end
group :jenkins do
gem 'terminal-table'
gem 'pry'
gem 'mail'
gem 'jira-ruby'
gem 'spaceship'
end
test.rb
require 'pry'
binding.pry
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
Bundler.require(:jenkins) # I want this step to require only gems listed under 'jenkins' group in `Gemfile`.
...
When I run the code, it seems Bundler.require(:jenkins) step seems to be requiring all gems specified in Gemfile,
I am still in the process of understanding Bundler, pardon me if the question I asked is too obvious. Does anyone know how to only load the gems from bundler groups? Thanks in advance!!
This is kind of confusing, but as far as I can tell from using it myself, it only requires the gems in the given group even though it lists all of them.
It's pretty easy to see this for yourself, just try using one from the production group
Bundler.require(:jenkins)
Date.new # Should error
Really it seems like you may have noticed this yourself, but you just didn't realize.. If it was including all of them you wouldn't have needed to require pry in test.rb :)
I'm doing some messing around to try to understand better how bundler works. I have just three files in my working directory:
Gemfile Gemfile.lock test.rb
All the Gemfile has is gem "slop" and test.rb looks like this:
puts Slop.parse
When I run bundle exec test.rb I get a NameError due to not having a require statement:
[ec2-user#xx my_app]$ bundle exec ruby test.rb
test.rb:1:in `<main>': uninitialized constant Slop (NameError)
But if I run bundle console, Bundler loads the gem correctly and I can run Slop.parse from the console without having to explicitly type require "slop":
[ec2-user#xx my_app]$ bundle console
irb(main):001:0> Slop.parse
=> #<Slop::Result:0x00000001339838...
So what am I missing? I was under the impression that since I don't have require: false in my Gemfile, Slop should be loaded when I run bundle exec ruby test.rb and I shouldn't need to put the require "slop" line in the file.
You need to config bundler to require all gems on your Gemfile like this:
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
Bundler.require(:default)
Check the docs at http://bundler.io/v1.12/bundler_setup.html
I was under the impression that since I don't have require: false in
my Gemfile, Slop should be loaded when I run bundle exec ruby test.rb
and I shouldn't need to put the require "slop" line in the file.
The bundler docs say:
Specify your dependencies in a Gemfile in your project's root:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'nokogiri' #<======HERE
Inside your app, load up the bundled environment:
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
# require your gems as usual
require 'nokogiri' #<========AND HERE
As for this:
I was under the impression that since I don't have require: false in
my Gemfile, Slop should be loaded when I run bundle exec ruby test.rb
and I shouldn't need to put the require "slop" line in the file.
The bundler docs are horrible on this point. As far as I can tell, :require => false is a Rails specific thing, which is used to decrease load times on project startup. In a rails app, specifying require: false means that the gem won't be loaded until you manually require the gem. If you don't specify :require => false, then the gem will be loaded automatically--however that is because rails code is written to do that automatic loading. Your app has no code that performs a similar function.
Edit: Made a mistake while testing. So here's the way it works: In a non rails app, e.g. in your test.rb, if you want to automatically require all the gems specified in your Gemfile, you need to write:
Bundler.require :default
The Bundler docs mention that in the fine print here:
Specify :require => false to prevent bundler from requiring the gem,
but still install it and maintain dependencies.
gem 'rspec', :require => false
gem 'sqlite3'
In order to require gems in your Gemfile, you will need to call Bundler.require in your application.
I'm not sure why that requirement was only mentioned in conjunction with require: false instead of being stated at the outset.
And, in your Gemfile if you specify:
gem 'slop', :require => false
(as well as Bundler.require :default in test.rb), then you also have to explicitly require the slop gem in test.rb:
require 'slop'
In other words, Bundler.require :default automatically requires all the gems in your Gemfile except the gems marked with require: false. For gems marked with require: false, you have to manually write require 'gem_name' in your app.
Therefore, neydroid posted the correct solution.
* In your Gemfile, you can nest gems in groups, which affects how Bundler.require() works. See the Bundler docs on groups.
You should add the require "slop" inside your test.rb
I'm trying to run a Sinatra application with the most basic app.rb:
require 'sinatra/activerecord/rake'
require 'bundler/setup'
Bundler.require(:default)
require_relative './config'
require_relative './models/star'
require_relative './models/planet'
require_relative './models/moon'
require_relative './models/astronaut'
get '/' do
erb :index
end
After using Bundle and creating Gemfile.lock I'm keep getting this error:
You have already activated activesupport 4.0.2, but your Gemfile requires activesupport 3.2.16. Using bundle exec may solve this. (Gem::LoadError)
My Rakefile is:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'sinatra'
gem 'sinatra-reloader'
gem 'sinatra-activerecord'
gem 'activerecord', '~> 3.2.13'
gem 'rake'
gem 'pg'
gem 'pry'
I'll be grateful for any suggestions.
You have both ActiveRecord 4.0.2 and 3.2.13 installed on your system. The first line of your app requires sinatra/activerecord/rake which in turn requires activerecord, without specifying which version. This activates and loads 4.0.2 – the latest version.
In the next line you try to set up Bundler. Bundler now tries to activate version 3.2.13 of ActiveRecord as specified in your Gemfile, but can’t since a version is already activated, so you get an error.
To fix, simply make sure you call require 'bundler/setup' first, before you require any other files. This will ensure any files you require will be compatible with your Gemfile.
Alternatively you could remove the call to require bundler/setup and make sure you always start your app using bundle exec.
I am using bundler to require all the gems in my project. However, it's not working for yaml/logger.
If I add gem 'yaml' to my gemfile, and run bundle install, I get:
Could not find gem 'yaml (>= 0) ruby' in the gems available on this machine.
But I require it normally just fine. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
YAML is part of the Ruby Standard Library, and not a Gem.
You do not need to add it to your Gemfile, just require it.
irb(main):001:0> require 'yaml'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> YAML
=> Psych
The same applies for Logger.
Does this:
gem 'whenever', require: false
mean that the gem needs to be installed, or does it mean it is not required?
This means install the gem, but do not call require when you start Bundler. So you will need to manually call
require "whenever"
if you want to use the library.
If you were to do
gem "whenever", require: "whereever"
then bundler would download the gem named whenever, but would call
require "whereever"
This is often used if the name of library to require is different than the name of the gem.
You use :require => false when you want the gem to be installed but not "required".
So in the example you gave:
gem 'whenever', :require => false
when someone runs bundle install the whenever gem would be installed as with gem install whenever. Whenever is used to create cron jobs by running a rake task but isn't usually used from within the rails (or other framework if not rails) application.
So you can use :require => false for anything that you need to run from the command line but don't need within your code.
require: false tells Bundler.require not to require that specific gem: the gem must be required explicitly via require 'gem'.
This option does not affect:
bundle install: the gem will get installed regardless
the require search path setup by bundler.
Bundler adds things to the path when you do either of:
Bundle.setup
which is called by require bundler/setup
which is called by bundle exec
Example
Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'haml'
gem 'faker', require: false
main.rb
# Fail because we haven't done Bundler.require yet.
# bundle exec does not automatically require anything for us,
# it only puts them in the require path.
begin Haml; rescue NameError; else raise; end
begin Faker; rescue NameError; else raise; end
# The Bundler object is automatically required on `bundle exec`.
Bundler.require
Haml
# Not required because of the require: false on the Gemfile.
# THIS is what `require: false` does.
begin Faker; rescue NameError; else raise; end
# Faker is in the path because Bundle.setup is done automatically
# when we use `bundle exec`. This is not affected by `require: false`.
require 'faker'
Faker
Then the following won't raise exceptions:
bundle install --path=.bundle
bundle exec ruby main.rb
On GitHub for you to play with it.
Rails usage
As explained in the initialization tutorial, the default Rails template runs on startup:
config/boot.rb
config/application.rb
config/boot.rb contains:
ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] ||= File.expand_path('../../Gemfile', __FILE__)
require 'bundler/setup' if File.exists?(ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'])
which does the require 'bundler/setup' and sets up the require path.
config/application.rb does:
Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env)
which actually requires the gems.
Whenever you specify a Gem in your Gemfile and run bundle install, bundler will go and install specified gem and load code for that Gem in you app by putting require 'whenever' this way bundler will load code for all of your Gems in your Rails app, and you can call any method from any Gem without any pain, like you do most of the time.
but Gems like whenever, faker or capistrano are something which you do not need in your app code you need whenever code in your schedule.rb file to manage crons and capistrano code in deploy.rb file to customize deployment recipe so you need not to load code for these gems in your app code
and wherever you want to call any method from these Gems you can manually require thsese gems by yourself by putting require "whenever" . so you put :require => false in your Gemfile for these Gems, this way bundler will install that Gem but not load code for that Gem itself, you can do it whenever you want by simply putting like require 'whenever' in your case.
Analogy to Explain
## Gemfile
gem "university_degree", require: false
gem "dealing_with_boss"
"dealing_with_boss" - loaded into memory and ready to go.
degree gem - not "needed"....you need to manually require it, in order to use it.
In order to require gems in your Gemfile, you will need to call Bundler.require.
You can prevent bundler from requiring the gem with require: false, but it will still install and maintain the gem. Check this out for a more detailed explanation.
