The Specification
class contains the information for a gem. Typically defined in a .gemspec file or a Rakefile, and looks like this:
Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.name = 'example' s.version = '0.1.0' s.licenses = ['MIT'] s.summary = "This is an example!" s.description = "Much longer explanation of the example!" s.authors = ["Ruby Coder"] s.email = 'rubycoder@example.com' s.files = ["lib/example.rb"] s.homepage = 'https://rubygems.org/gems/example' s.metadata = { "source_code_uri" => "https://github.com/example/example" } end
Starting in RubyGems 2.0, a Specification
can hold arbitrary metadata. See metadata
for restrictions on the format and size of metadata items you may add to a specification.
The version number of a specification that does not specify one (i.e. RubyGems 0.7 or earlier).
def removed_method_calls @removed_method_calls ||= [] endOptional gemspec attributes ↑ top Constants
The path in the gem for executable scripts. Usually âexeâ
Usage:
spec.bindir = 'exe'
The certificate chain used to sign this gem. See Gem::Security
for details.
A message that gets displayed after the gem is installed.
Usage:
spec.post_install_message = "Thanks for installing!"
The RubyGems version required by this gem
Public Instance Methods Sourcedef add_dependency(gem, *requirements) if requirements.uniq.size != requirements.size warn "WARNING: duplicated #{gem} dependency #{requirements}" end add_dependency_with_type(gem, :runtime, requirements) end
Adds a runtime dependency named gem
with requirements
to this gem.
Usage:
spec.add_dependency 'example', '~> 1.1', '>= 1.1.4'Source
def add_development_dependency(gem, *requirements) add_dependency_with_type(gem, :development, requirements) end
Adds a development dependency named gem
with requirements
to this gem.
Usage:
spec.add_development_dependency 'example', '~> 1.1', '>= 1.1.4'
Development dependencies arenât installed by default and arenât activated when a gem is required.
SourceSingular (alternative) writer for authors
Usage:
spec.author = 'John Jones'Source
def executables @executables ||= [] end
Executables included in the gem.
For example, the rake gem has rake as an executable. You donât specify the full path (as in bin/rake); all application-style files are expected to be found in bindir. These files must be executable Ruby files. Files that use bash or other interpreters will not work.
Executables included may only be ruby scripts, not scripts for other languages or compiled binaries.
Usage:
spec.executables << 'rake'Source
def extensions @extensions ||= [] end
Extensions to build when installing the gem, specifically the paths to extconf.rb-style files used to compile extensions.
These files will be run when the gem is installed, causing the C (or whatever) code to be compiled on the userâs machine.
Usage:
spec.extensions << 'ext/rmagic/extconf.rb'
See Gem::Ext::Builder
for information about writing extensions for gems.
def platform=(platform) @original_platform = platform case platform when Gem::Platform::CURRENT then @new_platform = Gem::Platform.local @original_platform = @new_platform.to_s when Gem::Platform then @new_platform = platform when nil, Gem::Platform::RUBY then @new_platform = Gem::Platform::RUBY when "mswin32" then @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new "x86-mswin32" when "i586-linux" then @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new "x86-linux" when "powerpc-darwin" then @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new "ppc-darwin" else @new_platform = Gem::Platform.new platform end @platform = @new_platform.to_s invalidate_memoized_attributes end
The platform this gem runs on.
This is usually Gem::Platform::RUBY or Gem::Platform::CURRENT.
Most gems contain pure Ruby code; they should simply leave the default value in place. Some gems contain C (or other) code to be compiled into a Ruby âextensionâ. The gem should leave the default value in place unless the code will only compile on a certain type of system. Some gems consist of pre-compiled code (âbinary gemsâ). Itâs especially important that they set the platform attribute appropriately. A shortcut is to set the platform to Gem::Platform::CURRENT, which will cause the gem builder to set the platform to the appropriate value for the system on which the build is being performed.
If this attribute is set to a non-default value, it will be included in the filename of the gem when it is built such as: nokogiri-1.6.0-x86-mingw32.gem
Usage:
spec.platform = Gem::Platform.localSource
def rdoc_options @rdoc_options ||= [] end
Specifies the rdoc options to be used when generating API documentation.
Usage:
spec.rdoc_options << '--title' << 'Rake -- Ruby Make' << '--main' << 'README' << '--line-numbers'Source
def require_paths=(val) @require_paths = Array(val) end
Paths in the gem to add to $LOAD_PATH
when this gem is activated. If you have an extension you do not need to add "ext"
to the require path, the extension build process will copy the extension files into âlibâ for you.
The default value is "lib"
Usage:
spec.require_paths = ['.']Source
def required_ruby_version=(req) @required_ruby_version = Gem::Requirement.create req @required_ruby_version.requirements.map! do |op, v| if v >= LATEST_RUBY_WITHOUT_PATCH_VERSIONS && v.release.segments.size == 4 [op == "~>" ? "=" : op, Gem::Version.new(v.segments.tap {|s| s.delete_at(3) }.join("."))] else [op, v] end end end
The version of Ruby required by this gem. The ruby version can be specified to the patch-level:
$ ruby -v -e 'p Gem.ruby_version' ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin12.4.0] #<Gem::Version "2.0.0.247">
Prereleases can also be specified.
Usage:
spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 1.8.6' spec.required_ruby_version = '~> 2.3' spec.required_ruby_version = '> 2.6.0.preview2' spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.3', '< 4'Source

def license=(o) self.licenses = [o] end
The license for this gem.
The license must be no more than 64 characters.
This should just be the name of your license. The full text of the license should be inside of the gem (at the top level) when you build it.
The simplest way is to specify the standard SPDX ID spdx.org/licenses/ for the license. Ideally, you should pick one that is OSI (Open Source Initiative) opensource.org/licenses/ approved.
The most commonly used OSI-approved licenses are MIT and Apache-2.0. GitHub also provides a license picker at choosealicense.com/.
You can also use a custom license file along with your gemspec and specify a LicenseRef-<idstring>, where idstring is the name of the file containing the license text.
You should specify a license for your gem so that people know how they are permitted to use it and any restrictions youâre placing on it. Not specifying a license means all rights are reserved; others have no right to use the code for any purpose.
You can set multiple licenses with licenses=
Usage:
spec.license = 'MIT'Source
def licenses=(licenses) @licenses = Array licenses end
The license(s) for the library.
Each license must be a short name, no more than 64 characters.
This should just be the name of your license. The full text of the license should be inside of the gem when you build it.
See license=
for more discussion
Usage:
spec.licenses = ['MIT', 'GPL-2.0']Required gemspec attributes ↑ top Attributes
This gemâs name.
Usage:
spec.name = 'rake'
A short summary of this gemâs description. Displayed in gem list -d
.
The description
should be more detailed than the summary.
Usage:
spec.summary = "This is a small summary of my gem"
This gemâs version.
The version string can contain numbers and periods, such as 1.0.0
. A gem is a âprereleaseâ gem if the version has a letter in it, such as 1.0.0.pre
.
Usage:
spec.version = '0.4.1'Public Instance Methods Source
def authors=(value) @authors = Array(value).flatten.grep(String) end
A list of authors for this gem.
Alternatively, a single author can be specified by assigning a string to spec.author
Usage:
spec.authors = ['John Jones', 'Mary Smith']Source
def files @files = [@files, @test_files, add_bindir(@executables), @extra_rdoc_files, @extensions].flatten.compact.uniq.sort end
Files included in this gem. You cannot append to this accessor, you must assign to it.
Only add files you can require to this list, not directories, etc.
Directories are automatically stripped from this list when building a gem, other non-files cause an error.
Usage:
require 'rake' spec.files = FileList['lib/**/*.rb', 'bin/*', '[A-Z]*'].to_a spec.files = Dir['lib/**/*.rb'] + Dir['bin/*'] spec.files += Dir['[A-Z]*'] spec.files.reject! { |fn| fn.include? "CVS" }Specification internals ↑ top Attributes
