Public Instance Methods

full_name() click to toggle source

The name and version of the specification.

Unlike Gem::Specification#full_name, the platform is not included.

 
               # File rubygems/resolver/specification.rb, line 70
def full_name
  "#{@name}-#{@version}"
end

install(options = {}) click to toggle source

Installs this specification using the Gem::Installer options. The install method yields a Gem::Installer instance, which indicates the gem will be installed, or nil, which indicates the gem is already installed.

After installation spec is updated to point to the just-installed specification.

 
               # File rubygems/resolver/specification.rb, line 83
def install options = {}
  require 'rubygems/installer'

  destination = options[:install_dir] || Gem.dir

  Gem.ensure_gem_subdirectories destination

  gem = source.download spec, destination

  installer = Gem::Installer.new gem, options

  yield installer if block_given?

  @spec = installer.install
end

installable_platform?() click to toggle source

Returns true if this specification is installable on this platform.

 
               # File rubygems/resolver/specification.rb, line 102
def installable_platform?
  Gem::Platform.match spec.platform
end
