Working With Rails

A Gems

This is a small plugin that helps with Ruby Gem management for your application. It will automatically include all gem/lib paths into the $LOAD_PATH on startup.

To freeze gems:

$ rake gems:freeze GEM=tzinfo
(in /path/to/app)
rm -rf vendor/tzinfo-0.1.2
cd /path/to/app/config/../vendor
mkdir -p tzinfo-0.1.2
Unpacked tzinfo 0.1.2 to 'tzinfo-0.1.2'
cd -

Be sure to require them in your environment.rb if you want them available.

$ script/console
Loading development environment.
>> TZInfo
NameError: uninitialized constant TZInfo
>> require 'Tzinfo'
=> true
>> TZInfo
=> TZInfo

You can also freeze specific versions:

rake gems:freeze GEM=tzinfo VERSION=0.1.2
