class Gem::Dependency

The Dependency class holds a Gem name and a Gem::Requirement.

Constants

TYPES

Valid dependency types.

Attributes

name [RW]

Dependency name or regular expression.

prerelease [W]

Allows you to force this dependency to be a prerelease.

Public Class Methods

new (name, *requirements)

Constructs a dependency with name and requirements. The last argument can optionally be the dependency type, which defaults to :runtime.

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 36
def initialize(name, *requirements)
  case name
  when String then # ok
  when Regexp then
    msg = ["NOTE: Dependency.new w/ a regexp is deprecated.",
           "Dependency.new called from #{Gem.location_of_caller.join(":")}"]
    warn msg.join("\n") unless Gem::Deprecate.skip
  else
    raise ArgumentError,
          "dependency name must be a String, was #{name.inspect}"
  end

  type         = Symbol === requirements.last ? requirements.pop : :runtime
  requirements = requirements.first if requirements.length == 1 # unpack

  unless TYPES.include? type
    raise ArgumentError, "Valid types are #{TYPES.inspect}, " \
                         "not #{type.inspect}"
  end

  @name        = name
  @requirement = Gem::Requirement.create requirements
  @type        = type
  @prerelease  = false

  # This is for Marshal backwards compatibility. See the comments in
  # +requirement+ for the dirty details.

  @version_requirements = @requirement
end

Public Instance Methods

<=> (other)

Dependencies are ordered by name.

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 178
def <=>(other)
  name <=> other.name
end
=== (other)
Alias for: =~
=~ (other)

Uses this dependency as a pattern to compare to other. This dependency will match if the name matches the other’s name, and other has only an equal version requirement that satisfies this dependency.

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 188
def =~(other)
  unless Gem::Dependency === other
    return unless other.respond_to?(:name) && other.respond_to?(:version)
    other = Gem::Dependency.new other.name, other.version
  end

  return false unless name === other.name

  reqs = other.requirement.requirements

  return false unless reqs.length == 1
  return false unless reqs.first.first == "="

  version = reqs.first.last

  requirement.satisfied_by? version
end
Also aliased as: ===
identity ()
# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 327
def identity
  if prerelease?
    if specific?
      :complete
    else
      :abs_latest
    end
  elsif latest_version?
    :latest
  else
    :released
  end
end
latest_version? ()

Is this dependency simply asking for the latest version of a gem?

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 94
def latest_version?
  @requirement.none?
end
match? name → true or false
match? name, version → true or false
match? spec → true or false

Does this dependency match the specification described by name and version or match spec?

NOTE: Unlike matches_spec? this method does not return true when the version is a prerelease version unless this is a prerelease dependency.

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 220
def match?(obj, version=nil, allow_prerelease=false)
  if !version
    name = obj.name
    version = obj.version
  else
    name = obj
  end

  return false unless self.name === name

  version = Gem::Version.new version

  return true if requirement.none? && !version.prerelease?
  return false if version.prerelease? &&
                  !allow_prerelease &&
                  !prerelease?

  requirement.satisfied_by? version
end
matches_spec? (spec)

Does this dependency match spec?

NOTE: This is not a convenience method. Unlike match? this method returns true when spec is a prerelease version even if this dependency is not a prerelease dependency.

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 247
def matches_spec?(spec)
  return false unless name === spec.name
  return true  if requirement.none?

  requirement.satisfied_by?(spec.version)
end
matching_specs (platform_only = false)
# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 273
def matching_specs(platform_only = false)
  matches = Gem::Specification.find_all_by_name(name, requirement)

  if platform_only
    matches.reject! do |spec|
      spec.nil? || !Gem::Platform.match_spec?(spec)
    end
  end

  matches
end
merge (other)

Merges the requirements of other into this dependency

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 257
def merge(other)
  unless name == other.name
    raise ArgumentError,
          "#{self} and #{other} have different names"
  end

  default = Gem::Requirement.default
  self_req = requirement
  other_req = other.requirement

  return self.class.new name, self_req  if other_req == default
  return self.class.new name, other_req if self_req  == default

  self.class.new name, self_req.as_list.concat(other_req.as_list)
end
prerelease? ()

Does this dependency require a prerelease?

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 86
def prerelease?
  @prerelease || requirement.prerelease?
end
requirement ()

What does this dependency require?

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 116
def requirement
  return @requirement if defined?(@requirement) && @requirement

  # @version_requirements and @version_requirement are legacy ivar
  # names, and supported here because older gems need to keep
  # working and Dependency doesn't implement marshal_dump and
  # marshal_load. In a happier world, this would be an
  # attr_accessor. The horrifying instance_variable_get you see
  # below is also the legacy of some old restructurings.
  #
  # Note also that because of backwards compatibility (loading new
  # gems in an old RubyGems installation), we can't add explicit
  # marshaling to this class until we want to make a big
  # break. Maybe 2.0.
  #
  # Children, define explicit marshal and unmarshal behavior for
  # public classes. Marshal formats are part of your public API.

  # REFACTOR: See above

  if defined?(@version_requirement) && @version_requirement
    version = @version_requirement.instance_variable_get :@version
    @version_requirement = nil
    @version_requirements = Gem::Requirement.new version
  end

  @requirement = @version_requirements if defined?(@version_requirements)
end
requirements_list ()
# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 145
def requirements_list
  requirement.as_list
end
runtime? ()
# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 164
def runtime?
  @type == :runtime || !@type
end
specific? ()

True if the dependency will not always match the latest version.

# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 288
def specific?
  @requirement.specific?
end
to_spec ()
# File lib/rubygems/dependency.rb, line 312
def to_spec

  active = matches.find(&:activated?)
  return active if active

  unless prerelease?
    # Consider prereleases only as a fallback

    matches = pre if matches.empty?
