Gem list vs sudo -u apache gem list

Ruby
#1

can you reproduce this:

  1. gem install rubyXL
  2. gem list -> ruby XL is installed.
  3. sudo -u apache gem list -> rubyXL does not show up!

all other gems work fine and will show either with

gem list

or with

sudo -u apache gem list

This is very strange.

Tested with ruby-1.9.3, rubygems 2.3.0

Just to be clear: I did not install the gems using sudo.

This helped:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
sudo -u apache /usr/local/bin/gem install rubyXL
sudo -u apache /usr/local/bin/gem content rubyXL

This is only about listing the gems, and the inconsistency that comes
with it.

Ok, the simplest solution is to just install all the gems using “sudo”.
Then they will show up for all the other users as well.
