Problem with rubygems and rake creating a new gem

Hæ,
I’ve updated rubygems to the last version since it was necessary for
another library and now I cannot create the gem file for my framework.

What I have is a rakefile.rb:
require ‘rubygems’
Gem::manage_gems

require ‘rake/gempackagetask’

spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|
s.platform = Gem::Platform::RUBY
s.name = “BxWW”
s.version = “1.3.0”
s.author = “Mario R.”
s.email = “[email protected]
s.summary = “blabla blabla”
s.files = FileList[‘src/**/*’].to_a
s.require_path = “.”
s.has_rdoc = true
end

Rake::GemPackageTask.new(spec) do |pkg|
pkg.need_tar = true
end

task :default => “build/#{spec.name}-#{spec.version}.gem” do
puts “generated latest version”
end

And then I run in command line: rake gem

It was working for me before but now this error is displayed: rake
aborted! undefined method ‘manage_gems’ for Gem::Module.
I was taking a look at google and I found out Gem::manage_gems is
unsupported now and should be changed for require ‘rubygems/builder’ but
then the error is: rake aborted! undefined method ‘empty?’ for
nil:NilClass

Any idea???

Thanks in advance. :slight_smile:

RubyGems 1.3.2 removed Gem::manage_gems:

http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3166

It had been deprecated and was giving warnings for some time now.

Also, you should use Gem::PackageTask instead of Rake’s GemPackage task.

I’ve fixed it for you:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘rubygems/packagetask’

spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|
s.name = “BxWW”
s.version = “1.3.0”
s.author = “Mario R.”
s.email = “[email protected]
s.summary = “blabla blabla”
s.description = “FIX”
s.homepage = “FIX”
s.files = FileList[‘src/**/*’].to_a
s.require_path = “.”
end

Gem::PackageTask.new(spec) do |pkg|
pkg.need_tar = true
end

task :default => “build/#{spec.name}-#{spec.version}.gem” do
puts “generated latest version”
end

I’ve fixed it moar:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘hoe’
require ‘./lib/BxWW.rb’

Hoe.new(‘BxWW’, BxWW::VERSION) do |bxww|
bxww.developer(‘Mario R.’, ‘[email protected]’)
end

Thanks Eric,

When I try your code…
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
gem_original_require': no such file to load -- rubygems/packagetask (LoadError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:inrequire’
from rakefile.rb:2

Ok it works if I require ‘rubygems/package_task’

Thanks.

Sorry Ryan I don’t understand what your are proposing, I don’t have a
BxWW.rb file

Luckily, that is just a string and easy for you to fix.

I also fixed your email so that full context was available again and
provided instructions for further mailing list correspondence:
