OpenGem: A Handy Gem Plugin

Just thought folks might be interested in OpenGem. It’s a little ruby gem plugin that lets you type in: gem open rails and open it up right in your editor. If you’re curious about writing a plugin for ruby gems it’s probably a decent starting place.

Wow… closing tag fail. Sorry folks.

I really wanted this to work since I can never remember the right path to my gems directory, but It isn’t working for me…

$ sudo gem install adamsanderson-open_gem Password: Successfully installed adamsanderson-open_gem-1.0.0 1 gem installed $ gem open rails ERROR: While executing gem … (RuntimeError) Unknown command open

fwiw: $ gem -v 1.3.1

semanticart: Plugins only work on 1.3.2+.

thanks, Peter!

Just to make life simpler for anyone else having issues. To upgrade RubyGems:

gem update --system

I always forget the code and have to look it up myself.. :)

C:>gem open watir Either set $EDITOR, or use -c

How do set the editor and not sure what to use in the -c option?

If I type in “gem open open_gem”, will the universe implode?
