Gem::Uninstaller

An Uninstaller.

The uninstaller fires pre and post uninstall hooks. Hooks can be added either through a rubygems_plugin.rb file in an installed gem or via a rubygems/defaults/#{RUBY_ENGINE}.rb or rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb file. See Gem.pre_uninstall and Gem.post_uninstall for details.

Attributes

bin_dir[R]

The directory a gem’s executables will be installed into

gem_home[R]

The gem repository the gem will be installed into

spec[R]

The Gem::Specification for the gem being uninstalled, only set during uninstall_gem

Public Instance Methods

path_ok?(gem_dir, spec)

Is spec in gem_dir?

 
               # File rubygems/uninstaller.rb, line 281
def path_ok?(gem_dir, spec)
  full_path     = File.join gem_dir, 'gems', spec.full_name
  original_path = File.join gem_dir, 'gems', spec.original_name

  full_path == spec.full_gem_path || original_path == spec.full_gem_path
end

remove(spec)

spec: the spec of the gem to be uninstalled
list: the list of all such gems

Warning: this method modifies the list parameter. Once it has uninstalled a gem, it is removed from that list.

 
               # File rubygems/uninstaller.rb, line 240
def remove(spec)
  unless path_ok?(@gem_home, spec) or
         (@user_install and path_ok?(Gem.user_dir, spec)) then
    e = Gem::GemNotInHomeException.new              "Gem '#{spec.full_name}' is not installed in directory #{@gem_home}"
    e.spec = spec

    raise e
  end

  Gem::RDoc.new(spec).remove

  say "Successfully uninstalled #{spec.full_name}"

  Gem::Specification.reset
end

remove_all(list)

Removes all gems in list.

NOTE: removes uninstalled gems from list.

 
               # File rubygems/uninstaller.rb, line 229
def remove_all(list)
  list.each { |spec| uninstall_gem spec }
end

remove_executables(spec)

Removes installed executables and batch files (windows only) for gemspec.

def remove_executables(spec)
  return if spec.nil? or spec.executables.empty?

  executables = spec.executables.clone

  # Leave any executables created by other installed versions
  # of this gem installed.

  }

    end
  else

  end
end

uninstall()

Performs the uninstall of the gem. This removes the spec, the Gem directory, and the cached .gem file.

    if index == list.size then
      remove_all list

  end
end

uninstall_gem(spec)

Uninstalls gem spec

  unless dependencies_ok? spec
    if abort_on_dependent? || !ask_if_ok(spec)
      raise Gem::DependencyRemovalException,
        "Uninstallation aborted due to dependent gem(s)"
    end
  end
