Gems Install All Dependencies Option

[Trans]

Is there a way, or can a way be made to install all dependencies
without it asking for each an everyone?

Thanks,
T.

 

[Francois Paul]

gem install GEMNAME --include-dependencies

 

[Jim Weirich]

gem install GEMNAME --include-dependencies

Hi --

Is there a way, or can a way be made to install all dependencies
without it asking for each an everyone?

gem install -y

(equivalent to some longer one I can't remember

You know what would be nice?
An 'a' for 'all' option along with [yn] when choosing the first gem.

Or, for it to default to install dependencies.

As it is, my choices now are:
a) Remember to use a command-line argument for what I consider the
desired default behavior, or
b) As soon as a dependency crops up (and I have no idea if it's the
only one or 1/100) cancel out and then start over.

There is also the UNIX way:

yes | gem install GEMNAME

There is also the UNIX way:

yes | gem install GEMNAME

wow... I didn't know that existed. Cool!

It doesn't exist on all unix flavours.
If you haven't got it then:


#!/bin/sh
message=$*
while true
do
echo ${message:=yes}
done


Or, more on topic for this list


#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -w
if ARGV.length == 0
message = ["yes"]
else
message = ARGV
end
while true
print "#{message.join(' ')}\n"
# sleep 1
end

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -w
if ARGV.length == 0
message = ["yes"]
else
message = ARGV
end
while true
print "#{message.join(' ')}\n"
# sleep 1
end

SCNR:

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -w
ARGV[0] ||= "yes"
message = ARGV.join(' ')
loop do
puts message
# sleep 1
end
