[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Plugin gems

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi,




If you just want to develop against a packaged version of ArchivesSpace, you can just use the scripts/initialize_plugins.sh <plugin name> script and it will install your gems.


Also, FYI and loop-back to something I talked with some folks at C4L, I just updated the initialize_plugins.sh script<https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/commit/11a55481a970d02f9ba5691577848550538ebbb6> to unset the GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH variables, which was causing problems with the Redis demo plugin I did ( a problem if you're using something like RVM or Chruby ).

I think that should fix it...no need to do a new update, you can just add those two UNSET lines to an existing script.


b,chris.

ArchivesSpace manages gems using bundler - and kind of a complicated bundler setup.

The best solution is, as far as I understand it, to put the gemfiles in the appropriate place in the plugin, and then run bundler against the relevant gemfile/gemfiles.

There's a build/run task called bundler, which would be run something like this:

./build/run bundler -Dgemfile=backend/Gemfile

Good morning,
I'm not exceedingly familiar with rails development. I'm making what should be a simple plugin, but I need a gem installed for it to work.
gem install works on the OS side, but when ArchivesSpace gets to my plugin, it doesn't find the gem with
require. What is the process of making ArchivesSpace aware of new gems for plugins? (Or rather, what is the correct way to do it?) This is for version 1.4.2.
Thank you for your time,
