After installing rbenv I need to add require 'rubygems'

Question

I replaced rvm with rbenv on my Macbook and after doing so I've needed to add require 'rubygems' to things to get them working.

Is there a way of forcing rubygems to be required, or removing the need for it?

Answer 1

For sanity reasons you should always require what you need. As rubygems is included by default in ruby 1.9 you should do something like:

require 'rubygems' unless defined?(Gem)

at the top of your script.
