What gems are in the default gemset for Ruby 2.0.0-p247?

By accident I ran rvm gemset empty default.

Can someone list all gems from gemset default for ruby-2.0.0-p247 so I can reinstall them manually?

Thanks!

Solution

  • Don't worry, it's still possible to restore all your gems:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

CURRENT_GEMSET=$( rvm current )
CACHE_FOLDER=~/.rvm/gems/$CURRENT_GEMSET/cache
CACHED_GEMS=$CACHE_FOLDER/*.gem

for gem_file in $CACHED_GEMS
do
  GEM_FILES=$GEM_FILES' '$gem_file
done

gem install $GEM_FILES

    You may take a look at ~/.rvm/gems/$( rvm current )/cache folder first. All gems should be there.

    Edit:

    rvm gemset empty

    Removes all the installed gems for gemset. But gems are still in ~/.rvm/gems/$( rvm current )/cache folder(e.g. ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/cache, ~/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.7.3@my_gemset/cache) and you are still able to install them.

    A bit of explanations regarding script:

    1. rvm current Print the current Ruby version and the name of any gemset being used(from rvm usage current). You may invoke rvm gemset use first in order to choose gemset you want to restore.
    2. ~/.rvm/gems/$( rvm current )/cache is a cache folder for current gemset and is the same as $GEM_HOME/cache.
    3. ~/.rvm/gems/$( rvm current )/cache/*.gem is a regexp for gems in cache folder.

    4. Loop through the file names and concatenate them into a single string

      for gem_file in $CACHED_GEMS
do
  GEM_FILES=$gem_file' '$GEM_FILES
done

    5. gem install $GEM_FILES reinstalls you gems.
