ERROR: While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption) invalid option: --no-rdoc

While running the command pgxn install pgxn_utils

Getting the error:

How to solve this?

Solution

  • Yeah, so like rdoc and ri options were deprecated in favor of document 12 years ago, and then removed 5 years ago in rubygems 3 (ruby 2.6). pgxn_utils is still using them, and so failing for you.

    Probably you could give them a pull request to update it (and/or just fork it, fix it, and use your fork), or downgrade your ruby to pre 2.6.
