Overview

Base class for all Gem commands. When creating a new gem command, define #initialize, #execute, #arguments, #defaults_str, #description and #usage (as appropriate). See the above mentioned methods for details.

A very good example to look at is Gem::Commands::ContentsCommand

Constructor Details

#initialize(command, summary = nil, defaults = {}) ⇒ Command

Initializes a generic gem command named command. summary is a short description displayed in ‘gem help commands`. defaults are the default options. Defaults should be mirrored in #defaults_str, unless there are none.

When defining a new command subclass, use add_option to add command-line switches.

Unhandled arguments (gem names, files, etc.) are left in options[:args].

#add_option(*opts, &handler) ⇒ Object

Add a command-line option and handler to the command.

See OptionParser#make_switch for an explanation of opts.

handler will be called with two values, the value of the argument and the options hash.

If the first argument of add_option is a Symbol, it’s used to group options in output. See ‘gem help list` for an example.

end

#arguments ⇒ Object
