Hi there, I've recently made the plunge to use RVM on Ubuntu.
Everything seems to have gone swimmingly...except for one thing. I'm in the process of developing a gem of mine that has a script placed within its own bin/ directory, all of the gemspec and things were generated by Jeweler.
The bin/mygem file contains the following code: -
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
begin
require 'mygem'
rescue LoadError
require 'rubygems'
require 'mygem'
end
app = MyGem::Application.new
app.run
That was working fine on the system version of Ruby.
Now...recently I've moved to RVM to manage my ruby versions a bit better, except now my gem doesn't appear to be working.
Firstly I do this: -
rvm 1.9.2
Then I do this: -
rvm 1.9.2 gem install mygem
Which installs fine, except...when I try to run the command for mygem
mygem
I just get the following exception: -
daniel@daniel-VirtualBox:~$ mygem
<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file to load -- mygem (LoadError)
from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
from /home/daniel/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/mygem-0.1.4/bin/mygem:2:in `<top (required)>'
from /home/daniel/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/bin/mygem:19:in `load'
from /home/daniel/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/bin/mygem:19:in `<main>'mygem
NOTE: I have a similar RVM setup on MAC OSX and my gem works fine there so I think this might be something to do with Ubuntu?
