| Running Back Versions of Gem-installed Applications | 04 Mar 05 | |
| [ print link all ] | ||
I keep forgetting that RubyGems has this capability. In this example, I
have 7 (yes, seven, really) versions of rake installed.
$ gem list --local rake
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
rake (0.4.15.1, 0.4.15, 0.4.14, 0.4.13, 0.4.12.1, 0.4.12, 0.4.4)
Ruby based make-like utility.
$
$ rake --version
rake, version 0.4.15.1
$
$ rake _0.4.12_ --version
rake, version 0.4.12
Since rake is installed as a gem, you can run the executable of any installed version. By default, gems will run the latest one. But if you wish to run an older version, gems will accomodate you. blog comments powered by Disqus | ||
