Manage radiant gems

Hello,

I would like to package my radiant app before deployment.
I created a gems/ folder under vendor/, and copy the gems which are in
the radiant vendor/ folder and others for my project.
Then, I added the following lines to environment.rb to load my new path
:

config.load_paths += Dir["#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/gems/**"].map do |dir|
File.directory?(lib = “#{dir}/lib”) ? lib : dir
end

But it doesn’t work, the radiant gems like ‘rubypants’ can’t be
loading… what is the best way to do that? Can you explain me?

Thank you !
Vincent

I’m not sure about this, but I think you’re supposed to freeze the
Radiant gem. It will take care of everything and put it under the
correct paths (I think vendor/radiant)

rake radiant:freeze:gems

Also, you can see if this helps:

Copy the radiant gem into your application, which will effectively
freeze the version of radiant you are using.
| cp -a ~/data/rubygems/gems/gems/radiant-0.6.6 vendor/radiant|

Cheers,

Hello,

Thanks for your quick answer, but I’m ‘unpacking’ the radiant gem to use
it as a project.
‘rake radiant:freeze:gems’ don’t do anything in my project.
In fact I would like to move the radiant gems dependencies in vendor/ to
vendor/gems/ and add my own gems.
Is there a way to do that or is it impossible?

Thanks a lot !
Vincent

You can follow Radiant’s lead and just expand them directly into vendor,
rather than vendor/gems. Radiant automatically adds those to the load
path.
