Detect bundling origin in Gemfile

Question

I am trying to use RubyMine as much as possible and RubyMine sometimes to ask for gems which i'll not utilize for anything on myself (RubyMine does).

Is it possible to detect in Gemfile, that i am bundling from RubyMine? or in general: Is it possible to detect the tool i am bundling from (Terminal, iTerm, RubyMine, TeamCity)?

I know there is specificable platform of ruby as condition for gem. What i am looking for to put into my Gemfile is something like this:

tool :rubymine do
  gem 'minitest-reporters'
  gem 'ruby-debug'
end

In result when i'll run bundling from FOR EXAMPLE RubyMine, i'll get minitest-reporters and ruby-debug installed, BUT my colleague who does bundle from Terminal will NOT get these gems installed.

Answer 1

OK, here I found some ways to tell, that you are running from inside of RubyMine

(puts this into your Gemfile to test it)

puts [
        ORIGINAL_ENV['OLDPWD'],
        ORIGINAL_ENV['RM_INFO'],
        ORIGINAL_ENV['RUBYLIB'],
        ORIGINAL_ENV['RUBYMINE_TESTUNIT_REPORTER'],
        ORIGINAL_ENV['TEAMCITY_RAKE_RUNNER_MODE'],
        ORIGINAL_ENV['TEAMCITY_RAKE_RUNNER_USED_FRAMEWORKS'],
        ORIGINAL_ENV['XPC_SERVICE_NAME']
]

So for example this way I am able to install gems for RubyMine, only when it is really needed

group :development do
  # Access an IRB console on exception pages or by using <%= console %> anywhere in the code.
  gem 'web-console'
  gem 'listen', '~> 3.0.5'
  # Spring speeds up development by keeping your application running in the background. Read more: https://github.com/rails/spring
  gem 'spring'
  gem 'spring-watcher-listen', '~> 2.0.0'

  if ORIGINAL_ENV && ORIGINAL_ENV['TEAMCITY_RAKE_RUNNER_MODE']
    gem 'debase'
  end
end

Only bad thing is, that this will be changing Gemfile.lock

Answer 2

In general the answer to this is to install the extra gems with gem install instead of putting them in the Gemfile.

If RubyMine is relying on Bundler to be able to find those gems at runtime, I'd say that's a bug.
