How do I find out which gem has a specific depende

问题:

I commented out a gem, but 'bundle install' still won't run. How do I find out which gem has a dependency on sys-proctable?

$ bundle install

$ grep proctable Gemfile
  #gem 'sys-proctable', '0.9.2', :path => "vendor/gems"

$ bundle list

I've already tried these troubleshooting steps: https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/blob/1-2-stable/ISSUES.md

回答1:

In the bash shell you can do:

gem dependency name_of_the_gem --reverse-dependencies, for instance:

gem  dependency  activesupport --reverse-dependencies                               
Gem activesupport-2.3.14
Used by
actionpack-2.3.14 (activesupport (= 2.3.14))
activerecord-2.3.14 (activesupport (= 2.3.14))
activeresource-2.3.14 (activesupport (= 2.3.14))
...

I know this answer includes a link, but this is not a link specific answer

You can always check the reverse dependencies of a gem on rubygems.org. There's a link on the right side panel on the website.

Or you can visit the site

https://rubygems.org/gems/{gem_name}/reverse_dependencies

So, in your case

https://rubygems.org/gems/sys-proctable/reverse_dependencies
