From: shevegen@... Date: 2018-03-03T17:33:40+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:85909] [Ruby trunk Bug#14572] Gem::Text methods not available Issue #14572 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). Yes, I would not have known myself if havenwood would not have pointed out to me, a few years ago, that levensthein-calculation exists within the Gem namespace (I make use of it in one gem that deals with bioinformatics of some sorts; there the levensthein distance can be useful to assess differences between nucleotide/aminoacid sequences). I think this is not a bug but more like a suggestion to enhance the documentation - perhaps one or two examples could be added. PS: The Gem namespace has quite a few nifty things; I especially like Gem::Version.new() to compare version of programs, and if you ever need the registered licenses, you can use Gem::Licenses::IDENTIFIERS - there is a lot of useful stuff within Gem; finding them is not always trivial though. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14572: Gem::Text methods not available https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14572#change-70763 * Author: svnpenn (Steven Penny) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/rubygems/rdoc/Gem/Text.html none of these work because they are private? see example here of workaround http://stackoverflow.com/a/46029581 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
