Cannot update to current Squib gem on Windows 10
XCompWiz opened this issue · 3 comments
I've been using squib for all kinds of things, and I really love it. :D It's surprisingly versatile. I even used it for my wedding placecards!
I tried updating to a more current squib version on my computer, and that fails.
Current squib version: 0.14.2
Ruby version: 2.5.5p157
Error from `gem up squib`

Have you tried using Ruby 2.6 or 2.7?
I have not. Has the minimum Ruby version changed? I can try that when I next try to update.
I'll also check if the compilation tools are properly in place in my set up, as that was an issue in the image set up.
I feel like the install/set up instruction should fail more gracefully or at least inform of the missing tools, but I don't know if that's a Ruby issue or something Squib can do anything about.
According to my latest builds it does work on Ruby 2.5 for Ubuntu and MacOS.
I don't have the build server configured for Windows yet, but I personally am using Ruby 2.6 on Windows. I got it from here, and I got the version with DevKit (which is required for Squib, and really most Ruby gems since it will compile gems with native C extensions). My guess is that you have the Windows Ruby without DevKit.
FYI on Christmas 2020, Ruby 3.0 is coming out. The compatibility changes are tiny, so I would plan on upgrading to that. Squib will work on 3.0, and the Windows build for 3.0 will probably come out around then (sometimes there's a lag).
