Upgrading to ZenTest 3.6.0 using RubyGemsEdit

Created , updated

These notes were made while performing the upgrade to ZenTest 3.6.0 on Mac OS X Tiger via RubyGems.

Upgrading

The normal upgrade technique:

sudo gem install ZenTest

Didn’t work:

Need to update 32 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org
................................
complete
Install required dependency hoe? [Yn]  Y
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OpenURI::HTTPError)
    404 Not Found

Explicitly doing a sudo gem install hoe yielded the same error. I checked and the latest released version of hoe appears to be hoe 1.2.1, which I already have installed. So I decided to procede anyway without installing the dependency; to my surprise it failed before even asking me about the dependency:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OpenURI::HTTPError)
    404 Not Found

So I decided to download the gem from RubyForge:

wget "http://files.rubyforge.mmmultiworks.com/zentest/ZenTest-3.6.0.gem"

Output:

And install it manually:

sudo gem install ZenTest-3.6.0.gem

Output:

RSpec update

At the same time I upgraded to the latest release of RSpec, RSpec 1.0.3. See "Upgrading to RSpec 1.0.3 on Mac OS X Tiger".

Cleaning up older versions

Normally older versions could be cleaned up using sudo gem cleanup as described in "Removing older versions of installed gems". This won’t work for ZenTest because up until ZenTest 3.5.0 the gem was named zentest-3.5.0 (all lowercase) whereas subsequent versions where named in CamelCase (ZenTest-3.6.0). As such, doing a sudo gem cleanup will leave both ZenTest 3.6.0 and ZenTest 3.5.0 on your system; it is necessary to manually uninstall ZenTest 3.5.0 in this case:

# explicitly specify version, just in case
sudo gem uninstall zentest --version '3.5.0'

Output

Successfully uninstalled zentest version 3.5.0
