Install

$ npm install @webhippie/semantic-release-rubygem -D

Usage

The plugin can be configured in the semantic-release configuration file:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    [
      "@webhippie/semantic-release-rubygem",
      {
        "gemPublish": true
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Configuration

Rubygems authentication

The Rubygems authentication configuration is required. The API key must be set using the GEM_HOST_API_KEY environment variable. To retrieve the key, you can:

  1. Login to Rubygems.org and click on 'Edit Profile'. You'll find the key in the 'API Access' section of the page.
  2. Open a terminal on your machine and sign in using the gem signin command. After you enter your credentials, your API key will be stored as a YAML value in the ~/.gem/credentials file under the rubygems_api_key key.

Gemspec file

This plugin requires exactly one valid .gemspec file to be present in the current working directory.

lib/**/version.rb file

This plugin requires the version of the published gem to be defined in a version.rb file somewhere in the lib folder (e.g. lib/mygem/version.rb). The version itself must be defined as a constant named VERSION inside the file:

module Mygem
  VERSION = '0.0.0'.freeze
end
