allow ruby switching

allow switching of ruby versions

[ghost]

@mpapis inadvertent closure. This is for rvm-gem and NOT rvm. I read my Inbox too fast. I apologize.

I also deleted my previous response, it was inappropriate to rvm-gem.

[mpapis]

from #2:

you can not change the loaded ruby version and you try to switch to 1.8.7 from 1.9.2 - this will not work, what you need is a possibility to select any ruby and allow running commands in context of this ruby, please open a new ticket for it

[hbarrington]

@mpapis thanks for the additional explanation. I was in a rush but wanted to get it up before leaving. Are there leads for how one might approach this problem?

[mpapis]

it requires changes in code, depending on the implementation it might require additional libraries.

you could write some examples of what you need like:

RVM.with "1.9.3" do |e|
  e.run "echo $MY_RUBY_HOME"
end

also some details would be good:

• do you want to run rvm inside
• do you want to have cd handling inside for project files
• do you want to persist environment between two calls to run

@deryldoucette any more questions after experiences with rvm-test ?

[hbarrington]

persistent environment between two calls to run makes sense. I won't personally be needing cd but I could see others needing it. I'm not sure what you mean by running rvm inside... can you give an example?

the code block that you gave as an example would be great!

[hbarrington]

@mpapis let me know if you need more information

[mpapis]

I'm sorry for the delay, I'm on conference right now, will have a look into it starting from Monday.

[hbarrington]

@mpapis not at all! I appreciate the help and look forward to being able to use it. Thanks

[hbarrington]

@mpapis any luck? thanks again

@hbarrington just got back from the conference, this feature has lower prio, it will take few days to find time for it (there is 15 other bugs waiting to be solved for RVM: https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues?direction=desc&milestone=15&sort=created&state=open)

[hbarrington]

@mpapis completely understand. Thanks. I just needed to know where to spend my time coding and what the timeframe may or may not look like. It's greatly appreciated sir

[mpapis]

I have created it as a separate gem: https://github.com/mpapis/rvm-with
