activate_bin_path

v2_4_6 - Show latest stable - Class: Gem

activate_bin_path(name, exec_name, requirement)

public

Find the full path to the executable for gem name. If the exec_name is not given, the gem’s default_executable is chosen, otherwise the specified executable’s path is returned. requirements allows you to specify specific gem versions.

A side effect of this method is that it will activate the gem that contains the executable.

This method should only be used in bin stub files.
