How to fix ri documentation duplication in rvm

Here's what I want to do

ri Array

Simple, right?

Wrong!

More than one class or module matched your request. You can refine
your search by asking for information on one of:

    Array, TSortArray, Array, TSortArray

I am using RVM on Ubuntu Natty, default (and only ruby) is jruby 1.6.3

I have modified my .rvmrc to make ri documentation by default, thus

export rvm_gem_options=""

Beyond that, all is standard as far as I remember.

Ideas?

Solution

  • Limit RI to search only the documentation from Ruby's standard library

    ri --system Array

    or,

    add this to your .profile

    export RI="--system"

    But, then you don't get to see documentation for new gems...

    So, I tried not limiting RI...

    Just,

    gem rdoc --all

    Which seemed to work.

    But my final answer is,

    Update .gemrc to look a little like this

    install:  --remote --gen-rdoc --run-tests
update: --remote --gen-rdoc --run-tests
rdoc:  --all --inline-source --line-numbers --promiscuous --show-hash

    and .rvmrc

    export rvm_gem_options=""
