Missing Ruby Version on ASDF


I am trying to install Ruby 2.7.7 via asdf but the latest version appears to be 2.7.6. Anyone happen to know how to support a new Ruby version on asdf?

Available Ruby 2.7.x versions

Tried installing Ruby 2.7.7, expected version to be available.


Solution

  • The asdf-ruby plugin uses ruby-build to actually build Ruby versions. To be able to install new Ruby versions, ruby-build needs to be updated.

    You can set the desired ruby-build version by setting the ASDF_RUBY_BUILD_VERSION environment variable to the desired version before invoking asdf.

    Alternatively, you can also update your asdf-ruby plugin to use the current ruby-build version on every invocation as they have updated the plugin to use the current ruby-build version by default in asdf-vm/asdf-ruby#317.

    This can be done with either

    asdf plugin update --all
    

    or

    asdf plugin update ruby
    

    to just update the ruby plugin.
