Nothing known about… when trying ri String#upcase Ruby

问题


I have just installed the RVM and I am reading The Well-Grounded Rubyist book. In the first chapter I am supposed to try ri String#upcase to view documentation on the upcase method, however I get a message saying:

Nothing known about String#upcase

I found some posts here on SO telling me that it probably is because RDoc is not installed. However I do not understand how to fix it.

I am using Mac OSX 10.6, and latest RVM. I have only installed 1.9.2, in addition to the standard Ruby interpreter which come along with the Developer kit from Apple.


回答1:


Did you generate the docs?

rvm docs generate

https://rvm.io/rubies/docs/




回答2:


RDoc is installed, I'm not sure why that particular lookup does not work. Perhaps somebody else can shed some light on that.

However, if you just need to find out about how to use particular parts of the API, you can't go wrong with a google search. All of the Rdoc documentation is available online from numerous locations.

Here's String#upcase for example: http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/String.html#M001155




回答3:


It might be that docs aren't working because you're using the latest ruby version, 2.1, in which rvm has some problems. It doesn't generate docs, thus you can't retrieve the docs with ri.

**Error: **

Your ruby version 2.1.2 is not supported, only 1.8.7, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, 2.0.0
