Publish gem on release

[JakeGinnivan]

@johnsimons looks like the only way to make this work is to have an API key in a file, would you be able to set this up?

http://guides.rubygems.org/command-reference/#gem-push

[johnsimons]

Can't u commit the API key file?

[SimonCropp]

committing the API key means anyone can replace the gem. better to add it to teamcity as an encrypted property

[JakeGinnivan]

Not sure it can be passed to the publish method as a parameter :( think it only works with a file in user profile.. Dumb

According to the doco:

-k, -​-key KEYNAME - Use the given API key from ~/.gem/credentials

So doesn't this mean that we actually need to install gem on the build server + install the certificate in the store (http://guides.rubygems.org/command-reference/#gem-cert)

Please update the gem to 1.3.3!

@JakeGinnivan did we get anywhere with this one? I have never played with gem's, so don't know where to start, but was thinking couldn't we add the build step to take the encrypted variable from TeamCity, write it to a file in the right place, and then tidy up afterwards? A bit of a cludge, but just a thought.

Owners are particular and @danielmarbach - so yeah, they need to get an API key and put in as a password parameter in teamcity. Then we can just gem push. Instructions at http://guides.rubygems.org/publishing/#publishing-to-rubygemsorg

Bump, can someone make this happen?
