rake install not including all files

[gw]

First crack at making a gem, jeweler, and not all that familar with
rake either.

I created a new gem using the jeweler command. Fairly simple gem with
a few files that add some convenience methods to bare Ruby classes.

So, I have /lib/gw_extensions.rb which requires all my files using the
typical: require 'extensions_array.rb'

I also have a CHANGELOG.rdoc file, and I've modified this line to
include it:
rdoc.rdoc_files.include('README.rdoc', 'LICENSE', 'CHANGELOG.rdoc')

Problem when I "rake install" none of my files like /lib/
extensions_array.rb are installed, and the CHANGELOG file is not
installed either.

Stumped. Ideas? Thx.

Is your gem a git repository? I think it needs to be...I don't remember exactly but I had a similar issue.

Is it related to the .documents file that Jeweler creates by default? (Which I always delete straight away) Apparently the gemspec builds a file list from that automatically...

Jeweler will populate your gemspec with files it finds in git by default. Make sure to `git add` any uncommitted files.

Or, you can also manage these yourself:

Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gemspec|

  # your original stuff here

  gemspec.files.include "lib/**"

  gemspec.files.include "README"

  gemspec.files.include "LICENSE"

  gemspec.files.include "ChangeLog.rdoc"

end

At this point, `rake install` should have the files you were looking for.

I figured there had to be a way to do that, but I wasn't getting the
syntax details correct.

Thanks.

And just for the record this worked too:
gem.files.include('lib/**/*.rb')
