Today, we introduce new ways to install gems for RuboCop analysis.

Currently, Sider allows you to install RuboCop plugins and configuration gems via the gems option in sideci.yml.

linter:
  rubocop:
    gems:
      - name: "rubocop"
        version: "0.63.1"
      - name: "meowcop"
        version: "1.17.0"

In addition to the above, Sider now supports the following two ways to install gems.

Alternate RubyGems Repository

You can select an alternate RubyGems repository as a gem source via the source option.

linter:
  rubocop:
    gems:
      - name: "project-cop"
        version: "0.63.0"
        source: "https://gems.example.com"

Git Repository

You can also install a gem in a Git repository. Please note that the git option cannot be specified with version or source.

linter:
  rubocop:
    gems:
      - name: "owncop"
        git:
          repo: "https://github.com/myname/owncop.git"
          branch: "master"
      - name: "project-cop"
        git:
          repo: "git@github.com/org/project-cop.git"
          tag: "v0.63.0"

The repo option is required, and you must specify one of the following:

• branch
• tag
• ref

See documentation for details.

If you would like to install a gem located in a private Git repository, see private dependencies guide and configure your SSH key.
