Bug #2689: rdoc gem on 1.9.2 fails for interactive(-i) ri

• Status: Closed

Sorry if this has been already signaled, I didn't see.

So, doing a simple 'ri Fixnum':
~ $> export RI='--no-pager -i'
~ $> ri Fixnum

Without the gem, all is good

But with rdoc gem:

~ $> gem install rdoc
Successfully installed rdoc-2.4.3
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for rdoc-2.4.3...
Installing RDoc documentation for rdoc-2.4.3...
~ $> which ri
.../ruby-1.9.2-head/bin/ri # It's still the same 'ri'

~ $> ri Fixnum
Updating ri class cache with 1764 classes...

Enter the method name you want to look up.
You can use tab to autocomplete.
Enter a blank line to exit.

Where is my documentation ?

Back to normal if I uninstall rdoc, with its binaries

That's quite an annoying bug, not so easy to track.
