Using --no-rdoc and --no-ri with bundler

Question

When using gem install gem_name I can pass --no-rdoc and --no-ri switches to skip generating RDoc/RI documentation for the gem on install.

Is there a similar way to do this with bundle install?

Solution 1

Make a file ~/.gemrc and put this in it:

gem: --no-rdoc --no-ri

That should make it apply whenever you run the gem command. (Even from bundle install)

Solution 2

Bundler doesn't include rdoc and ri. There is nothing you need to do.

Solution 3

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/7662245/109618 for a better ~/.gemrc:

install: --no-rdoc --no-ri 
update:  --no-rdoc --no-ri

Solution 4

The up-to-date setting for ~/.gemrc is

gem: --no-document

But as pointed out, this is already bundler's default.

should it be gem: --no-rdoc --no-ri or :gem: --no-rdoc --no-ri?

I copied and pasted what I have in my file, and that has been working for me for a while

Order doesn't matter, btw. It's a list of command line flags to pass to gem.

So I see I'm downvoted 5 times. Can anyone explain how I am wrong? Bundler does not include RDoc and RI files when you install gems using bundle install. People wanted this as a feature to allow you to install the documentation but they just don't allow it.

Timbinous is right. It is not only correct, it should be the accepted answer because it actually answers the question. Damn shame people are herd-downvoting a correct answer when they know nothing.

Just so I'm clear Cyril. When he asks is there a similar way to do this with bundle install? Telling him that bundler already does this for you by default is not actually solving his problem. He never had a problem to begin with. I was telling him that.

Works with gem 2.x

Since Ruby 2.5 "Merge RubyGems 3.0.1. The --ri and --rdoc options have been removed. Please use the --document and --no-document options instead.". All the other answers are outdated.
