Gem does not build on Rubygems 2.5.X with certain versions of Ruby #48

Closed pedrocunha closed 8 years ago

If I try to install git-whistles under ruby 2.3.0 (pristine machine) I get the following error:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Package::PathError)`

@martyphee does also get the same problem when installing the gem under 2.2.3. I can't replicate that.

After some investigation looks like the culprit is the latest RubyGems version 2.5. This is the offending PR: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/1209 which broke the support of symlinks in the gem files.

For now it doesn't seem a problem that be solved in git-whistles and the solution is to downgrade ruby gems. I've tried with 2.4.8 and works fine.

Managed to fix the problem by compiling the gem under ruby 2.2.4. I've pushed to rubygems git-whistles 1.0.2 which I've confirmed locally that does install correctly on ruby 2.3.

Looks go to me! I'll try to get the PR creator this week.
