Mechanism to auto-install/auto-update gem #23

Closed docwhat closed 7 years ago

docwhat commented 8 years ago

Currently, if the neovim gem is not installed, I get this message:

$ vim
function provider#ruby#Call[8]..remote#host#Require[13]..provider#ruby#Require, line 10
Vim(if):Channel was closed by the client
rbenv: neovim-ruby-host: command not found
Failed to load ruby host. You can try to see what happened by starting Neovim with the environment variable $NVIM_RUBY_LOG_FILE set to a file and opening the generated log file.Also, the host stderr is available in messages.
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Instead, it would be nice if it did something like:

$ vim
Your ruby is missing the neovim gem.  Attempting to install...
Successfully installed the neovim gem
Press ENTER or type command to continue

My configuration files

This is a great idea, although I'm not sure we want to make assumptions about the way people install rubygems. Since this would be mostly an nvim-side change anyway, would you mind reopening this as an issue on neovim to get some of their input? Feel free to mention me.
