gem install pry-doc with ruby 2.x (I think older rubies too) gets hundreds of "unable to convert" messages while parsing documentation; console excerpt below:

Try this: gem install pry-doc --no-ri --no-rdoc. The problem is that it tries to parse Ruby docs in a .dat file (it doesn't contain Ruby source code).

Sorry, I may be misunderstanding something, but doesn't that give the same result as just ignoring the errors?

Also, do I correctly understand you to be saying that there is a flaw in rubygems, and that it should ignore the .dat file?

I have never investigated it properly, so I can't be sure in anything.

brandondrew commented 10 years ago

Okay, thanks.
