Cocoapods: Can’t use CocoaPods 1.0.0.beta.1, the pod command is still loading the previous version

[0xced]

I just installed CocoaPods 1.0.0.beta.1 with gem install cocoapods --pre but I can’t use it. When I run the pod command it keeps using version 0.39.0

Not sure if it’s a CocoaPods issue or a RubyGems issue.

Interesting, I wonder if this is rubygems prioritising released versions over pre-releases in their resolving. I'm pretty sure there's a way to say which version of a command you want in the command, but I can't find the docs for this yet.

[0xced]

It used to work fine with pre-release of 0.3x versions, but I did not have a sudo-less gem installation. I wonder if it’s because of version 1.x or if my gem setup is broken.

[0xced]

I can workaround this issue by running

$ pod _1.0.0.beta.1_ --version
1.0.0.beta.1

Stack Overflow to the rescue once again! How can I call an older version of a gem from the commandline?

[orta]

It's possible that you've updated your rubygems gem since then, which may include mollinillo which could cause this, at a guess

[segiddins]

Nah. Running pre-release binaries without specifying the version used to be broken in older RubyGems versions, I just fixed it recently.

I also installed CocoaPods 1.0.0.beta.6 with gem install cocoapods --pre but I can’t use it. When I run the pod command it keeps using version 0.39.0

$ gem install cocoapods --pre
Successfully installed cocoapods-1.0.0.beta.6
1 gem installed

then i used:-

$ pod --version
0.39.0

I don't know how can i use _1.0.0.beta.6_

thanks,

[segiddins]

This is a rubygems issue @Maheepk -- you can use pod _1.0.0.beta.6_ --version for now, or update to RubyGems 2.6.3.

[0xced]

The issue for me was that I had two ruby installations, the OS X one and ruby 2.2 that I had installed through MacPorts. After uninstalling ruby 2.2 from MacPorts and reinstalling all my gems, I was able to use the 1.0.0.beta version without having to explicitly specify the the version.

[Maheepk]

Yes, i upgraded my ruby version now it works for me. thanks @segiddins :)

Remove old gem versions
RubyGems keeps old versions of gems, so feel free to do some cleaning after updating:

$ gem cleanup
