Summary

build_gemspec, resolve_gems, install_single_gem, and install_gems_sequential in crates/prek/src/languages/ruby/gem.rs all spawn <ruby> -S gem .... Ruby's -S flag searches $PATH for the named script.

The rv-ruby tarballs that prek auto-downloads ship gem next to ruby in the same bin/ directory, but prek wasn't putting that directory on $PATH for these child commands. In environments without a system Ruby on PATH (e.g. a vanilla Docker image / CI container), the -S lookup fails and Ruby aborts with:

/<PREK_HOME>/tools/ruby/<version>/bin/ruby: No such file or directory -- gem (LoadError)

The first place this trips is build_gemspec (called from Ruby::install before install_gems), so the user-visible failure is Failed to install hook ...: Failed to build gemspecs. Once that's worked around, gem install --explain would fail identically — same root cause for all four call sites.

This is distinct from #2006 / #2017, which fixed missing gems/bin/ruby shim used at hook run time. The bug here is at hook install time and is not mitigated by 0.3.11 (gem.rs is unchanged across v0.3.10..v0.3.11).

Reproduction repo / context: filed as a separate issue with the full repro alongside this PR.

Fix

Prepend the resolved Ruby's bin dir to $PATH for every ruby -S gem invocation:

  • New ruby_path_env(&RubyResult) -> Result<OsString> helper that uses prek_consts::prepend_paths (same helper used by Ruby::run).
  • gem_env now takes &RubyResult in addition to gem_home and sets PATH alongside the existing GEM_HOME / BUNDLE_* / MAKEFLAGS env. Returns Result so the prepend_paths join error can propagate (vanishingly rare in practice).
  • build_gemspec doesn't have a GEM_HOME to set so it doesn't use gem_env, but it sets PATH directly via the same helper.

Test plan

  • cargo fmt --check -p prek — clean
  • cargo clippy -p prek --all-targets -- -D warnings — clean
  • cargo test -p prek --bin prek — 400 passed; 0 failed (existing unit tests, including all five languages::ruby::gem::tests::*)
  • New integration test: languages::ruby::auto_download_gem_install_without_gem_on_path (CI-only, mirrors the existing auto_download gating). It:
    • pins language_version: '3.2.9' to force prek to auto-download Ruby via rv-ruby (and asserts a tools/ruby/3.2.9* directory exists after the run);
    • drops a .gemspec into the local repo so build_gemspec runs;
    • sets additional_dependencies: ["webrick"] so resolve_gems (gem install --explain) and install_single_gem (gem install) run;
    • scrubs ruby and gem from $PATH via the existing remove_bin_from_path helper, so ruby -S gem ... only resolves if the resolved Ruby's bin dir is prepended (i.e. the test would have failed before this fix with the LoadError quoted above).

The pre-existing auto_download test only ran ruby --version and never hit gem; gemspec_workflow used language_version: system and so picked gem up from the system PATH. The new test combines auto-download + gem operations + scrubbed PATH to lock the regression in.

Manual verification of the failure mode (without this fix)

In a container with no system Ruby:

default_language_version:
    ruby: 3.2.1
repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/jumanjihouse/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: 3.0.0
    hooks:
      - id: rubocop
prek install-hooks
# error: Failed to install hook `rubocop`
#   caused by: Failed to build gemspecs
#   caused by: Command `gem build` exited with an error:
#   /.../tools/ruby/3.2.1/bin/ruby: No such file or directory -- gem (LoadError)

With this patch, prek prepends <ruby_prefix>/bin to $PATH, ruby -S gem resolves, and the install proceeds.

`build_gemspec`, `resolve_gems`, `install_single_gem` and
`install_gems_sequential` all spawn `<ruby> -S gem ...`. Ruby's `-S`
flag searches `$PATH` for the named script.

The rv-ruby tarballs that prek auto-downloads ship `gem` next to
`ruby` in the same `bin/` directory, but prek wasn't putting that
directory on `$PATH` for these child commands. In environments
without a system Ruby on `PATH` (e.g. a vanilla Docker image), the
`-S` lookup fails and Ruby aborts with:

    /<PREK_HOME>/tools/ruby/<version>/bin/ruby: No such file or directory -- gem (LoadError)

Prepend the resolved Ruby's bin dir to `$PATH` for every `ruby -S
gem` invocation. `gem_env` now also takes the resolved `RubyResult`
and sets `PATH`; `build_gemspec` (which doesn't use `gem_env` since
it has no `GEM_HOME` to set) sets `PATH` directly via the same
helper.

Pull request overview

Fixes Ruby hook install-time failures when prek uses an auto-downloaded rv-ruby toolchain by ensuring ruby -S gem ... can actually find the bundled gem script (which Ruby locates via $PATH).

Changes:

  • Add a ruby_path_env helper to prepend the resolved Ruby toolchain’s bin/ directory to PATH.
  • Apply the computed PATH to all ruby -S gem ... invocation sites (including build_gemspec and the shared gem_env helper).

Covers the auto-downloaded Ruby + gemspec/additional_dependencies path
with `gem` scrubbed from PATH. Without the fix in 880edab the test
would fail at hook install with `LoadError: ... -- gem`.

Exercises all four call sites touched by the fix: build_gemspec,
resolve_gems, install_single_gem, and (on resolve fallback)
install_gems_sequential.

Made-with: Cursor
Top-level import triggered `unused_imports` on Windows where the only
caller is gated behind `#[cfg(not(target_os = "windows"))]`. Move it
inside the function so the import follows the same gate.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes Ruby hook install-time failures when prek auto-downloads Ruby (rv-ruby) but the parent process PATH does not include a gem executable, by ensuring the resolved Ruby’s bin/ directory is on PATH for all ruby -S gem ... invocations.

Changes:

  • Add a helper to compute a PATH value with the resolved Ruby’s bin/ prepended, and apply it to all ruby -S gem ... call sites during gemspec build / dependency resolution / gem install.
  • Adjust gem environment setup (gem_env) to set PATH (in addition to GEM_HOME and bundler-related vars) and propagate join errors.
  • Add an integration regression test that scrubs ruby/gem from PATH and verifies hook installation still succeeds when Ruby is auto-downloaded.

File Description
crates/prek/src/languages/ruby/gem.rs Ensures ruby -S gem can locate the bundled gem script by prepending the resolved Ruby bin/ dir to PATH for install-time gem operations.
crates/prek/tests/languages/ruby.rs Adds a CI-only regression test covering auto-downloaded Ruby + gem operations with ruby/gem removed from PATH.

Comment thread crates/prek/tests/languages/ruby.rs Outdated
remove_bin_from_path strips the entire directory that contains the
named binary. On Ubuntu CI that directory is /usr/bin, which also
holds git -- and prek shells out to git, failing with "Failed to find
git: cannot find binary path".

Fix by symlinking git into a fresh stub directory that intentionally
contains no ruby or gem, then prepending that stub to PATH. Verified

Pull request overview

This PR fixes Ruby hook install-time failures when prek auto-downloads Ruby (rv-ruby) in environments where no system ruby/gem exists on PATH, by ensuring ruby -S gem ... can locate the gem script shipped alongside the resolved Ruby interpreter.

Changes:

  • Prepend the resolved Ruby toolchain’s bin/ directory to PATH for all ruby -S gem ... invocations during gemspec build / gem resolution / gem installs.
  • Refactor gem install environment setup to propagate PATH join errors via Result.
  • Add a CI-only integration regression test that scrubs ruby and gem from PATH while exercising gemspec build + dependency install.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File Description
crates/prek/src/languages/ruby/gem.rs Adds a helper to build a PATH with the resolved Ruby bin/ prepended and applies it to all gem-related ruby -S subprocesses.
crates/prek/tests/languages/ruby.rs Adds an integration regression test covering auto-downloaded Ruby gem operations when ruby/gem are absent from PATH.

### [`v0.3.11`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#0311)

[Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.10...v0.3.11)

Released on 2026-04-27.

##### Highlights

Hook entries now have an explicit `shell` option for shell snippets. Set
`shell: sh`, `bash`, `pwsh`, `powershell`, or `cmd` when an entry should be
evaluated by that shell; leaving it unset keeps prek's direct argv execution.

`prek auto-update` can now filter tag candidates before choosing an update.
Both options take glob patterns: use `--include-tag` to only consider matching
tag names, and `--exclude-tag` to skip matching tags such as moving tags or
prereleases.

##### Enhancements

- Add `auto-update --exclude-repo <repo>` to skip repos ([#&#8203;1983](j178/prek#1983))
- Add `auto-update --exit-code` to exit with non-zero on updates ([#&#8203;2002](j178/prek#2002))
- Add `auto-update --include-tag <pattern>`/`--exclude-tag <pattern>` to filter tags ([#&#8203;1984](j178/prek#1984))
- Adds an explicit `shell` hook option for entries that should run as shell source ([#&#8203;2004](j178/prek#2004))
- Make `--hook-dir` optional for hook-impl ([#&#8203;1989](j178/prek#1989))
- Skip shim warning when `--script-version` is missing ([#&#8203;1990](j178/prek#1990))

##### Bug fixes

- Install Ruby executable in gem bin ([#&#8203;2017](j178/prek#2017))
- Use dedicated Android npm package ([#&#8203;1982](j178/prek#1982))
- Use stable repo keys without breaking cached clones ([#&#8203;1995](j178/prek#1995))

##### Documentation

- Explain prek name ([#&#8203;1980](j178/prek#1980))
- Clarify `pass_filenames` concurrency docs ([#&#8203;1999](j178/prek#1999))

### [`v0.3.9`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#039)

[Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.8...v0.3.9)

Released on 2026-04-13.

##### Highlight

`prek auto-update` is now stricter about pinned revisions and more useful in CI.
It now keeps `rev` and `# frozen:` comments in sync, can detect
[impostor commits](https://docs.zizmor.sh/audits/#impostor-commit) when validating pinned SHAs,
and lets you use `prek auto-update --check` to fail on both available updates and frozen-ref
mismatches without rewriting the config.

Examples:

```console
$ prek auto-update

# updates revs and repairs stale `# frozen:` comments

$ prek auto-update --freeze

# writes frozen SHAs with matching `# frozen: <tag>` comments

$ prek auto-update --check

# exits non-zero when updates are available, a `# frozen:` comment is stale,
# or a pinned SHA does not belong to the fetched upstream refs
```

### [`v0.3.2`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#032)

[Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.1...v0.3.2)

Released on 2026-02-06.

##### Highlights

- **`prek.toml` is here!**

  You can now use `prek.toml` as an alternative to `.pre-commit-config.yaml` for configuring prek. `prek.toml` mirrors the structure of `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, but TOML is less error-prone. Your existing `.pre-commit-config.yaml` will continue to work, but for new users and new projects, `prek.toml` may make more sense. If you want to switch, run `prek util yaml-to-toml` to convert YAML configs to `prek.toml`. See [configuration docs](configuration.md) for details.

  For example, this config:

  ```yaml
  repos:
    - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
      rev: v6.0.0
      hooks:
        - id: check-yaml
  ```

  Can be written as `prek.toml` like this:

  ```toml
  [[repos]]
  repo = "https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks"
  rev = "v6.0.0"
  hooks = [ { id = "check-yaml" } ]
  ```

- **`serde-yaml` has been replaced with `serde-saphyr`**

  We replaced the long-deprecated `serde-yaml` crate with [`serde-saphyr`](https://crates.io/crates/serde-saphyr) for YAML parsing. It is written in safe Rust and has better error messages, performance, and security. This lets us provide precise location information for configuration parsing errors, which should make it easier to fix config issues.

  For example, this invalid config:

  ```yaml
  repos:
    - repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos
      hooks:
        - id: typos
  ```

  Before:

  ```console
  $ prek run
  error: Failed to parse `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
    caused by: Invalid remote repo: missing field `rev`
  ```

  Now:

  ```console
  $ prek run
  error: Failed to parse `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
  caused by: error: line 2 column 5: missing field `rev` at line 2, column 5
  --> <input>:2:5
    |
  1 | repos:
  2 |   - repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos
    |     ^ missing field `rev` at line 2, column 5
  3 |     hooks:
  4 |       - id: typos
    |

- **`prek util` subcommands**

  We added a new `prek util` top-level command for miscellaneous utilities that don't fit into other categories. The first two utilities are:

  - `prek util identify`: shows the identification tags of files that prek uses for file filtering, which can be useful for debugging and writing `types/types_or/exclude_types` filters.
  - `prek util yaml-to-toml`: converts `.pre-commit-config.yaml` to `prek.toml`.

  We also moved `prek init-template-dir` under `prek util` for better organization. The old `prek init-template-dir` command is still available (hidden) as an alias for backward compatibility.
