executable not created during install

[mvdw]

As instructed, I did

michiel@Janus:~> gem install taskwarrior-web Fetching: taskwarrior-web-1.1.11.gem (100%) ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions for the /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.1.0 directory. ... etc.`

So, I run as root:

michiel@Janus:~> sudo !! sudo gem install taskwarrior-web root's password: Successfully installed taskwarrior-web-1.1.11 Parsing documentation for taskwarrior-web-1.1.11 Done installing documentation for taskwarrior-web after 0 seconds 1 gem installed

Then I tried to run it:

michiel@Janus:~> task-web If 'task-web' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf task-web

Hmmm...

michiel@Janus:~> which task-web which: no task-web in (/home/michiel/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games) michiel@Janus:~>

How come?

(ruby 2.1, I am not a ruby programmer)

You probably don't have the directory where it gets stored in your PATH.

See if you can find it by running find /usr -name "task-web" and then add that directory to your PATH.

Thanks!

michiel@Janus:~> find /usr -name "task-web" /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/taskwarrior-web-1.1.11/bin/task-web michiel@Janus:~>

This is enough for me to start testing. Still strange there is no link created in one of my path directories.

It works! Starting the "task-web" at the command line, the browser did not open. but it was easy to figure out that I had to browse to http://localhost:5678.

At first sight: The UI is very nice!

So, the executable WAS created. Only problem: no link was created in one of the folders in my path. Do I keep this issue open to solve that?

Not sure if it's default behaviour or not, but you can always just run "gem list" or "gen environment" to see where things are installed. I need to update the gem anyway - I'll close this issue once I've rebuilt the rubygem.
