How do I find the full installation path of a gem in rails. <pre class="prettyprint"><code>bundle show gem_name </code></pre> gives <pre class="prettyprint"><code>/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/gem_name-version </code></pre> My problem is, what directory is the 'var' folder in? I've tried looking in C:/Ruby but it's a really large folder and I don't want to spend all day manually combing my hard drive.

On Windows, you typically find them back in (depending on your ruby version) <pre class="prettyprint"><code>C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems </code></pre> From within your Rails application, you can also run <pre class="prettyprint"><code>Gem.loaded_specs['gem_name'].full_gem_path </code></pre>

How do I find the full installation path of a gem in rails.

bundle show gem_name

gives

/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/gem_name-version

My problem is, what directory is the 'var' folder in? I've tried looking in C:/Ruby but it's a really large folder and I don't want to spend all day manually combing my hard drive.

Gem.loaded_specs['gem_name'].full_gem_path
