Access gem source code in Cloud 9

I would like to open up and edit gem source code but I can't figure out how to in cloud 9.

Stack Overflow wants me to make this question longer but it really is that simple. Where is the damn code at?

You can find the location of gems by issuing one of the following commands:

  • rvm gemdir
  • gem environment (look for the gem path)

Cloud9 operates like any other terminal. The following is helpful if the gem has a unique name, as you will get fewer (better) results. I will use will_paginate for example:

sudo locate will_paginate

Since Cloud9 comes packaged with light permissions for the main user, you will benefit most from using sudo like above.

On my machine, the results include sub-directories in the two following locations:

/home/hstevens/.gem/ruby/gems/will_paginate-3.0.7
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/will_paginate-3.0.7

Depending on whether you installed your gem as root or not, your results should include one or both of the above locations. (Actual paths may vary slightly.)
