Description
Describe the problem as clearly as you can
If you run gem install --user-install SOME_GEM, then run gem uninstall --user-install SOME_GEM, RubyGems throws an error because the gem is not in GEM_HOME and tells you to use --install-dir instead.
There is a test which seems relevant, and passes. It does not catch this problem, however.
rubygems/test/rubygems/test_gem_uninstaller.rb
Lines 371 to 394 in 6256829
I suspect we need something closer to an integration test, possibly in test/rubygems/test_gem_commands_uninstall_command.rb.
Did you try upgrading RubyGems?
Yes. This occurs both on RubyGems 3.4.8 and master (as of 6256829)
Post steps to reproduce the problem
Using Ruby 3.0.5p211, via the FreeBSD lang/ruby30 package.
$ gem --version
3.4.8
$ gem install --user-install boop

Which command did you run?
gem uninstall --user-install boop (exact gem does not matter).
What were you expecting to happen?
I was expecting it to uninstall the specified gem.
What actually happened?
It said it is not installed in GEM_HOME, and recommends using -i (--install-dir) with the user-install directory (the value of Gem.user_dir).
Run gem env and paste the output below
