Using binstubs for all gems with the deprecated --binstubs

[DannyBen]

I am trying to figure out how to properly set up bundler in Github actions, and bumped into what seems to be a missing or at least confusing functionality.

bundle install --binstubs is deprecated

$ bundle install --binstubs ./bin
[DEPRECATED] The --binstubs option will be removed in favor of `bundle binstubs`

bundle binstubs does not have a way to stub all gems

And, in addition it points to the deprecated --binstubs flag, which I am guessing is a documentation issue.

$ bundle binstubs --help
SYNOPSIS
       bundle binstubs GEM_NAME [--force] [--path PATH] [--standalone]

# ... snip ...

BUNDLE INSTALL --BINSTUBS
       To  create  binstubs  for  all  the  gems in the bundle you can use the
       --binstubs flag in bundle install(1) bundle-install.1.html.

So - what is the proper way to binstub all gems?

---

To add some context: When using a vendor path for the bundle (for caching), then any installed gem that comes with a binary, is not found in the path. This is why I started looking at this binstubs feature (which I never used before).

I would much rather avoid creating these binstubs, and instead, just add the vendor/bundle/.../bin folder to the path, but I was unable to find the proper command to obtain this path - as it seems to differ from system to system.

I was hoping there is some bundler env get bin_path or similar so I can do this in GitHub Actions:

- name: Bundle install
  run: |
    gem install bundler
    bundle config path vendor/bundle
    bundle install --jobs 4 --retry 3
    echo "::add-path::$(bundle env get bin_path)"

It looks like the original card for this issue mentioned an --all option, but it didn't make it in.

Actually bundle binstubs --all is implemented, and works!

We need to fix both the documentation and the deprecation message.

FYI, the docs on the bundle website still don't document the --all flags.

See https://bundler.io/v2.1/man/bundle-binstubs.1.html

[deivid-rodriguez]

Right, these docs will be present in bundler 2.2 docs.

Docs are live now: https://bundler.io/v2.2/man/bundle-binstubs.1.html.
