what i do is:
1. install ruby, path variable was set, version: ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x64-mingw32].
2. install rubygems, version: 2.7.7.
3. install MSYS2.
4. install jekyll, gem install jekyll, then the above error occurs and i'm not sure the reason.


ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x64-mingw32]


2.7.7


gem install jekyll



i have tried to install devkit and it not works, i think my ruby version is 2.5+, so don't need devkit and i have uninstalled it.



Anyone could help me?





1. You still need devkit for Ruby 2.5+ to install C extension gems (doubtful you have set up MSYS and MingW independently of Ruby based on this question. Unsure why you would feel it is not needed for 2.5+ 2. RubyGems is already packaged with Ruby, you don't need to install it.

MSYS


MingW


2.5+





@ForeverZer0 helpful, I re-install Ruby with DevKit, now it works, jekyll could installed.

They did make separate downloads for the Windows installer that do not include DevKit, but is practically a necessity. It is quite necessary to be able to use a large percentage extremely popular gems.

Although they made the Ruby+DevKit an "optional" download for the RubyInstaller on Windows, if you plan to install gems, it is practically a necessity. A large percentage of the most popular gems are C extension that will need built on your machine when being installed.



The DevKit is a handy toolchain that supplies everything you need for this to be done, automatically without you needed to do anything more than type gem install XXXXX. Without it, you either cannot use C extension gems, or must have already installed MSYS and MingW, have them configured properly, which is all not a user-friendly experience, even for those who familiar with the process.


gem install XXXXX


MSYS


MingW



So even if DevKit is optional, it is still required to make the most of Ruby on Windows.

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Dynamically update html content plain JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
