Question

I typically use Red Hat Linux during development; There I need to use gems like therubyracer and libv8. However, there are times I would like to have the ability to develop on Windows and not have these gems.

Is it possible to limit gems in the Gemfile based on operating system?

Answer 1

You can use groups

group :unix do
  gem 'therubyracer'
  gem 'libv8'
end

# when bundling on windows:
bundle install --without unix
