Why does "rvm docs generate" use a different directory for output than "gem server"?

Question

rvm use 2@mygemset
rvm docs generate
gem server --help

prints:

Defaults:
    --port 8808 --dir /home/lsiden/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.1-p353@mygemset --no-daemon

But:

ls /home/lsiden/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0@mygemset/doc

is empty.

Where did rdocs generate put all the docs it just created? Shouldn't it match the location where gem server sets its docroot?

I also asked the same question on Github but I want to check if someone else already encountered this.

Answer 1

docs generate was initially meant to generate docs for ruby only, not gems, I have extended the command, run this:

rvm get head
rvm docs generate-gems

Answer 2

From the docs.log file:

~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/share/ri/2.0.0/site...

Why would you expect it to? That command generates Ruby's core and stdlib documentation. What does that have to do with a gem?

So, even though you are using a gemset, the rvm docs command is more of a Ruby level command.
