耙子流产了！ LoadError：无法加载此类文件— pilosa

Question

Tried rake for one of my team's projects. It throws error as,

**rake aborted!
LoadError: cannot load such file -- pilosa**

As the rake failed saying gem pilosa was not found, tried installing it. gem install also failed and returned result as valid gem not found ,

~  $gem install pilosa
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'pilosa' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR:  Possible alternatives: mimosa, nicosa, paloma, pelusa, phl-opa

Also when I searched for the gem pilosa both in Local and Remote, it returned empty result as below,

~  $gem search pilosa

*** REMOTE GEMS ***


~  $gem search -l pilosa

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

Is pilosa a valid gem? The project for which I tried rake build, requires pilosa and also uses it methods as below,

    require "pilosa"
    ******
    ******
    Pilosa.copyfiles *****

Can someone point out the error behind the above problem? Have I done any steps incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This seems like either an internal gem or a library created within the project.

To check whether a gem exists or not, search rubygems: https://rubygems.org/search?utf8=✓&query=pilosa

Also, can you share gem sources? eg

$gem sources
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***
