@sam
I’m unable to install some gems in the plugin, for e.g. `google-protobuf`. This gem is dependency for `google-cloud-vision` gem.
Here’s a plugin trying to install it. [GitHub - fzngagan/gem-issue · GitHub](https://github.com/fzngagan/gem-issue)

> Successfully installed google-protobuf-3.13.0-universal-darwin
> 1 gem installed
> You are specifying the gem google-protobuf in /Users/faiz/discenv/discourse/plugins/gem-issue/plugin.rb, however it does not exist!

The reason for this is that the `.gemspec` file’s name doesn’t match the `spec_file`’s name assumed in the code here.

IMO, this would happen probably only when using platform-specific gems as the platform name gets added to the gem name if its platform dependent. This is described here. [Specification Reference - RubyGems Guides](https://guides.rubygems.org/specification-reference/#platform=)

It’s unclear why you mentioned me on this topic? I don’t know much about our custom gem resolution, sorry.

I checked the blame and you have the most commits to the file I guess? Happy to be pointed in the right direction here 🙂

I think @sam might be able to help. He wrote the gem importing for plugins.

@sam did you get a chance to take a look?

@sam could you help @fzngagan on this? I am sponsoring this plugin:
> [@\[PAID\] Integrate Google Cloud Vistion API into upload process](https://meta.discourse.org/t/paid-integrate-google-cloud-vistion-api-into-upload-process/161746):
>
> A plugin that checks all images uploaded to Discourse via the Google Cloud Vision API and rejects if not appropriate according to set levels. Documentation: A Ruby Gem is provided by Google: This plugin should hook into the main image upload process of Discourse for all images (posts, avatars, profile backgrounds etc.) and reject images that contain disallowed content: puts "Adult: #{safe\_search.adult}" puts "Spoof: #{safe\_search.spoof}" puts "Medical: #{safe\_search.medical…
And it will be made available for everybody. It is vital to keep a forum free of images that could potentially harm and will certainly help to not getting strikes from Google Adsense for disallowed content.

I guess it looks like there is a bug here, perhaps do a PR to try and fix this quirk?

Here’s a very simple PR fixing the issue.
I tried to find a fancy way to tackle this so that the devs don’t have to worry about the platform thing but didn’t find any. Happy to improve upon this if I find a better solution.
Also, a tip for devs, you can simply put the gem in discourse’s gemfile during development and not go insane. Only worry about all of this for deployment.
