#Publishing the smbcloud-model gem

The gem wraps the smbcloud-model Rust crate via a native extension. Publishing requires coordinating the Rust crate release and the gem release in order.

#Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain installed
• bundler and gem CLI available
• RubyGems account with push access to smbcloud-model

#Steps

#1. Publish the Rust crate

Publish smbcloud-model to crates.io first. The gem's native extension depends on it.

cargo publish -p smbcloud-model

#2. Update the Cargo dependency

Switch gems/model/ext/model/Cargo.toml from the local path to the published version:

# Before (development)
smbcloud-model = { path = "./../../../../crates/smbcloud-model" }

# After (release) — match the version just published
smbcloud-model = "0.3"

#3. Sync the gem version

Set gems/model/lib/model/version.rb to match the smbcloud-model crate version:

module Model
  VERSION = '0.3.31'
end

#4. Compile the native extension

cd gems/model
bundle exec rake compile

#5. Build the gem

bundle exec rake build

This produces pkg/smbcloud-model-<version>.gem.

#6. Publish the gem

gem push pkg/smbcloud-model-<version>.gem

#Development workflow

To work against the local crate instead of the published one, use the path dependency:

smbcloud-model = { path = "./../../../../crates/smbcloud-model" }

Remember to revert this before publishing.
