Implement gel add command (Context).

This command will let people add a gem to their Gemfile. Similar to bundle add that adds gem to the Gemfile and run bundle install.

Also introduced a capture_stderr method to test_helper to get the error message.

Todos

  • Fix tests

Tests

  • bin/setup && bin/rake

To capture standard error output
$ gel add pry

will add pry to the end of Gemfile.

Awesome!

Do we also want gel add to run gel install after added to Gemfile?

Hmm.. I think so: it seems like the aim is to have a single command that gets you into a state where you can start using the gem. (Because our install doesn't currently re-resolve when the Gemfile changes [though that's also something we should fix], you'll also need a lock in there too.)

From a quick peek, it looks like Bundler actually does an in-memory resolve of the new-Gemfile-to-be, and verifies that it will be able to be resolved -- so if you try to add something impossible, it'll fail while leaving your Gemfile unchanged. If you're up for a bigger adventure, I think we might have the internal APIs to do that now (I'm thinking of #57 & #58 in particular).

If that looks too hard, though, we might be able to cheat by running the lock command, then undoing our Gemfile change if it fails.

Thanks for the advice and Happy Friday!

I could not figure out the internal APIs to do in-memory resolving. Should we do something similar to how Gel::Environment.install_gem does here?

Is commit 3826571 the right direction for cheating 😅?
