# class Gem::Resolver::Conflict

Used internally to indicate that a dependency conflicted with a spec that would be activated.

### Attributes

activated [R]

The specification that was activated prior to the conflict

dependency [R]

### Public Class Methods

new (dependency, activated, failed_dep=dependency)
Source

    # File lib/rubygems/resolver/conflict.rb, line 24
    def initialize(dependency, activated, failed_dep=dependency)
      @dependency = dependency
      @activated = activated
      @failed_dep = failed_dep
    end

Creates a new resolver conflict when `dependency` is in conflict with an already `activated` specification.
