==== ruby ==== Testsuite --------- The testsuite is run on build. Some tests fail if run as root: compile as an unprivileged user and use ``autopkgtest --user``. To run a subset from the currently built ruby: :: tool/runruby.rb test/runner.rb 'test/net/*' tool/runruby.rb test/runner.rb -n 'TestNetHTTPS#test_session_reuse_but_expire' tool/runruby.rb test/runner.rb -n 'TestGemSpecification#test_date_equals_time' test/rubygems/test_gem_specification.rb In a GMT+X timezone, ``TestGemSpecification#test_date_equals_time`` is always failing (with a 1-day mismatch), from stretch to bookworm. This doesn't trigger in a typical buildd/pbuilder environment. Build with TZ=UTC as a work-around. ruby2.7/bullseye will produce many errors for ``test/ruby/test_time_tz.rb`` if ``ruby-tzinfo`` is installed. Uninstall it first. Build caveats ------------- ``ruby2.x`` appears to be usually built with: :: gbp buildpackage ... --git-builder=git-pbuilder If you want to have a working compiled directory, e.g. to quickly run and fix individual tests, this gets tricky. Building from Git (without the tarball timestamps), or rebuilding twice (as the first build enables `make distclean`), triggers a different build path which requires "host ruby" to be already installed, or files to be regenerated with different versions of tools such as ``bison``. If you don't want that: :: tar --strip-components 1 -xf ../ruby2.*.orig.tar.* # or touch prelude.c miniprelude.c id.* probes.dmyh *.inc parse.c enc/trans/newline.c # buster gbp buildpackage ... Even without that, building leaves modified and extra files, making it hard to reset to a clean state in a ``dpkg-source`` extract, so better use ``gbp``. Note that buster/bullseye's ``gbp buildpackage`` silently exits if ``pristinetar`` is not present, so install it. Freexian CI ----------- `autodep8 `_ is installed and triggers ``gem2deb-test-runner`` while testing rdeps Ruby packages; this adds generic tests even if there's no ``debian/tests/``. ``autodep8`` was forked to support jessie, see also `ruby-rmagick autopkgtest fails #57 `_. | Copyright (C) 2024 Sylvain Beucler
