Segment7: RubyGems Tests Pass on 1.9

RubyGems Tests Pass on 1.9

drbrain@segment7.net (Eric Hodel) — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 03:00:25 -0700

455 tests, 1600 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

Wooo!

Here’s some of the changes and notes I made for you:

Removed some privates, because life is better without privates.
Added Object#send! stub on 1.8.
lambda cares about number of arguments now, so add |*a|.
ENV['FOO'] = nil becomes ENV.delete 'FOO'. This is the most annoying change, since restoring defaults is a pain.
WEBrick’s response object’s #code alias is gone, use #status
(i = 0; 5.times do |i| end; i == 4) is false, so use a separate variable like count, and add count = i
Kernel#require stores the full path to the require’d file now.
There’s something going on with class variable sharing between a module and its singleton class. See [ruby-core:12200].
Strings aren’t Array-like anymore, so use things like Kernel#Array instead of String#to_a
#methods and #instance_variables return arrays of symbols instead of strings now.

Also, the tests run 20-25% faster on 1.9 than 1.8. Look for a beta of RubyGems coming next week!

Great news Eric!

There are plans to solve the issue with pure-ruby, ruby+extensions and prebuilt gems for different platforms?

SWEET. Good notes, thanks.
