All,
I'm working on bringing Puppet into the Userland consolidation. While
working through the legal and ARC paperwork, I've turned to working on
the technical portion of the project. Puppet is written almost
entirely in Ruby and its built-in unittests require extra rubygems
(Ruby packages) to run. How would you recommend handling this case?
Hi Drew,
If these extra gems are only required for testing puppet itself,
you could integrate puppet first, and have a follow-up case later
to include these other gems separately, to support Puppet testing.
Not all of our components have working tests yet, for various
reasons. It is not required to get a working test target
in the Makefile before you integrate, although you would still
run the tests yourself, manually installing the needed gems.
The rubygems installer (gem) has options for specifying an install
directory and a binary directory. Ruby also has an environment
variable like PYTHONPATH for searching non-default directories for
modules so I think we could rig something in the makefiles to handle
this, but I wanted to check first. Is it worth going to these lengths
to get the unittests working? Is it possible that we evaluate the
inclusion of these Ruby modules in our Ruby package?
I'd rather see additional Ruby modules packaged separately, rather than
bundled into the ruby package.
The ruby libraries in these gems could
still be installed into one of the standard paths for ruby libraries,
possibly under a vendor_ruby directory.
For ruby 1.8.7 on Solaris, this is the $LOAD_PATH where it looks for
ruby libraries:
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-solaris2.11
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/site_ruby
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/i386-solaris2.11
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-solaris2.11
.
The list of gems is here:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Development_Writing_Tests#Running-Tests
We would also need to bring 'rake' into the gate (Ruby make).
Is rake required only for testing Puppet or is it needed for building also?
I will be bringing Ruby 1.9.3 into Solaris, which includes rake v0.8.7.

Thanks!
