Gem::TestCase

RubyGemTestCase provides a variety of methods for testing rubygems and gem-related behavior in a sandbox. Through RubyGemTestCase you can install and uninstall gems, fetch remote gems through a stub fetcher and be assured your normal set of gems is not affected.

Tests are always run at a safe level of 1.

Public Class Methods

make_command() click to toggle source

Returns the make command for the current platform. For versions of Ruby built on MS Windows with VC++ or Borland it will return ‘nmake’. On all other platforms, including Cygwin, it will return ‘make’.

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 747
def self.make_command
  ENV["make"] || (vc_windows? ? 'nmake' : 'make')
end
            
process_based_port() click to toggle source

Allows tests to use a random (but controlled) port number instead of a hardcoded one. This helps CI tools when running parallels builds on the same builder slave.

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 772
def self.process_based_port
  @@process_based_port ||= 8000 + $$ % 1000
end
            
rubybin() click to toggle source

Finds the path to the ruby executable

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 804
def self.rubybin
  ruby = ENV["RUBY"]
  return ruby if ruby
  ruby = "ruby"
  rubyexe = "#{ruby}.exe"

  3.times do
    if File.exist? ruby and File.executable? ruby and !File.directory? ruby
      return File.expand_path(ruby)
    end
    if File.exist? rubyexe and File.executable? rubyexe
      return File.expand_path(rubyexe)
    end
    ruby = File.join("..", ruby)
  end

  begin
    require "rbconfig"
    File.join(RbConfig::CONFIG["bindir"],
              RbConfig::CONFIG["ruby_install_name"] +
              RbConfig::CONFIG["EXEEXT"])
  rescue LoadError
    "ruby"
  end
end
            
vc_windows?() click to toggle source

Returns whether or not we’re on a version of Ruby built with VC++ (or Borland) versus Cygwin, Mingw, etc.

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 730
def self.vc_windows?
  RUBY_PLATFORM.match('mswin')
end
            
win_platform?() click to toggle source

Is this test being run on a Windows platform?

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 715

  Gem.win_platform?
end

If the KEEP_FILES environment variable is set the files will not be removed from /tmp/test_rubygems_#{$$}.#{Time.now.to_i}.

+@a3a

gem a version 3.a

+@a_evil9+

gem a_evil version 9, use this to ensure similarly-named gems don’t collide with a.

+@b2+

gem b version 2

+@c1_2+

gem c version 1.2

+@pl1+

gem pl version 1, this gem has a legacy platform of i386-linux.

Additional prerelease gems may also be created:

Also, a list:

Sets up a fake fetcher using the gems from util_make_gems. Optionally additional prerelease gems may be included.

Gems created by this method may be fetched using Gem::RemoteFetcher.

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 642
def util_setup_fake_fetcher(prerelease = false)
  require 'zlib'
  require 'socket'
  require 'rubygems/remote_fetcher'

  @fetcher = Gem::FakeFetcher.new

  util_make_gems(prerelease)
  Gem::Specification.reset

  @all_gems = [@a1, @a2, @a3a, @a_evil9, @b2, @c1_2].sort
  @all_gem_names = @all_gems.map { |gem| gem.full_name }

  gem_names = [@a1.full_name, @a2.full_name, @a3a.full_name, @b2.full_name]
  @gem_names = gem_names.sort.join("\n")

  Gem::RemoteFetcher.fetcher = @fetcher
end
            
util_setup_spec_fetcher(*specs) click to toggle source

Sets up Gem::SpecFetcher to return information from the gems in specs. Best used with +@all_gems+ from util_setup_fake_fetcher.

  nil # force errors
end
            
util_spec(name, version, deps = nil, &block) click to toggle source

Creates a spec with name, version and deps.

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 484
def util_spec(name, version, deps = nil, &block)
  # TODO: deprecate
  raise "deps or block, not both" if deps and block

  if deps then
    block = proc do |s|
      # Since Hash#each is unordered in 1.8, sort
      # the keys and iterate that way so the tests are
      # deteriminstic on all implementations.
      deps.keys.sort.each do |n|
        s.add_dependency n, (deps[n] || '>= 0')
      end
    end
  end

  quick_spec(name, version, &block)
end
            
util_zip(data) click to toggle source

Deflates data

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 708
def util_zip(data)
  Zlib::Deflate.deflate data
end
            
v(string) click to toggle source

Construct a new Gem::Version.

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 866
def v string
  Gem::Version.create string
end
            
vc_windows?() click to toggle source

Returns whether or not we’re on a version of Ruby built with VC++ (or Borland) versus Cygwin, Mingw, etc.

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 738
def vc_windows?
  RUBY_PLATFORM.match('mswin')
end
            
win_platform?() click to toggle source

Is this test being run on a Windows platform?

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 722
def win_platform?
  Gem.win_platform?
end
            
write_file(path) click to toggle source

Writes a binary file to path which is relative to +@gemhome+

 
               # File rubygems/test_case.rb, line 316
def write_file(path)
  path = File.join @gemhome, path unless Pathname.new(path).absolute?
  dir = File.dirname path

  open path, 'wb' do |io|
    yield io if block_given?
