Hello folks, I've been working on a RubyGems plugin called gem-compiler which generate binary gems without modifying the gem source code (outside-in):
https://github.com/luislavena/gem-compiler This gem is an extraction of a bigger and internal project and I'm slicing it down and aiming to make it a good RubyGems citizen. Part of this task is convert my massive internal specs into tests so I can rely on Gem::TestCase and stay DRY, but I'm a bit overwhelm by all the helpers defined in it. There is quick_gem, util_gem, new_spec, util_build_gem, just to mention a few on different combinations. I'm a bit confused in which will fit better my needs: * Need the path to a real gem file (.gem), it doesn't necessarily needs to be installed. * Need for change specification (platform and extensions). * Need for add real files (extconf.rb or mkrf_conf.rb) inside the gem file. Tried to look into existing RubyGems tests but is not concise which method I should use (some tests are using things that TestCase marks as future deprecation). Hint on where to look at will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
