CI - use SU Ruby versions, master/trunk?

[MSP-Greg]

Thom,

Re Appveyor, maybe limit it to Ruby versions that SU uses? Doesn't necessarily correspond to what stand-alone versions a person may have... I could add master (2.7) also.

Re Travis, want to test on MacOS/OSX?

JFYI, works with RuboCop 0.67.x, but not 0.68.x...

This gem doesn't run inside SketchUp. I've had Ruby versions on my system that doesn't relate to SU Ruby at all. So I set up CI to test a good range to ensure it's flexible in terms of what system it runs on.

Re Travis, want to test on MacOS/OSX?

Yea - that would also be good. I just never got around to set it up. Guess I should set up an account for SketchUp on Travis?

[MSP-Greg]

Ok. Might not be today, I'll see if I can set up Travis in my fork. Maybe add newer Ruby versions to both...

[thomthom]

That'd be great!

(Btw, the SketchUp office is shut down the 4th July week. And I'll be gone for three weeks as of 1st July. So there'll be little or no response during that time.)

FYI, I might try out the new GitHub CI system. See how that compares. Looks like it allows parallel runs when doing matrix testing. Might speed up test results.

I've been working with it. Depends on the OS, but generally, only Ruby versions 2.4 and later are available. I think that holds true for macOS & Windows.

[thomthom]

hmmm...

I see Ubuntu have the best Ruby version range.

Windows has 2.4-2.6, while Mac has only 2.6. That's disappointing. I hope that improve.

They're revising things quickly, doc's may be out of date.

Yea, they appear to be moving quickly. Think it's powered by AzureDevOps in the background. (Or at least using similar tech.) Been using that for a while for C++ projects and that's been very good.

(Btw, that link gives me a 404)

Sorry, I guess I made the repo private, thinking I'd change it to public later...

At present, Windows is 2.4 thru 2.6, and there are some issues with MSYS2. If you don't need it for your CI, things are probably ok.

[MSP-Greg]

Okay, made a public repo. Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04, macOS, Windows

Those actions you got there, is that testing all the Ruby versions GitHub CI offers?

[MSP-Greg]

At present, yes. Since it's still in beta, subject to change.
