RSpec 1.1.9 on JRuby

Testing RSpec
1

Hi

Can you use RSpec 1.1.9 on JRuby? Now it depends on spicycode-rcov, I
can’t install it:

jgem install rspec --development

Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing rspec:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/opt/local/share/java/jruby/bin/jruby extconf.rb install rspec –
development

Gem files will remain installed in /opt/local/share/java/jruby/lib/
ruby/gems/1.8/gems/spicycode-rcov-0.8.1.3.0 for inspection.
Results logged to /opt/local/share/java/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
spicycode-rcov-0.8.1.3.0/ext/rcovrt/gem_make.out

Thanks
Ashley

For rspec-1.1.9 you have to be on rubygems 1.3 to avoid those
dependencies (as they are developer deps and I just used hoe to create
the gemspec, which makes them normal deps for rubygems <= 1.2).

I’ll make sure that dep is not there for the next rspec release, but
in the mean time, upgrading to rubygems 1.3 and reinstalling rspec
will solve your problem. That assumes that there is a jgem-1.3. If
not, you can probably do this:

git clone git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git
git co 1.1.9

Then modify rspec.gemspec to eliminate the dependency and build the gem
locally:

jgem build rspec.gemspec
jgem install pkg/rspec-1.1.9.gem

Hi David

Thanks for the explanation. I can live with 1.1.8 in the meantime: I
only need it for Cucumber+Celerity, so I won’t be doing anything
complex in JRuby. I assume the next JRuby release will include
RubyGems 1.3.

Cheers
Ashley
