Hi

I’m currently helping David m. Peterson by setting up 2 windows boxes  
with  
ironruby and running a few benchmarks and tests with it.  
For example I’m going to try running a few of the complexer rails apps  
and  
see how it holds up, i’m thinking about spree and redmine atm.  
We’ll also run the ruby shootout suite, if you have more suggestions  
they’re  
welcome.

The machines are hosted on EC2.

However using gem sources -a proves to be a little difficult if you  
don’t  
have the %HOME% environment variable set.  
on the both machines I could set %HOME%=%USERPROFILE% in the environment  
variables to remedy this, but I feel like this is something that should  
be  
handled by the installer or by the ironruby gem library.

I couldn’t use the installer in windows 2003 R2 SP2 telling me I needed  
a  
higher service pack for my windows, but there is no higher one when I  
wanted  
to get that one.

I also ran into issues installing a bunch of gems at once. Below the  
rails  
gem is the one causing trouble. The problems for the rails gem go away  
after  
I installed the gemcutter gem (?), but then it fails on the rspec-rails  
gem  
with the same error. If I then remove rails from the list of gems to  
install  
everything installs fine.

Apart from the issues above, I’m unable to push gems to gemcutter with

What problem does “gem sources -a” have with %HOME%? Does MRI have the  
same problem? If %HOME% is not set, IronRuby and MRI should both use the  
same algorithm to figure out the return value of File.expand\_path(“~”)  
based on other environment variables like %USERPROFILE%.

Do you get the SocketError with MRI? You could try running “gem install”  
and “gem uninstall” in a loop with MRI to see if its an issue with the  
machine configuration itself.

I do have a fix for the OpenSSL issue. It does get more active\_resource  
tests working. However, I am not sure if it is sufficient to unblock  
your scenarios.

I’ll try it again for MRI.

I don’t get socket errors for MRI when I try to use it to push gems etc.  
On mac I get socket errors when trying to install gems. When I use that  
same  
version on ubuntu karmic it will tell me invalid path errors (this has  
been  
reported by somebody on codeplex). When I try to push gems on  
windows/mac/linux I get the Socket error. More about this in the bottom  
of  
this mail

I get daily digests of the workitems on codeplex but haven’t added any  
of  
those yet… expect a flurry of bug submissions when I’m through 🙂

When I remove the line that uses https:// from the sources I don’t get

explain why I get different errors on the ubuntu box, the one I use for  
building and testing ironruby doesn’t need the https:// source.

After removing that source this is the result:

Yup, opening bugs will be great.

The https issue may not be fixed for 1.0. Like I had mentioned in  
another email, it may be possible to port SSL functionality from  
IronPython, but we may not get to it for 1.0.

The mkdir issue should be easy to fix. If you can figure out the input  
to mkdir (monkeypatch mkdir to print its input and call the original  
method), that will help ensure that we fix the exact scenario you are  
running into.

When I remove the line that uses https:// from the sources I don’t get  
the socket error anymore because it doesn’t need it anymore. That would  
also explain why I get different errors on the ubuntu box, the one I use  
for building and testing ironruby doesn’t need the https:// source.

After removing that source this is the result:

What problem does “gem sources -a” have with %HOME%? Does MRI have the  
same problem? If %HOME% is not set, IronRuby and MRI should both use the  
same algorithm to figure out the return value of File.expand\_path(“~”)  
based on other environment variables like %USERPROFILE%.

Do you get the SocketError with MRI? You could try running “gem install”  
and “gem uninstall” in a loop with MRI to see if its an issue with the  
machine configuration itself.

I do have a fix for the OpenSSL issue. It does get more active\_resource  
tests working. However, I am not sure if it is sufficient to unblock  
your scenarios.

Subject: [Ironruby-core] running some benchmarks

Hi

I’m currently helping David m. Peterson by setting up 2 windows boxes  
with ironruby and running a few benchmarks and tests with it.  
For example I’m going to try running a few of the complexer rails apps  
and see how it holds up, i’m thinking about spree and redmine atm.  
We’ll also run the ruby shootout suite, if you have more suggestions  
they’re welcome.

The machines are hosted on EC2.

However using gem sources -a proves to be a little difficult if you  
don’t have the %HOME% environment variable set.  
on the both machines I could set %HOME%=%USERPROFILE% in the environment  
variables to remedy this, but I feel like this is something that should  
be handled by the installer or by the ironruby gem library.

I couldn’t use the installer in windows 2003 R2 SP2 telling me I needed  
a higher service pack for my windows, but there is no higher one when I  
wanted to get that one.

I also ran into issues installing a bunch of gems at once. Below the  
rails gem is the one causing trouble. The problems for the rails gem go  
away after I installed the gemcutter gem (?), but then it fails on the  
rspec-rails gem with the same error. If I then remove rails from the  
list of gems to install everything installs fine.

Additionally on windows 2003 ironruby can’t find gem.bat and I did set  
the necessary environment variables. PATH, HOME. install

> > > exit

Apart from the issues above, I’m unable to push gems to gemcutter with  
ironruby it fails with an OpenSSL error. The same error I get on my mac  
when I want to install gems with ironruby.

## I’ll keep you updated as I make more progress and/or come across more issues.
