Include specs in published gems about aws-sdk-ruby HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for opening an issue. Did you encounter any compatibility issues? The SDK follows semantic versioning and tries to guarantee compatibility with Ruby > 2.3. IIRC it's not standard to really include tests in the gems and it would also greatly increase gem size.

No, but we have a lot of exotic platforms, so we generally want to be able to run tests to find them. Right now, we rely on people telling us if something breaks.

As for standard/not: yeah, I've seen a real mix of approaches to this. In Python land, it's a bit more likely that a PyPi dist will include tests, but in Ruby, I see it sometimes, but I often have to fall back to github tags (which isn't a big deal if they're available).

If this'd bloat the gems too much, I totally understand, and it'd probably be better for me to try think of a way to handle the git tagging instead like folks discussed in #2229. Thank you for replying quickly and explaining the issue here!

That makes sense. Including the specs in the gems is definitely something we don't want to do. I've re-opened #2229 as I think we might be able to use release dates as git tags. We cannot really do git tags based around versions of our 300+ gems.
