nyarly / corundum Goto Github PK

All over in the descriptions it states:

...corundum is a synthetic gemstone...

This is just plain not true in any way, it is a mineral type in which rubies, among others, are classified. Being synthetic has nothing to do with it. Just wanted to point that out as it was bothering my OCD.

rake aborted!
Gem::InvalidSpecificationException: ["lib/xing/serializers/list.rb"] are not files

Tasks: TOP => release => /home/judson/ruby/LRD/xing-backend/pkg/xing-backend-0.0.13.gem
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

This happens when a gem is packaged once with some problems, and then we fix them. Need to clobber the bad packaging ... sometimes?

Specifically, it'd be nice if the name of the project were used.

pkg/ and corundum/ should be added to .gitignore in a Corundum project.

Document, possibly add to the QA tasks

There are several features that don't need to be in the main corundum gem. Likewise, there are parts that would be useful elsewhere. Consider what those parts are and build plugin gems for them.

As is, if the direct rspec results are more recent than source or test files, rspec doesn't run - which means that coverage.json doesn't get produced, which breaks Travis.

Usually this isn't a problem because the rspec result files live in corundum/ which should be added to .gitignore, but even if that's been done, the production of coverage.json is an important consequences of rspec:doc

If a gem has almost built, it creates files in pkg/ which stop the gem from rebuilding properly, which prevents the package from being gemified and released. Inexperienced users will have a bad time.

Not every project wants to use the bare version number in their tagging. LRD uses "v#{version}" and others might want "gemname-0.0.0" - add a parameter to the VCS piece to alter that.

A change in the git interface(?) seems to be leaving tags on the dev's machine. Tags should get pushed as part of deploy

The skel'd .simplecov doesn't refer to the Simplecov JSON formatter, which Corundum requires.

The error reported when JSONFormatter isn't in the .simplecov file doesn't explain what to do (add simplecov-json to Gemfile, add formatter line to .simplecov)

e.g.

FAIL: Stragglers (1)
Covered files and gemspec manifest don't match

Should advise the user to look in the gemspec (complete with path), and to compare to files in rake coverage:view - with the note about "rarely, simplecov will miss files..."
