  *** Functional Specs: These also have a one-to-one relationship with classes for the most part - geminstaller_spec is an exception. Most of these test how groups of classes interact together at various levels. Most of them use the "Test Gem Home" fixture approach. This is effective, but adds several seconds to the startup of each run. There is also overlap between some of them, especially at high levels of the API, which adds some maintenance overhead, but is worth it to me since it helps catch integration bugs.
22
23
  *** Smoke Tests: There are some tests under /spec/smoketests which I run manually. These are really coarse grained scripts, and don't use Rspec or Test::Unit. They hit the live rubygems.org gem repository, and install/uninstall actual gems. They are used as a periodic check to ensure that my "Test Gem Home" fixture approach is not masking any real-life bugs.
23
24
  * I'm a proponent of high code coverage. I check periodically to ensure I maintain close to 100% code coverage, not counting platform- and version-specific code blocks (and I'll get around to those some day). Also, the sudo recursive invocation stuff still needs some tests, but that's a bit tricky to automate.
24
- * The tests are flaky on Windows (but run fine on mac/linux). The app itself runs fine, so I believe it's something related to spawning processes for the test GEM_HOME and EmbeddedGemServer. I plan to look at this too, eventually.
25
- * One of my motivations for creating GemInstaller was as an exercise to help me learn Ruby better. If you see me doing anything obviously dumb or inefficient in the code or design, please let me know. Some of them I already know about, but haven't fixed, most I'm probably not aware of :)
25
+ * The tests are "harder" on Windows (but run fine on mac/linux). The app should work fine, but testing is pretty tricky. I have all tests working against the latest rubygems (1.0.1). Here's what does and doesn't work with tests against latest rubygems on windows:
26
+ * smoketest.rb and autogem_test.rb work
27
+ * ruby test/test_all.rb works
28
+ * rake default test task does not work (this seems to be a problem with hoe on windows)
29
+ * Sometimes test suite still hangs after a while, this is probably some orphaned EmbeddedGemServer process somewhere. A reboot should fix it - this is windows, after all!

33
+ h1. Maintaining forward and backward compatibility with multiple RubyGems versions
34
+
35
+ * I've put a lot of effort into ensuring that GemInstaller works with older versions of RubyGems. As of now (2008-01-01) all specs (not smoketests) are green on mac/linux against RubyGems versions 0.8.11, 0.9.4, 0.9.5, 1.0.0, and 1.0.1. On Windows, smoketests and specs are green against 1.0.1. I haven't figured out how to automate testing against older RubyGems versions without a reinstall on Windows, so let me know if something is broken (or just upgrade).
36
+
37
+ * This wasn't as hard as it seems. The hardest part was figuring out what was different between versions. Once you understand that, you can add switch statements to perform different logic or tests depending on the version (which is easy if you use rubygems built in Version Requirement support - see GemInstaller::RubygemsVersionChecker).
38
+
39
+ * To run against different RubyGems versions, I have a RUBYGEMS_VERSION environment variable which causes the correct version or RubyGems in spec/fixture/rubygems_dist to be put on the load path and used for the test run.
40
+
41
+ * RubyGems 0.9.5 was a major upgrade, the preview release for 1.0. It introduced support for platforms, auto-install of missing dependencies, and many other things that GemInstaller already did.
42
+
43
+ * Here are the main differences in GemInstaller when running on RubyGems >=0.9.5:
44
+ ** Don't use missing dependency finder (auto-install of missing dependencies is now built in)
45
+ ** Don't use valid platform selector, use --platform option (auto-selection of platform is now built in)
46
+ ** GemInteractionHandler should throw error on any interactive prompt (since dependencies and platforms are now handled automatically by default)
47
+ ** The "<code>prefer_binary_platform</code> config property":../documentation/documentation.html#prefer_binary_platform_config_property no longer applies, and has no effect.

+ h1. Release Process
51
+
52
+ Yeah, it's too manual. Notes for improvement below.
53
+
54
+ * Add section and entries for new release to History.txt
55
+ * Add same history info to history section on homepage.
56
+ * Update version in geminstaller.rb
57
+ * rake update_manifest
58
+ * Run tests:
59
+ * CI should be green for all versions
60
+ * smoketest.rb and autogem_test.rb should pass for all RubyGems versions on mac/linux
61
+ * test_all, smoketest.rb and autogem_test.rb should pass for latest RubyGems version on windows
62
+ * Make sure everything is checked in
63
+ * Make a tag in svn
64
+ * rake clean package
65
+ * Upload gem to rubyforge
66
+ * rake publish_website
67
+
68
+ Here's the improvements I need to make to the release process:
69
+
70
+ * Avoid duplication of history file to display on home page
71
+ * Make CI automatically build and tag a gem/package with next version + revision: x.y.z.<svn revision>
72
+ * Rake task to automatically tag and release latest build from CI and tag
