The way ruby loads gems and keeps track of their paths seems to not
always work very well when the gems are accessed through
symlinks. Ruby will then complain that the same files are loaded
multiple times; it relies on the file's full path to determine whether
the file is loaded or not.
This adds an option to simply copy all gem files into the environment
instead, which gets rid of this issue, but may instead result in major
file duplication.
According to https://endoflife.software/programming-languages/server-side-scripting/ruby
ruby 2.4 will go end-of-life in march, where the new release of nixpkgs
will be cut. We won't be able to support it for security updates.
Remove all references to ruby_2_4 and add ruby_2_7 instead where
missing.
Mark packages that depend on ruby 2.4 as broken:
* chefdk
* sonic-pi
Setting a Bundler version with GEM_PATH doesn't seem to work in Ruby
2.7, so we need to use the LOAD_PATH instead. Without this,
bundlerEnv environments will always use the version of Bundler that
comes with Ruby, which won't necessarily work because it isn't the
version that was used to generate the bundle.
For example, building ronn with Ruby 2.7 without this change results
in a broken executable, but it works (when built with all packaged
Ruby versions) after this change.
In building a gem whose native extension is a Rakefile, the previous
version of this code will call essentially `rake ""`, when it means to
call `rake`.
This change converts `""` into `[]` rather than `[""]`.
This fixes
nix-shell -p 'ruby.withPackages (const [])' ruby.devdoc
which otherwise wouldn't find documentation, unlike
nix-shell -p ruby ruby.devdoc
which would, because ruby has setup hooks to accomodate for this, that
were being masked by the withPackages wrapper.
Go beyond the obvious setup hooks now, with a bit of sed, with a skipped case:
- cc-wrapper's `dontlink`, because it already is handled.
Also, in nix files escaping was manually added.
EMP
Because the gemdir was referenced on the derivation, it would cause the
whole gemdir to get added to the store, which would in turn force the
derivation to be rebuilt whenever unrelated folder files would change.
