A simple docker environment has been provided for spinning up and testing this gem with multiple versions of Ruby. This requires docker and docker-compose to be installed. To run specs, run the following:

docker-compose build --pull
docker-compose run --rm app

This will install the gem in a docker image with all versions of Ruby installed, and install all gem dependencies in the Ruby 2.5 set of gems. Then it will run wwtd, which runs all specs across all supported versions of Ruby and gem dependencies.

The first build will take a long time, however, docker images and gems are cached, making additional runs significantly faster.

Individual spec runs can be started like so:

docker-compose run --rm app bash -lc \
  "BUNDLE_GEMFILE=spec/gemfiles/rails-6.1.gemfile rvm-exec 2.7 rspec"

If you'd like to mount your git checkout within the docker container running tests so changes are easier to test, use the override provided:

cp docker-compose.override.example.yml docker-compose.override.yml
