Test on TruffleRuby

[mostlyobvious]

Add TruffleRuby into .travis.yml matrix.

See:

• https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/ruby/
• Add support for TruffleRuby rvm/rvm#4297 (comment)

[swistak35]

For now it's probably not yet possible to successfully run it, because of oracle/truffleruby#1400 . But someone can try :)

[mostlyobvious]

I believe you can set expected fail on Travis in regard to some matrix configurations or don't test c-ext matrix branches at all.

Let's wait till it's travis-rim-supported out of the box.

oracle/truffleruby#62 (comment)

[mostlyobvious]

Current PR:
#505

[mostlyobvious]

Aside to running tests on CI, I've scoped down the test run to ruby_event_store and it fails on:

rspec ./spec/batch_enumerator_spec.rb:22 # RubyEventStore::BatchEnumerator
rspec ./spec/batch_enumerator_spec.rb:50 # RubyEventStore::BatchEnumerator should receive call(kind of Integer, kind of Integer) 1 time
rspec ./spec/batch_enumerator_spec.rb:30 # RubyEventStore::BatchEnumerator should yield successive args([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

where the code involved is:

     Failure/Error: (0...total_limit).step(batch_size) do |batch_offset|

     ArgumentError:
       Infinite or NaN

[mostlyobvious]

irb(main):003:0> (0...Float::INFINITY).step(1).next
ArgumentError: Infinite or NaN

[mostlyobvious]

To be revisited after oracle/truffleruby#1503 and
#422 (comment) are solved.

[mostlyobvious]

Let's check this in what's left from 2020

[LifeIsStrange]

@pawelpacana any update? :)

[mostlyobvious]

@LifeIsStrange one minor issue in ruby_event_store gem (in test code) that would require reporting in TruffleRuby tracker: an instance of what is Integer on MRI is a Float under Truffleruby.

Failures:

  1) RubyEventStore::BatchEnumerator is expected to receive call(kind of Integer, kind of Integer) 1 time
     Failure/Error: result      = reader.call(batch_offset, batch_limit)
     
       #<Double :reader> received :call with unexpected arguments
         expected: (kind of Integer, kind of Integer)
              got: (0.0, 100)

Do you think it is something you could help us with? The way I see it is:

1. reducing the code to minial amount showing the disparity of Truffleruby with MRI
2. reporting this similarly to ArgumentError on range iteration oracle/truffleruby#1503

[LifeIsStrange]

@pawelpacana hi, thanks for the update!
Sorry I can't help with this task, I'm just a nerd interested in Truffleruby support for Rails and how it would affect performance, I don't even know the Ruby language yet ^^

[eregon]

Just seeing this, I think it would be fine to basically file #419 (comment) as a TruffleRuby issue, as long as it's relatively easy to reproduce. We don't necessarily need a minimal reproduction, although of course it's always helpful.

[mostlyobvious]

Already testing.
