Summary

Ruby 2.7 EOL is in less than 2 months so we should bump the version to the latest one available.

This is could break some stuff, let's see if the CI is complaining 😉

I think you should also bump the xcode_version like in this commit 2c87b74.

Supported Xcode versions: https://circleci.com/docs/using-macos/

Xcode 14.2.0 only support Ruby 3.1.3 though not 3.2.0. https://circle-macos-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/image-manifest/v10821/manifest.txt

Also not sure if Ruby 3 is good to go per #33485 discussion

@dcangulo Thx for you help, I bumped the Xcode version to 14.2.0 and set ruby version to 3.1.3, let's see what is going to break 😄

[spuyet]

There is some breaking changes with the release of Xcode 14.2: https://discuss.circleci.com/t/xcode-14-2-released-breaking-changes/46303

chruby (ruby versions manager) has been replaced by rbenv which is way more popular. They have built a dedicated orb to manage ruby versions on macos.

[cipolleschi]

Can we remove these lines?

[spuyet]

I'm still debugging the build as it does not work, looks like bundle exec pod fails because the binstub is not found for ruby 3.1.3, it needs more investigation. This is not easy to debug as the whole build is extremely slow.

[cipolleschi]

Yeah, I know... We need to set aside some time to make it faster and more efficient... :(

[cipolleschi]

Thanks for the effort you are putting into it!

[traviswimer]

It looks to me like the test_ios_rntester job is missing the setup_ruby step. This is where gems are installed, so Cocoapods doesn't exist. (I'm guessing maybe it was previously working because it was pulling the gems from a cache?)

Can we add the setup_ruby step to test_ios_rntester, or will that break something?

@spuyet

There is some breaking changes with the release of Xcode 14.2: https://discuss.circleci.com/t/xcode-14-2-released-breaking-changes/46303

chruby (ruby versions manager) has been replaced by rbenv which is way more popular. They have built a dedicated orb to manage ruby versions on macos.

It looks like things aren't very consistent with Ruby on CircleCI. There is a fairly recent support article that says:

The only officially supported way to change the Ruby version on CircleCI macOS machines is to use chruby.

But, it looks like circleci/macos@2 uses both rbenv and chruby. It's also weird, because using macos/switch-ruby doesn't actually install that version. It worked for you because Ruby 3.1.3 happens to be one that is currently installed by default.

I was trying to get 2.7.6 to work in my own project, and I needed to do this:

steps:
      - run:
          name: Install Ruby
          command: rbenv install 2.7.6
      - macos/switch-ruby:
          version: 2.7.6

It may be necessary to consider this if RN intends to continue to pin each version to an exact version of Ruby.

I suppose the options are:

• Add a check to ensure that the correct version is installed.
• or accept that the tests will fail when new patch versions are released.

[traviswimer]

I managed to get all the tests passing with 3.1.3. I forked @spuyet 's fork and made a separate PR to run the tests: #36205

[cipolleschi]

Hi @spuyet! Thank you so much for this PR: it was extremely helpful and instrumental to kickstart an internal discussion with the React org about the DevX we want to provide related to Ruby.

We decided to go into a different direction and to support a wider range of Ruby versions rather than fixing a single specific one. See this comment for further info.

Again, thank you so much for all the work you are putting in your contributions, please keep'em coming: we strongly believe that React Native and Meta could benefit from OSS contributions as much as the community can benefit from our work on the framework!

Thank you so much! 🙇

@cipolleschi Could you post an update/conclusion to the Discussions and Proposals thread?

[cipolleschi]

@kevinvangelder we removed all the ruby requirements (but not Ruby Bundler) from the codebase, so now React Native should work with all the Ruby versions from 2.6.8 up to 3.2.1. In CI, we are testing 2.6.8, 2.7.7 and 3.2.0.

Which React Native versions does this apply to?

[kelset]

@tibbe I think this should apply to all the versions in the current support window, so 73-72-71. Probably also 70.
