Heroku Buildpack for Ruby

This is a Heroku Buildpack for Ruby, Rack, and Rails apps. It uses Bundler for dependency management.

This buildpack requires 64-bit Linux.

Usage

Ruby

Example Usage:

$ ls
Gemfile Gemfile.lock

$ heroku create --buildpack heroku/ruby

$ git push heroku main
...
-----> Heroku receiving push
-----> Fetching custom buildpack
-----> Ruby app detected
-----> Installing dependencies using Bundler version 1.1.rc
       Running: bundle install --without development:test --path vendor/bundle --deployment
       Fetching gem metadata from http://rubygems.org/..
       Installing rack (1.3.5)
       Using bundler (1.1.rc)
       Your bundle is complete! It was installed into ./vendor/bundle
       Cleaning up the bundler cache.
-----> Discovering process types
       Procfile declares types -> (none)
       Default types for Ruby  -> console, rake

The buildpack will detect your app as Ruby if it has a Gemfile and Gemfile.lock files in the root directory. It will then proceed to run bundle install after setting up the appropriate environment for ruby and Bundler.

Testing

The tests on this buildpack are written in Rspec to allow the use of focused: true. Parallelization of testing is provided by https://github.com/grosser/parallel_tests this lib spins up an arbitrary number of processes and running a different test file in each process, it does not parallelize tests within a test file. To run the tests: clone the repo, then bundle install then clone the test fixtures by running:

$ bundle exec hatchet install

$ bundle exec rake spec
