GoGem

Helpers for compiling Go extensions for ruby

Installation

Add below.

spec.add_dependency "go_gem"

Usage

create_go_makefile

create_go_makefile is an extension of create_makefile.

Add a task and hacks to build Go against the Makefile generated by create_makefile.

e.g.

# ext/GEM_NAME/extconf.rb

require "mkmf"
require "go_gem/mkmf" # Append this

# Use create_go_makefile instead of create_makefile
# create_makefile("example/example")
create_go_makefile("example/example")

# Pass debug flags to `go build`
create_go_makefile("example/example", go_build_args: "-gcflags='all=-N -l'")

GoGem::RakeTask

Provides rake tasks for go test with CRuby

Example (Without config)

# Rakefile
require "go_gem/rake_task"

GoGem::RakeTask.new("gem_name")

Following tasks are generated

• rake go:test

• rake go:testrace

• rake go:fmt

• rake go:build_envs

• rake go:mod_tidy

Example (With config)

# Rakefile
require "go_gem/rake_task"

GoGem::RakeTask.new("gem_name") do |t|
  t.task_namespace = "go5"
  t.go_bin_path = "/path/to/go"
  t.go_test_args = "-mod=readonly"
  t.target_dir = "/dir/to/go-mod/"
end

Following tasks are generated

• rake go5:test

• rake go5:testrace

• rake go5:fmt

• rake go5:build_envs

• rake go5:mod_tidy

Example (Add additional tasks)

# Rakefile
require "go_gem/rake_task"

go_task = GoGem::RakeTask.new("gem_name")

namespace :go do
  desc "Run golangci-lint"
  task :lint do
    go_task.within_target_dir do
      sh "which golangci-lint" do |ok, _|
        raise "golangci-lint isn't installed. See. https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/install/" unless ok
      end

      build_tag = GoGem::Util.ruby_minor_version_build_tag
      sh GoGem::RakeTask.build_env_vars, "golangci-lint run --build-tags #{build_tag} --modules-download-mode=readonly"
    end
  end
end

Example (Use golangci/golangci-lint-action)

jobs:
  go-lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v6
      - uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
        with:
          bundler-cache: true

      - name: export CGO_CFLAGS for golangci-lint
        run: bundle exec rake go:build_envs[CGO_CFLAGS] >> $GITHUB_ENV

      - name: export BUILD_TAG for golangci-lint
        run: echo "BUILD_TAG=$(bundle exec rake go:build_tag)" >> $GITHUB_ENV

      - name: Run golangci-lint
        uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v9
        with:
          args: --build-tags ${{ env.BUILD_TAG }} --modules-download-mode=readonly

Available configurations

• task_namespace : task namespace (default: :go)

• go_bin_path : path to go binary (default: "go")

• go_test_args : argument passed to go test (default: "-mod=readonly -count=1")

• target_dir : directory when executing go commands. (default: "ext/#{gem_name}")

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
