[ruby-talk:444731] [ANN] ruby_parser 3.22.0 Released
by Ryan Davis 21 Dec '25

21 Dec '25

ruby_parser version 3.22.0 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/seattlerb/ruby_parser> * bugs: <https://github.com/seattlerb/ruby_parser/issues> * rdoc: <http://docs.seattlerb.org/ruby_parser> ruby_parser (RP) is a ruby parser written in pure ruby (utilizing racc--which does by default use a C extension). It outputs s-expressions which can be manipulated and converted back to ruby via the ruby2ruby gem. As an example: def conditional1 arg1 return 1 if arg1 == 0 return 0 end becomes: s(:defn, :conditional1, s(:args, :arg1), s(:if, s(:call, s(:lvar, :arg1), :==, s(:lit, 0)), s(:return, s(:lit, 1)), nil), s(:return, s(:lit, 0))) Tested against 801,039 files from the latest of all rubygems (as of 2013-05): * 1.8 parser is at 99.9739% accuracy, 3.651 sigma * 1.9 parser is at 99.9940% accuracy, 4.013 sigma * 2.0 parser is at 99.9939% accuracy, 4.008 sigma * 2.6 parser is at 99.9972% accuracy, 4.191 sigma * 3.0 parser has a 100% parse rate. * Tested against 2,672,412 unique ruby files across 167k gems. * As do all the others now, basically. Changes: ### 3.22.0 / 2025-12-20 * 1 major enhancement: * Announced the EOL of ruby_parser! YAY! * 6 minor enhancements: * 3.3: working down the grammar structural differences. * Added tentative 3.4 support. * Renamed assignable to old_assignable and added newer cleaner assignable * Restructured comparison rake tasks and normalization to deal with lrama changes. * Updated compare versions and added 3.4. * Updated grammars to fit most closely to ruby 3.2. Working it down the line. * 11 bug fixes: * Always raise RubyParser::SyntaxError (wrap and raise). * Bumped ruby version to 3.2+. * Cleaned up user_variable productions to always return sexps. * Corrections and enhancements for gauntlet.md instructions. * Fixed rake compare's clean subtask to nuke the unpacked ruby dirs entirely. * Fixed superclass of V34. * Fixed up a couple errors created by using STRICT_SEXP=2. 3 will be neigh impossible. * I am nothing if not stubborn: fixed errors caused by STRICT_SEXP=3. * Minor fixes for 3.2+ grammars on "defined?" expressions. * Removed a lot of ancient compatibility checks and patches. (eg encodings) * This in turn cleaned up var_ref and a bunch of other productions.

I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity." -- Wayne E. Seguin minitest/test is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework. It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and readable. minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto minitest/test and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec expectations. minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb co-worker doesn't replace your linear algorithm with an exponential one! minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test output. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too. :P minitest/test is meant to have a clean implementation for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working test suite.

(again) * 8 deaths in the family(!!): * Deleted MiniTest and MiniTest::Unit::TestCase compatibility namespaces. * Deleted all use of Marshal for serialization. * Deleted maglev? and rubinius? guard methods. LOL. * Deleted all minitest/spec expectations from Object. Use _/value/expect. * Dropped minitest/mock.rb. This has been extracted to the minitest-mock gem. * assert_equal(nil, value) no longer allowed. Use assert_nil to be explicit. * Removed assert_send. Use assert_predicate or assert_operator. * Removed Minitest::Test#class_name. * 7 major (oft incompatible) changes: * Big: Major refactored MT6's run path! * Minitest.__run -> Minitest.run_all_suites * Runnable.run -> Runnable.run_suite & Runnable.filter_runnable_methods * Runnable.run_one_method -> Runnable.run * Removed Minitest.run_one_method (might bring it back to raise?) * Removed deprecated ENV["N"] to specify number of parallel tests. Use MT_CPU. * Renamed options[:filter] to options[:include], added --include cmdline option. * --name is still handled, but that will be removed in the future. * Renamed Minitest::Runnable#test_order to #run_order. * If #message is passed a proc then that proc overrides all other output. * They are no longer chained! * And it does less for formatting of your output. * Removed reporter arg from with_info_handler as it has never(?) been used. (HACK?) * Plugin loading is now opt-in! * Require the plugin in your test_helper. * Or use Minitest.load :x * Or call Minitest.load_plugins for the old autoloading behavior. * 5 additions: * Added minitest-sprint's minitest cmdline, now with line support! * Added minitest-bisect. Run with minitest --bisect or -b. * Added minitest-server. * Added minitest/complete to help with shell's tab-completion of tests. * Vendored latest version of path_expander. * 5 other: * Bumped to ruby 3.2+. * Removed obsolete conditional for CompositeReporter#prerecord. * Removed obsolete version guards around Minitest::Result in reporters. * assert_operator and assert_predicate both call assert_respond_to first. * Assertions reuse themselves a lot more.
