[ruby-core:98209] [Ruby master Misc#16839] Unicode.org - downloads & tests

Issue #16839 has been updated by MSP-Greg (Greg L).


@duerst
Martin,

Thanks for the reply.

As to CI caching, Actions, AppVeyor, and Travis all support it, but there currently is one exception, and that is Actions cron (scheduled) jobs.  Of course, ruby-loco runs as a cron job on Actions and AppVeyor, so every Actions job downloads the Unicode.org files.  Today I had a certificate related error.

I mentioned GitHub partially because there is a Unicode organization account, and normally GitHub is reliable...

Ok to close.

Misc #16839: Unicode.org - downloads & tests
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16839#change-85448

* Author: MSP-Greg (Greg L)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
For quite a while, one can optionally download files from unicode.org, and the files enable additional tests.

Are these tests worthwhile?  Some CI uses them, others not.

If above is true:

For the second time in a few weeks, downloading the files has failed.  I've gotten the impression that some people here are involved with Unicode.org.  Might it consider having the files mirrored as GitHub releases so downloading them for CI use is reliable?
