Move from Travis CI to Github Actions (blocked by Ruby < 2.1 support) #60
Comments

See #58. If no significant requests for support of Docile on EOL (< 2.5) Ruby versions by Feb 1, 2021, the plan is to drop all support for EOL versions. At that point, the move from Travis CI to Github Actions would become unblocked. |

I believe since Ruby 2.1 has been out of maintenance for quite some time at this point (even 2.4 has been dead for a year) it should be fine to just drop support. Also, GitHub have deprecated their own setup ruby action in favor of https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby#supported-versions which actually still supports 2.1.9 if you still want to run CI against it, but honestly I think it's in the best interest of any library users to just drop support for ruby versions that are not receiving security updates any more and force them to update anyway |

@colszowka agreed! There's been no other response here, so I am planning to drop support for < 2.5, and move CI to Github Actions. |

UPDATE: Support for all EOL Rubies (which now means < 2.6) dropped in #65 |
Based on: https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby Re: #60 Some notes on the initial Github Actions config: 1. Set min ruby version to 2.5 in order to support JRuby, which as of 9.2.17.0 has a RUBY_VERSION of 2.5. 2. For CodeCov exclude JRuby and TruffleRuby, to avoid errors sending the results in Github Actions on those jobs rather than debugging them further. 3. Plan is to next remove Travis CI, and then to convert the CodeCov config to use the Github Action for CodeCov (thanks @taichi-ishitani for this suggestion!)

Re: #60 Good bye to Travis CI! You were very appreciated. But today, supporting only Github Actions for CI will enable some additional goals, as well as speeding up builds.
With experience of both, I've found maintenance of CI in Github Actions quite a bit easier than in Travis CI.
Therefore, when the day arrives that we support only Rubies supported in Github Actions, I'd like to plan to transition.
