it is posible to install multiple ruby versions??

[blackjid]

something like this

rbenv:
  rbenv_versions: 
  - 2.0.0-p538
  - 2.1.0

Hi @blackjid! At this moment no. Until April, I will not have time to add this functionality.

[blackjid]

I'd be happy to make a PR...
could you please point me in the right direction???
what should be the definitions??

- role: zzet.rbenv
      rbenv_users:
        - deploy
      ruby_versions: 
        - 2.0.0-p643
        - 2.1.2
      ruby_global_version: 2.0.0-p643

something like that?

If we talk about users and the version of Ruby - then we have a matrix:

      rbenv_users:
        - deploy
        - other
      ruby_versions: 
        - 2.0.0-p643
        - 2.1.2

for deploy and other user will installed all ruby versions from list. I think this is not correct.
It is better for each user to specify which version to put:

like as

- rbenv_install:
  - user: deploy
    versions:
      - 2.0.0-p643
      - 2.1.2

or as hash

{ rbenv_install: [
    { user: deploy, versions: [2.0.0-p643, 2.1.2] },
    { user: other, versions: [2.1.2] }
]}

I need to take a break and think about how best to do this. We should bear in mind that this is a rare case and role overload is not necessary. Most users will want to install 1 ruby version for 1 or more users. If we say that we need to put more than one version, you should talk about what you need or different users on different versions of one or several versions, but at the same time indicate which of them is used by default. For example last defined in versions list, or specify version as key

- rbenv_install:
  - user: deploy
    versions:
      - 2.0.0-p643
      - 2.1.2
    default:
      - 2.0.0-p643

In addition, changes in key version may be a surprise to those who already use role. After these changes will be released major version.

@blackjid If you have any thoughts on this issue - I will be glad to consider them

Hi @blackjid!

I think this definitions is good (based on default settings):

rbenv:
  env: system
  version: v0.4.0
  ruby_version: 2.2.0 # For system install only

# ....

rbenv_install:
  - user: deploy
    ruby_versions:
      - 2.0.0-p643
      - 2.1.2
    default: 2.0.0-p643

  - user: other
    ruby_versions:
      - 2.2.0
      - 2.1.2
    default: 2.2.0

  - user: old
    ruby_versions:
      - 1.9.3
    default: 1.9.3

# or 
# rbenv_install: 
#   - { user: deploy, ruby_versions: [2.0.0-p643, 2.1.2], default: 2.0.0-p643 }
#   - { user: other,  ruby_versions: [2.2.0, 2.1.2],      default: 2.2.0 }
#   - { user: other,  ruby_versions: [1.9.3],             default: 1.9.3 }

What do you think about it?

[blackjid]

I like it,
looks very good, very clear and all the use cases I can think of are there.

[zzet]

@blackjid you are planning to prepare PR?

[blackjid]

mm, here is the thing... I offered to create a PR... i know... but I ended up creating a role specific for my use case.... why? I don't need some of the feature of this role, such as multi-user installations, but I need other features besides multiple-rubies such as aliases and per ruby gem installations

The thing is that I'd be happy to provide a PR, but i'm not in a hurry now, (I was when I opened the issue)

[zzet]

What do you mean about aliases? (you can open separated issues for discussion of this features, this issue only for multiple-rubies installation)

[pcriv]

Hey @blackjid @zzet i also had to create my own role to support multiple rubies.. https://github.com/pablocrivella/ansible-role-rbenv
My approach is different tho, also i tried to organize tasks on a pretty way 😅
Maybe we could merge the bests parts of each role into this one since it's the most used by the community.

[zzet]

Hi @pablocrivella . You can send pull request.

[UnderGreen]

I can implement this FR on weekend

[zzet]

@UnderGreen it's cool

[zzet]

Hi @UnderGreen . Do you plan implement this FR?

[TomNaessens]

[jufemaiz]

Any movement on this?
