[DRE-maint] Bug#747734: FTBFS: Test "ruby2.1" failed. Exiting.

[Christian Hofstaedtler]

Source: ruby-httparty
Version: 0.13.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source
User: debian-ruby at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ruby2.0-rm

Dear Maintainer,

During a rebuild of ruby-related packages your package failed to
build with these errors:

===================================================================
Failures:

  1) HTTParty::Request parsing responses with non-200 responses 3xx responses calls block given to perform with each redirect
     Failure/Error: response = @request.perform { |chunk| body += chunk }
     TypeError:
       no implicit conversion of nil into String
     # ./spec/httparty/request_spec.rb:371:in `+'
     # ./spec/httparty/request_spec.rb:371:in `block (6 levels) in <top (required)>'
===================================================================

Please note that the default ruby recently has been switched to 2.1
in sid. If your package doesn't already do this, please switch to
the ruby(-all)(-dev) metapackages and `dh_ruby --print-supported`
for detecting the ruby to build for.
(Also, if everything goes according to plan, this is the last ruby
transition for jessie.)

About the test rebuild: this build was done in a rather standard
sbuild/schroot setup, on an amd64 host where PID1 is provided by
systemd, and options passed to sbuild were:
  DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=12

Please find the full build log attached.

Thanks,
  -ch
