Description

« Hide

I broke instance variable assignment at some point, and without a task that tries to compile (and fails if something's broken) we would never know it. We need a test that tries to compile everything in stdlib and fails if it cannot. We also need tests that try to compile all our test scripts and run them in a compiled state. This must happen ASAP.

I resolved this in two parts:

the build now attempts to compile all stdlib files, which in the case of a failing class would not verify
there are new targets that run JRuby with the compiler in "force" mode, causing all files to compile completely before executing and failing fast if anything does not compile.

The FORCE targets run as part of the CI run (test-all target). The two items combined should prevent any major, ugly compiler regressions in the future.
