kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 e6f552ca0a fix(install): provision minitest next to ruby on Arch and the RedHat family
The Manjaro workspace job failed test-unit-ruby with "cannot load such
file -- minitest". Debian vendors minitest in libruby, but Arch ships it
as ruby-minitest and Fedora and CentOS Stream as rubygem-minitest, none
of which ruby pulls in. ensure_ruby_present now probes
`require "minitest"` and installs the distro package when the probe
fails, then fails loudly if minitest is still missing.

utils/install

This directory hosts the Python implementation behind make install-lint. For the general rules that govern READMEs in code directories see documentation.md.

Purpose

The package installs the lint toolchain (actionlint, shfmt, ruff, ansible-lint, mbake, markdownlint-cli2, eslint, shellcheck, ansible-playbook, ansible-galaxy) using the right channel per tool (system package manager, pip, npm, or GitHub release). Modules at this level are channel-agnostic primitives; per-tool policy lives one level down in lint/.

Structure

File Role
primitives.py Logging, sudo wrapping, PATH mutation, and stdlib-based URL download.
pip.py Venv-aware pip installer with --break-system-packages and --user fallback.
npm.py Global / local npm install with per-user --prefix fallback.
github_release.py Latest-tag resolver and asset downloader for GitHub releases.
system_pkg.py Per-manager dispatch for pacman / apt-get / dnf / yum / brew.
lint/ One module per tool, each exposing ensure(). See lint README.

The CLI entry point lives at __main__.py, invoked from lint.sh as python3 -m utils.install.lint. The matching dispatcher wrapper.sh routes make install-lint host vs container based on INFINITO_LINT_RUNNER.

File Naming

  • Module names MUST stay lowercase snake_case.
  • Channel-agnostic helpers MUST live directly under utils/install/.
  • Per-tool policy (one tool per file) MUST live under lint/ (see lint README).
  • Test files live in tests/unit/python/utils/install/ and mirror the module name with a test_ prefix.

Import Rules

  • primitives.py MUST NOT import from any other module in this package.
  • pip.py, npm.py, github_release.py, and system_pkg.py MAY import from primitives.py.
  • npm.py MAY import from system_pkg.py to bootstrap npm itself; no other cross-imports between these four are allowed.
  • Per-tool modules under lint/ MUST NOT import each other (see lint README).
