Switch JAVA_HOME to 21 for JRuby #721

headius · 2025-03-11T20:53:17Z

JRuby 10 requires Java 21. Since the previous default was 17 and all JRuby releases should work fine on 21, we do this for all JRuby installs.

Implements #718

headius · 2025-03-11T20:56:24Z

@eregon This is a quick attempt to implement what I need.

I am not sure how to detect if the user has already reassigned JAVA_HOME, either manually or by setup-java. It may not be possible.

I am trusting that os.arch() returns x64 or arm64 as expected elsewhere.

Not sure how to make this more robust.

FWIW GitHub may soon bump the default Java to 21, at which point we won't need this anymore.

Interesting, any issue I can follow about that?

headius · 2025-03-11T21:22:02Z

No, I just assume they eventually move the default version up. Obviously they moved it up to 17 at some point.

The JAVA_HOME_* variables use 'arm64' on ARM.

headius · 2025-03-11T21:31:47Z

Latest run appears to be green and handles arch properly on macos. Ruby version shows JRuby is running with 21.

headius · 2025-03-11T21:36:19Z

@eregon Let me know if there's additional work needed here. Whenever this goes live, we can start unpinning jruby-head builds from 9.4.

eregon · 2025-03-11T21:36:27Z

I am not sure how to detect if the user has already reassigned JAVA_HOME, either manually or by setup-java. It may not be possible.

One idea given https://github.com/eregon/actions-shell/actions/runs/13798182243/job/38594765309#step:4:5

JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/temurin-11-jdk-amd64
JAVA_HOME_8_X64
/usr/lib/jvm/temurin-8-jdk-amd64
JAVA_HOME_11_X64
/usr/lib/jvm/temurin-11-jdk-amd64
JAVA_HOME_21_X64
/usr/lib/jvm/temurin-21-jdk-amd64
JAVA_HOME_17_X64
/usr/lib/jvm/temurin-17-jdk-amd64

would be to only set it if JAVA_HOME_21_X64 exists (e.g. might not exist on self-hosted runners) and JAVA_HOME is too old.
That way setup-ruby only overrides JAVA_HOME if strictly necessary.

You could get the Java version from $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version, from reading the release file (might not always be available though), or from finding out which JAVA_HOME_$V_X64 env vars corresponds to JAVA_HOME and then Java version = $V.
That last one seems overkill, java -version seems fast enough, about 27ms when run locally.

common.js

ruby-builder.js

headius · 2025-03-11T21:44:06Z

Detecting the existing JAVA_HOME version is problematic; we'll have to parse the output of either -version or -XinternalVersion or the release file (not available on Java 8) and determine if the major version is > 21. Perhaps the better option would be to simply run jruby -v and if it fails we know we need to force JAVA_HOME or error out if there's no 21 env available.

eregon · 2025-03-11T21:44:36Z

Could you add the check with $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version so it's only set if the default Java is too old?
That seems a lot safer, e.g. wouldn't override a workflow setting JAVA_HOME to 25 or downgrade when e.g. some runner (self-hosted or not) has a default more recent than 21.

headius · 2025-03-11T21:47:36Z

Could you add the check with $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version

I believe a more robust option is to run JRuby and only update JAVA_HOME if it fails.

eregon · 2025-03-11T21:48:02Z

Is parsing the output of -version so tricky? (I don't know)
e.g.

$ java -version
openjdk version "21.0.6" 2025-01-21
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-21.0.6.0.7-1) (build 21.0.6+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-21.0.6.0.7-1) (build 21.0.6+7, mixed mode, sharing)

We could match the first line there, e.g. by matching the first number (/\d+/).

Using jruby -v there would make the logic a lot more complex and brittle so I don't think that's a good way.

eregon · 2025-03-11T21:50:02Z

Feel free to try it, e.g. in another PR.
I suspect it will be rather messy in practice.

Using jruby -v there would make the logic a lot more complex and brittle so I don't think that's a good way.

Parsing version output will be subject to any changes that might happen in the future, and won't parse right if it's not OpenJDK (OpenJ9 has a different -version output for example).

Simply attempting to run jruby -v and checking for success is trivially easy in comparison.

headius · 2025-03-11T22:12:06Z

Not sure why the exec call is producing that error. I am not familiar with how async/await or this exec module work and tried to mimic the other call I saw.

headius · 2025-03-11T22:26:14Z

The new logic is working (update only if ruby --version fails), but of course all JRuby releases it sees are 9.4 and start up fine with Java 17. However the rest of the logic is not changed from what it did before, so it should still be working. I'm not sure how to test both scenarios.

This looks good, just a few more tweaks and it should be ready to be merged.

Yes, I think there is no way to know until we get a JRuby 10 build, i.e. when we switch jruby-dev-builder to use master.
At that point we can trigger a workflow there manually and run the CI here (e.g. on a branch/draft PR) and see if everything is fine, if it's not we can revert the change in jruby-dev-builder & delete the last release there.

This is a require of this file, it seems safer to avoid it, as I guess it might cause some weird stuff.

So these two steps seem to interleave somehow, maybe a missing await then?

FWIW the first ruby --version can take a while on JRuby:
0.74s https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby/actions/runs/13820508511/job/38664613489?pr=721
3.87s https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby/actions/runs/13820508511/job/38664557503?pr=721
2.46s https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby/actions/runs/13820508511/job/38664568863?pr=721

But, we do Print Ruby version ruby --version a second time after for sanity checking and clarity, and that one seems then faster: 0.33-0.37s, so it's the first ruby --version which is very slow.
And indeed before this change e.g. 2.20s https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby/actions/runs/13788121949/job/38560974142

So not a big increase in overall time.

headius · 2025-03-12T20:37:23Z

That first invocation is likely slow just because the JVM itself has to be paged in. I'll contemplate how to do this check more quickly in the future.

Thank you for the assistance.
