Ruby Temporal Examples

This directory contains examples demonstrating different features or this library and Temporal.

To try these out you need to have a running Temporal service (setup instructions).

Install all the gem dependencies by running:

bundle install

Modify the init.rb file to point to your Temporal cluster.

Start the three worker processes. Each of these uses a different task queue because there are differences in how their payloads are serialized. You typically want to do this by running each line in a separate terminal or via tmux or similar.

bin/worker
USE_ENCRYPTION=1 bin/worker
USE_ERROR_SERIALIZATION_V2=1 bin/worker

Use this command to trigger one of the example workflows from the workflows directory:

bin/trigger NAME_OF_THE_WORKFLOW [argument_1, argument_2, ...]

Testing

To run tests, make sure the temporal server is running:

docker-compose up

Run the register_namespace script to ensure the ruby-samples namespace and necessary search attributes have been created:

bin/register_namespace

Follow the instructions above to start the three worker proceses.

To execute the tests, run:

bundle exec rspec

To add a new test that uses a new workflow or new activity, make sure to register those new workflows and activities by modifying the bin/worker file and adding them there. After any changes to that file, restart the worker process to pick up the new registrations.
