Closes #749.

Introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow that automates the creation of GitHub releases. The workflow is triggered on push events to tags that start with 'v', and it extracts release notes from the RELEASE.md file based on the tag version. The extracted notes are then used as the body of the created release.

Future considerations:

  • Streamline more/the rest of the release process and reduce manual effort.
  • Do this in a CircleCI instead of a GitHub workflow for uniformity and lower cognitive load. I didn't do that here because I didn't have the github token for use in CircleCI.

Testing

Verified the outcome of this workflow by updating RELEASE.md and pushing a tag to a local branch. The created release contains the extracted notes for just that release.

I ran the following command:

    bundle exec rubocop --auto-gen-config
i.e.

* `once` is equivalent to `times(1)`
* `twice` is equivalent to `times(2)`
* `at_least_once` is equivalent to `at_least(1)`
* `at_most_once` is equivalent to `at_most(1)`
Make it clearer that `Expectation#times` can be called with either a
number or a range.

Improvements to docs for cardinality related methods
Modifies expectation so that the expected method must be called exactly
three times. While the word "thrice" is somewhat archaic english,
there's no harm in providing it for those that want to use it.

Note that we've also had to re-generate the rubocop TODO list mainly to
cope with the longer length of the `Expectation` class definition using
the following command:

    bundle exec rubocop --auto-gen-config
This version has been EOL since 31 Mar 2017 [1], which is almost 8 years
ago.

`Mocha::Configuration#stubbing_method_on_nil` and `StubbingNilTest` are
now moot, because as of Ruby v2.2 `nil` is frozen.  The behaviour tested
in the latter is already tested in the more generic
`StubbingFrozenObjectTest`. See this commit [2] for details.

Closes freerange#628.

This brings the gemspec description more into line with that in the
README. Note that the gemspec description is used on rubygems.org [1].

Closes freerange#692.

I was seeing the following warning when I run bundle exec rake lint
locally with Ruby v3.3.6:

    ~/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.3.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/rubocop-0.58.2/lib/rubocop.rb:607:
    warning: base64 was loaded from the standard library, but will no longer be part of the default gems starting from Ruby 3.4.0.
    You can add base64 to your Gemfile or gemspec to silence this warning.

I imagine newer versions of rubocop might include this as an explicit
dependency or maybe it has become unnecessary, but this fixes the
immediate problem for me.

Closes freerange#703.
The base64 gem does not support Ruby v2.2 and so the previous commit [1]
was causing a CI build failure [2].

In preparation for the Ruby v3.4 release.
I was seeing the following warning when I ran `bundle exec rake lint`
locally with Ruby v3.4.0-rc1:

…d-matrix

Add Ruby v3.4 to CI build matrix
I was seeing the following warnings with Ruby v3.4:

    test/method_definer.rb:3: warning: redefining 'object_id' may cause serious problems
    test/method_definer.rb:3: warning: redefining '__id__' may cause serious problems

* Assert the string representation of the object instead of just the
  pattern.
* Actually check `Object#id` is not called as implied by the test name.
* Ignore the Ruby warning when `Object#object_id` is redefined.

Closes freerange#709.
Fix Ruby v3.4 warnings in ObjectInspectTest
Most of the complication in the default `Gemfile` was to do with rubocop
dependencies/compatibility. Extracting this separate
`gemfiles/Gemfile.rubocop` simplifies the default `Gemfile` at the cost
of making it slightly more complicated to run the `lint` rake task.
This is what I've been using locally for some time without any problems.
* This means we can considerably simplify `gemfiles/Gemfile.rubocop`,
  because we no longer need any of the workarounds.
* I've regenerated the `.rubocop_todo.yml` file.
* `Metrics/LineLength` has moved to `Layout/LineLength`.
* The equivalent of the `IgnoredPatterns` attribute in
  `Metrics/LineLength` for `Layout/LineLength` is `AllowedPatterns`.
* I have not *yet* opted in to a bunch of *new* cops, so the output is
  quite verbose.
* Similarly, I haven't *yet* opted in to new cops by default by enabling
  the `AllCops/NewCops` config option.
* There is a tip suggesting the `rubocop-rake` extension might be useful
  which I plan to address separately.
And re-generate to-do list.
I had to change the line numbers of a couple of assertions to match the
new line numbers after the blank lines were added.

This means the full list of documentation-related rake tasks is:

rake docs              # Prepare documentation for publication on GitHub Pages
rake docs:clobber      # Remove generated documentation
rake docs:coverage     # Check documentation coverage
rake docs:ensure_cname # Ensure custom domain remains in place for docs on GitHub Pages
rake docs:ensure_js    # Ensure custom JavaScript files remain in place for docs on GitHub Pages
rake docs:generate     # Generate documentation

I've disabled the `Metrics/BlockLength` cop in the whole `Rakefile`,
because the cop seems less important in the context of a DSL like rake.

Rename respond_to? to stubba_respond_to? to better reflect its purpose
as part of a mocha contract.

`Mockery#on_stubbing` now uses `stubba_respond_to?` instead of the
generic `respond_to?` to check if an object responds to a method before
stubbing it.

Added `ObjectMethods#stubba_respond_to?` to provide a consistent
interface for checking if an object responds to a method.

The new `#stubba_respond_to?` methods:

* are like `respond_to?` and unlike `respond_to_missing?`, because they
don't let method definitions in `ObjectMethods` or `AnyInstance`
affect its outcome.

* make the internal/service provider contract implemented by
`AnyInstance` & `ObjectMethods` explicit and independent of Ruby
core/standard API.
As stated in commits e423977, 33e373c, fddebc3:

> Ideally I would've configured the extra `AllowedMethods` to only apply
> to the tests, but I couldn't find a simple way to do that with the
> rubocop configuration. It might be worth extracting a separate rubocop
> configuration for the tests.

Here we do just that.
Rename `respond_to?` -> `stubba_respond_to?`
stubbee is the thing that's stubbed - more specifically, the object on
which .stubs or .mocks is called. Therefore, it's also the object that
holds a reference to mocha. That's why it was called mock_owner earlier.

stubba_object is the object through which we get hold of the
stubba_class on which stubbed methods reside. In case of AnyInstance,
that class is the stubba_object itself, while in case of Instance, it's
the singleton class of the stubba_object.
Rename `#stubbee` -> `#stubba_object` and `#mock_owner` -> `#stubbee`
Also, an explicit message before exiting is unnecessary in our context
since any warnings will be right there
The earlier export was probably having no effect.

The circleci 'Set an environment variable' doc [1] states:

Since every run step is a new shell, environment variables are not
shared across steps. If you need an environment variable to be
accessible in more than one step, export the value using
BASH_ENV.

@nitishr This looks good to me - thank you!

Streamline more/the rest of the release process and reduce manual effort.

Agreed.

Do this in a CircleCI instead of a GitHub workflow for uniformity and lower cognitive load. I didn't do that here because I didn't have the github token for use in CircleCI.

I think I'd probably move the CI build to GitHub Actions instead unless you can think of a good reason not to.

Verified the outcome of this workflow by updating RELEASE.md and pushing a tag to a local branch. The created release contains the extracted notes for just that release.

Thanks for testing it. I'd quite like to retrospectively create releases for all the existing release tags, so perhaps I can use the same (or a similar) script to do that when I have time and use that as a bit of a test...?
