Ruby version file not working

[José Antonio Sánchez Ortiz]

Hi

We are running a project in an App Engine from several years ago. We are using flexible ruby. We have a .ruby-version file in our application directory, with version 2.6.3, but all the deployments we have tried today are ignoring the .ruby-version file, and they are installing the 2.7.5 ruby version, which fails as we have a dependencies problem. In the app.yaml we have:

  env: flex

  runtime: ruby

We have tested with runtime: ruby26, but always is using ruby 2.7.5, no matters which value we are using in runtime: ruby and in .ruby-version file

Thanks in advance

Hello, 

You are right, the Ruby runtime uses version 2.7.5. Source code is available on GitHub. Related details are to be found in the Overview of the "The Ruby Runtime" documentation page.  

If you need to use a certain version of a programming language, you may consider creating a custom runtime, as documented on the "App Engine custom runtimes documentation" page.

We have a .ruby-version file in our application directory, which contains 2.6.8, as stated in the Overview of the "The Ruby Runtime" documentation page. I have seen in Source code available on GitHub, that now ruby defaults to 2.7.5. But the question is why our .ruby-version file is not taken into account? Documentation says "You can specify which version of the Ruby interpreter to use by providing it as the contents of a .ruby-version file in your application directory"

Thank you in advance
