JRuby support for Google Ads API ruby client library

[Robert Heise]

Hi,

I've been using the Google AdWords API ruby client library successfully for years with JRuby. Due to the announced sunset of the Google AdWords API and replacement by Google Ads API, I looked into the first production release of the Google Ads API ruby client library, which was released March 5th, 2019 (https://rubygems.org/gems/google-ads-googleads). When I tried installing the gem, I was surprised about the breaking change, that the gem simply doesn't support JRuby any more. Actually it's the dependencies google-protobuf and grpc gems which are not available for JRuby. I searched in these respective library repositories and noticed, that other people also do miss the JRuby support for them (e.g. see https://github.com/grpc/proposal/pull/13 or https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/6705). GRPC obviously works with Java, since there are Java libs for it, so I wonder whether the aforementioned gem dependencies could be published for JRuby to enable the Google Ads API ruby client library for JRuby.

The Google Ads API ruby client library not supporting JRuby any more is a very sad breaking change and makes the migration from the Google AdWords API gem a lot more difficult. So before going the difficult way, I wanted to ask if there are any plans (and a timeframe) for JRuby support in the official Google Ads API ruby client library ((https://rubygems.org/gems/google-ads-googleads).

I posted this request/question already via the Send Feedback option on the Google Ads API documentation page and also asked for it directly in a Google Ads API Workshop. Unfortunately, those channels have no response channel, so I'm raising the question here.

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Robert,

I will raise a feature request on your behalf to get a Ruby client library. Although I cannot give a time frame, you can follow our blog to get any announcements regarding this.
