Motivation
As reported in #1767 (comment), the
mri
platform indeed excludes Windows. Without the right platform constraints, usingdebug
on Windows is not possible.Implementation
I reached out to the RubyGems team and apparently there's no platform constraint for MRI on any operating system.
They suggested using
install_if
as a workaround. This isn't exactly the same as a platform constraint, but it seems to achieve the same from practical standpoint.Automated Tests
Added a test that should guarantee that
debug
is available on the platforms we support.
