Skip pattern matching tests when running on older versions of Rubocop

[G-Rath]

Follow up to #294

I don't know why but these two pattern matching tests throw parsing errors on Rubocop <1.52 - I can't find anything in the changelog to indicate what actually changed in v1.52, nor can I reproduce this locally outside of the test suite; I've also checked the versions of other gems (notably rubocop-ast) and confirmed the issues seems to be within rubocop itself.

Since there are only two tests impacted I think this is fine - even if no one spends the time figuring out the specifics to improve this, eventually it'll go away when support for Ruby 2.7 and older versions of Rubocop are dropped 🤷

Before submitting the PR make sure the following are checked:

• The PR relates to only one subject with a clear title and description in grammatically correct, complete sentences.
• Wrote good commit messages.
• Commit message starts with [Fix #issue-number] (if the related issue exists).
• Feature branch is up-to-date with master (if not - rebase it).
• Squashed related commits together.
• Added tests.
• Ran bundle exec rake default. It executes all tests and runs RuboCop on its own code.
• Added an entry (file) to the changelog folder named {change_type}_{change_description}.md if the new code introduces user-observable changes. See changelog entry format for details.

Actually, the parsing of Ruby source code depends on the Ruby version used for analysis, not the runtime Ruby version.
Can you update it to refer value of target_ruby_version instead of RuboCop's version?

[G-Rath]

Ok right I see what you mean - it's the (default) version of Ruby being targeted by Rubocop, which got changed to 2.7 in v1.50 which is why those versions pass.

I've updated my check :)

Ah, I'm sorry, it seems I misunderstood this. Can you revert to the previous implementation?

However, it appears the tests fail with RuboCop 1.50, not 1.51. And,

    segments = Gem::Version.new(RuboCop::Version.version).segments

-   # pattern matching cannot be parsed until v1.52 for some reason
-   skip if segments[0] <= 1 && segments[2] <= 51
+   skip 'Pattern matching tests fail for some reason until version 1.51.' if segments[0] <= 1 && segments[2] <= 50
    segments = Gem::Version.new(RuboCop::Version.version).segments

Note: The following is repro steps with RuboCop 1.50:

I don't think you did? I agree with the new change - the issue is with the version of Ruby that Rubocop is targeting, and it happens the default changed in v1.50 (which yes I realised I mixed up with v1.51); both versions of my fix would work but checking the RuboCop target version is the better one because technically just because the default target Ruby version is now 2.7, you could change it back to 2.6.

As indicated by the failing test, it was not the Ruby version or pattern matching that caused the flaky tests:
https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop-minitest/actions/runs/8134207387/job/22226821848?pr=304

The issue is a race condition caused by the implementation of the AssertOffense testing module. As a workaround, I have opened #305. Thank you for investigating.
