If with crossbow expert and the ruby of the war mage if you can fire things like eldridge blast bolts from your hand crossbow twice in one round when it says that you can attack with a weapon and with your bonus action fire your hand crossbow if the only weapon you have is the hand crossbow and have crossbow expert and the Auto load ability from the Artaficer that would give you two attacks every turn wouldn't it?
Crossbow expert will allow you to use your bonus action to fire your crossbow only if you've used the ATTACK action on your turn. It also allows you to ignore the reload property of crossbows, so the artificer feature is redundant. The best thing about this feat (IMO) is that it also allows you to cast Ranged spell attacks at Melee range without suffering the normal disadvantage associated with making a ranged attack in Melee.
Ruby of the war mage allows you to use a weapon as a spellcasting focus when using the CAST SPELL action, it doesn't change the spell into an attack action. The artillerist artificer similarly allows you to cast your spells from your focus, it doesn't change a spell into an ATTACK action.
So you can use your crossbow to make (@ 5th level) 2 RSA with one cast of EB without triggering the crossbow bonus option or you can make an attack with the crossbow and trigger the bonus action. If you have a feature that gives you extra attack, crossbow expert allows you to fire the weapon on each of those attacks and then again as your bonus action.
Well i have crossbow expert as well as the Artaficer infusion with bows and crossbows with the ruby of war mage so i was trying to see if that makes the bolts magic or does it just mean you can cast from it like a wand

To go along with what everyone has said so far, read up on the 7th level ability for Eldritch Knight Fighter (War Magic). It allows you to cast a cantrip and then make a bonus action melee attack after. The wording for what you are trying to do would have to be closer to that.

Not to mention, you can use your infusions as a Spellcasting focus for your Artificer spells, but not for your Warlock spells.

Ruby of the War Mage allows for that though.
