disable deprecation warnings

in ruby or rails

by rolf

NOTE: Gem::Specification#rubyforge_project= is deprecated with no replacement. It will be removed on or after 2019-12-01.

This isn't a life-threatening warning, but annoying...In my case, it occurred becouse the gemfile referred to an older version af a installed gem. To remove this message, add to your ~/.bashrc:

    export RUBYOPT='-W:no-deprecated -W:no-experimental'

But be aware, the best way is to find the gem with #rubyforge_project specified in its gemspec, and update this gem...

Take a second look at your terminal, and look for a warning like these:

    Gem::Specification#rubyforge_project= called from /Users/rolf/.rvm/gems
    /ruby-2.5.5/specifications/archive-zip-0.12.0.gemspec:16.

This means that you have to remove this specific version, perhaps, more, depending on the amount of warnings - for this gem, or any other gems. In my case, a lot...

For example, let's go with 'archive-zip'.

    gem uninstall archive-zip

It will remove the gem, prompt to select a version, or you can remove all. Gem install archive-zip will install the latest version. This solution takes more time, but I think simply disabling warnings isn't something we should go for...

happy days ;-)

versioning applications

easy and concise versioning by the app_verion gem

by rolf

Started looking for an easy way to version my applications a few years ago. Bumped into the app_version-gem, which by then was pretty basic. For convenience reasons, I added a few rake tasks. When I recently looked at it again, I found the tests not working anymore, and more things to do...
