Provides 3 methods for declaring when something is going away.
+deprecate(name, repl, year, month)+:
Indicate something may be removed on/after a certain date.
+rubygems_deprecate(name, replacement=:none)+:
Indicate something will be removed in the next major RubyGems version, and (optionally) a replacement for it.
rubygems_deprecate_command:
Indicate a RubyGems command (in +lib/rubygems/commands/*.rb+) will be removed in the next RubyGems version.
Also provides skip_during for temporarily turning off deprecation warnings. This is intended to be used in the test suite, so deprecation warnings don't cause test failures if you need to make sure stderr is otherwise empty.
Example usage of deprecate and rubygems_deprecate:
class Legacy def self.some_class_method # ... end def some_instance_method # ... end def some_old_method # ... end extend Gem::Deprecate deprecate :some_instance_method, "X.z", 2011, 4 rubygems_deprecate :some_old_method, "Modern#some_new_method" class << self extend Gem::Deprecate deprecate :some_class_method, :none, 2011, 4 end end
Example usage of rubygems_deprecate_command:
class Gem::Commands::QueryCommand < Gem::Command extend Gem::Deprecate rubygems_deprecate_command # ... end
Example usage of skip_during:
class TestSomething < Gem::Testcase def test_some_thing_with_deprecations Gem::Deprecate.skip_during do actual_stdout, actual_stderr = capture_output do Gem.something_deprecated end assert_empty actual_stdout assert_equal(expected, actual_stderr) end end end
Simple deprecation method that deprecates name by wrapping it up in a dummy method. It warns on each call to the dummy method telling the user of repl (unless repl is :none) and the Rubygems version that it is planned to go away.
