Silencer

A gem to silence ruby warnings from other gem dependencies.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add gem-silencer

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install gem-silencer

You need to define a .silencer.yml file in the root of your project. The file should contain a list of gems that you want to silence warnings from. For example:

httpclient:
  version: 2.8.3
  patterns:
    - literal string will be frozen

When you update any gem listed in the .silencer.yml file, this gem will raise an error so you can verify that the warning has not been addressed in the updated version. If the warning has been resolved, you can remove the gem from the .silencer.yml file. If not, you can update the version number in the .silencer.yml file to match the new version.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
