DEPRECATED: This gem should not be used anymore.

As of June 2021, sorbet-runtime-stub is no more maintained and no further versions will be published.

We decided to stop supporting this gem for multiple reasons:

  • It's not feature complete (missing T::Struct support and other Sorbet delicacies)
  • It's hard to keep up-to-date with the real sorbet-runtime
  • It provides a false sense of security for the users

You should include sorbet-runtime and disable the checks you don't want to apply in production env.

If you're in the Shopify org, take a look at https://github.com/shopify/shopify-types.

sorbet-runtime-stub

This gem provides stub definitions for all the T namespace that Sorbet type signatures need for runtime. This is appropriate for people who want nothing to do with sorbet-runtime when their code is being run.

Disclaimer: This gem is being used in our applications but there are some still features missing and it may have some sharp edges.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sorbet-runtime-stub'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sorbet-runtime-stub

Usage

The most critical thing when loading sorbet-runtime-stub is to never overwrite methods defined by sorbet-runtime, since this would cause silent suppression of runtime type checking.

Thus, this gem will never load stub definitions if sorbet-runtime is present as a loadable gem in the application context. This means that on projects that do not use Bundler, this gem will not install stub definitions, if sorbet-runtime is installed as a gem (but it will also not load sorbet-runtime). On projects that use Bundler, this gem will not install stub definitions, if sorbet-runtime exists in the Gemfile for the currently running group.

Thus, if you don't want to load sorbet-runtime in a production environment in a Rails app, you need to use:

if ENV['RAILS_ENV'] == 'production'
  require 'sorbet-runtime-stub'
else
  require 'sorbet-runtime'
end

and add sorbet-runtime to your Gemfile only for development and test groups.

If you are developing a gem that uses Sorbet in development but don't want the runtime typechecking to affect other code, you can conditionally load the runtime stubs at the top of your gem's code:

require 'sorbet-runtime-stub' unless defined?(T)

You can then require the regular sorbet-runtime in your development-only files (e.g. test helpers, Rakefiles).

Missing features

Some feature from sorbet-runtime like T::Enum and T::Struct as still not supported.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. 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 tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
