Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Bhavin Kamani (beekay) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: spork fails to work with rubygems 1.8.0/1.8.1 but works with 1.7.2 Initial Comment: After doing a system upgrade spork fails to work with 1.8.0/1.8.1. It appears to be rubygems issue as stacktrace (https://gist.github.com/956888) leads to a rubygem deprecated method "latest_load_paths". All works well when I revert back to 1.7.2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Harper (timcharper) Date: 2011-05-06 14:38 Message: Well, I feel silly :) Should have read the docs better... find_files is a MUCH better method. I ended up hacking around it by implementing my own latest_load_paths... but yes, find_files is much preferred. Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ryan Davis (zenspider) Date: 2011-05-06 14:31 Message: So you're the one! :P I was wondering who used that call. Google codesearch came up with nothing. We don't have any tests on that function so it escaped the wrath of my last cleanup and is apparently currently (inadvertently) broken. We'll get a fix out for it in a bit but in the meantime, I want to address Tim's question about what to use. I don't know why latest_load_paths was added to rubygems, but I wouldn't use it for what you're doing in the first place. Use Gem.find_files instead. It was intended for exactly this purpose. The rdoc for it will point you in the right direction. You'd probably replace your detect_and_require as well as other_spork_gem_load_paths entirely with something like: Gem.find_files('spork/test_framework/*.rb').each do |path| require path end ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Harper (timcharper) Date: 2011-05-06 09:33 Message: What can a gem author use in place of latest_load_paths? I'm currently using the method to auto discover peer plug-ins (such as Spork-testunit) and activate code in them. With latest_load_paths removed, it seems that I have to resort to scanning the gem paths myself? That's kind of a bummer, if you ask me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=29171&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
