Is anyone else getting annoying warning messages?

/usr/local/bin/rails:17:Warning: require_gem is obsolete.  Use gem
instead.

I get these messages when using the rails command, rake, script/generate
etc etc.

I'm using Rails 1.2.1

You can fix it in environment.rb.  Find the 'require_gem' lines and 
replace them with 'gem'

This has more to do with the new rubygems than rails - new versions of 
everything seem to be coming out at once!

Actually, do:

    gem pristine --all

I don't think that'll work. I did it on my machine immediatly I upgraded 
gems, and *still* had to fix my rails app.

I got the impression it only fixed the binstubs - 'rails', 'rake', 'cap' 
etc  I dont think it'll search out uses of require_gem in rb files on 
your machine ?

You're right. The moment I saw it, I thought it was the 'official' fix. 
I was wrong. Doing a `rake db:migrate` produces the warning. Very 
irritating.

Here's the ticket for it:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6886

I hope it'll get fixed soon. It's very off-putting seeing that warning 
each time doing something.

You can fix it by editing your environment.rb as described earlier in 
the thread.

boot.rb contains the `require_gem` piece of code.

# gem update

    undefined method `refresh' for #<Hash:0xb7da43d4>

this is the only type of gem command that will not toss that error...

I'm pretty sure that I am not alone with this problem since upgrading to
gem 0.9.1

Removing

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/source_cache

solved the problem for me.
