Editing environment.rb files

Ruby
1

I did a search on the internet to try to find a way to get rid of
message:
C:0:Warning: require_gem is obsolete. Use gem instead.

I found in an old archive, the following suggestion:
"You can fix it in environment.rb. Find the ‘require_gem’ lines and
replace them with ‘gem’ "

When I do a search on my computer for this environment.rb file, I
find several of them in various folders, but many do not show up as to
their location. If I right click on them from the search window, (This
is all in Windows XP), it has an open option, but no open with option.
So I don’t know how to get to that environment.rb file. I can change
all othe others but not sure if that will change these Ruby files.

Hi Rae,
The environment.rb suggestion is only if you use Ruby on Rails. The
warning is given by libraries you might use that are out of date, and
use the recently deprecated require_gem, you need to wwait for the
maintainer to update the package

Hi Rae,

  • Show quoted text -
    Thanks for the reply.
    I use InstantRails.exe .
    I’m not sure what you mean by
    “wait[ing] for the maintainer to update the package.”

But if its not going to affect my ability to play with the program or
run tutorials and such, I won’t worry about it.

As usual, the best way to do anything in Windows is to do it in DOS :slight_smile:
Start -> Run… cmd

C:> dir \environment.rb /s

will find you all the files (with their locations!), and

C:> edit \path\to\environment.rb

will let you edit them.

Regards,

Brian.

It won’t have any affect other than being annoying. An update to Instant
Rails is coming soon.
