LatestStable makes it dead simple to stay up to date with the upstream changes of your gem dependencies.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'latest_stable'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install latest_stable
When you run latest_stable from the terminal in a git directory.
$ latest_stable
It will do the following things for you:
- checks out master and runs your test suite to ensure that tests are passing initially
- checks out a new branch 'update_gems_to_latest_stable'
- gets the list of outdated gems and for each of those
- updates the gem
- reruns your test suite
- commits updated gem if tests pass or reverts update if they fail
Afterwards you'll have a branch with all gems that could cleanly be updated.
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. Run bundle exec latest_stable to use the gem in this directory, ignoring other installed copies of this gem.
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.
