Ruby 2.0 or above
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'tombstone'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install tombstone
Not sure if some code is safe to remove? Tombstone it.
Place a Tombstone in your code as follows:
Tombstone.place('YOUR_LABEL')
You can use todays date as a label, to remind yourself of when you placed the Tombstone. When a Tombstone is encountered it will output to your rails development log like so:
Tombstone: 2014-11-01 - index - /Users/lewispb/projects/railsapp/app/controllers/welcome_controller.rb Line #: 5
You can use the following command to search your development log for Tombstones. From the root of your rails app run:
bundle exec tombstone
