undefined method `shellescape' for Shellwords:Module

[wrengr]

I get the following error when trying to create a new git clone of a darcs repo:

darcs-to-git:169:in `output_of': undefined method `shellescape' for Shellwords:Module (NoMethodError)
    from darcs-to-git:169:in `map'
    from darcs-to-git:169:in `output_of'
    from darcs-to-git:460

Setup:

• darcs-to-git 0.2
• darcs 2.5
• git 2.2.1
• ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [universal-darwin9.0]
• OS X 10.5.8

Fixed by upgrading to Ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) [i386-darwin9.0]

Ah, yes, that method was added in Ruby 1.9. I should add a version check.

I seem to have Ruby 1.8.7 where Ruby is available at all. It seems that this version is actually sufficient (see tangentially the first sentence in this StackOverflow question). I'm looking at Ubuntu 12.04 and Debian Squeeze. The following change allowed me to import a Darcs repo on Ruby 1.8.7.

@tripleee Okay, so 0c4351b should fix things for you. Please let me know if it doesn't.

Wow, thanks for a really quick fix!

Happy to help. :-)
