`dogapi` dependency using old version of `json` gem, breaking install
mcfiredrill opened this issue · 9 comments
What went wrong?
I can't install this Gem anymore, as it has a dependency a version of the Gem dogapi that has a dependency on an older version of the json Gem which doesn't work on my version of Ruby.
What steps did you follow?
I have a Gemfile :
source 'http://rubygems.org'
#Backup related gems
gem 'backup'
gem 'dotenv'
I run bundle and get this output.

Tell us about the computer that runs the backup gem

It looks like dogapi Gem is use for a notifier, I'm guessing not everyone uses this feature. Maybe this could not be a hard requirement in the gemspec, but instead raise if the Gem is not installed?
Do you think there's a more recent version of dogapi that would depend on a more recent version of the json gem ? If there isn't, we could indeed consider dropping the hard requirement
I have the same issue. What is the current version I can install on Debian 10 without this problem at the moment ? Thanks.
I'm working on a PR with an update of all those deps. I'll need you folks (@aurels & @mcfiredrill) to test it
Okay !
In the meantime I was able to install this version : -v5.0.0.beta.2
@aurels That's weird because it has dependencies on gems which depends on the wrong json
@aurels I've released v5.0.0.beta.3
That would be lovely if you were willing to give it a spin !
Yes I'll try when I'm at my computer ;-)
@elthariel I confirm that gem install backup -v5.0.0.beta.3 passes on another Debian 10 (after installing all dev dependencies one by one). Hope it helps !
