lists your app's unused gems
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'dead_gems'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install dead_gems
DeadGems::find is the main entry point. It takes the path to your project's root (which should contain your Gemfile) and a shell command to use in that project that should touch as much of your code as possible.
NOTE This will take a long time as it uses TracePoint to check the source location of every method call to see if the code being leveraged is in a gem directory.
# First make sure to backup any changes you have (e.g. commit them to git, stash them, etc)
$ irb
$ irb(main)> require 'dead_gems'
$ irb(main)> DeadGems.find('~/my_slow_project', 'bundle exec rake test')
# You can also specify the path to your test helper if you are using RSpec or something
$ irb(main)> DeadGems.find('~/my_slow_project', 'bundle exec rake test', test_helper: 'spec/spec_helper.rb')This will run my project's tests and output all of the gems that aren't used in my tests.
