Cease

cease is a tool that scans for Ruby code marked as EOL.

Install via rubygems:

gem install cease

Run it:

cease [directory_or_source_file]*

Given a source file called example.rb that contains the following code:

# [cease] at 12pm on 1/1/1999
class RemoveMeLater
  def foo
    puts 'bar'
  end
end
# [/cease]

You should see the output:

$ cease example.rb
Scanning 1 source(s)...

(example.rb)

  [3, 9]: Overdue by roughly 23 years
    class RemoveMeLater
      def foo
        puts 'bar'
      end
    end


Total of 1 evictions(s) found.

Cease supports both 12 and 24 hour clocks:

# [cease] at 13:00 on 1/1/1999
class RemoveMeLater
...
# [/cease]

Multiple commands per source:

# [cease] at 12pm on 1/1/1999
class RemoveMeLater
  def foo
    puts 'bar'
  end
end
# [/cease]

# [cease] at 1pm on 3/3/3333
class RemoveMeWayLater
  def foo
    puts 'bar'
  end
end
# [/cease]

If a date isn't provided, Cease attempts to guess the date based on the git commit:

# [cease] at 13:00 # The date will be based on the commit timestamp of this comment.
class RemoveMeLater
...
# [/cease]

You can provide an optional timezone (defaults to UTC):

# [cease] at 1pm on 1/1/1999 { timezone: 'PST' }
class RemoveMeLater
...
# [/cease]

NOTE: Do not nest commands! This will not work:

# [cease] at 1pm
  class RemoveMe
    # [cease] at 3pm
    def initialize
    end
    # [/cease]
  end
# [/cease]

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

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.
