VersionBomb

Makes creating flexible version bombs dead simple.

Install as usual: gem install version_bomb or add gem 'version_bomb' to your Gemfile.

Version bombs are necessary when monkey patching libraries, whether you’re afraid of it breaking in the future, or simply want to get reminded when you upgrade to check if a backport is now included (and your monkey patch removed). VersionBomb makes it easy to create flexible version bombs, and makes it easy to find all of them in your app (just search for “VersionBomb”!).

First, require 'version_bomb', then add a bomb:

VersionBomb.bomb 'Rails', Rails::VERSION::STRING, '>= 3.2.1'

The requirement specified accepts anything RubyGems does—which is the same as Bundler’s scheme.

You can also optionally specify a custom message:

VersionBomb.bomb 'Rails', Rails::VERSION::STRING, '>= 3.2.1', 'Check if pull request #42 has been merged'
