Brakecheck

Test breakage when important gems are stale.

Why?!? What's wrong with Bundler?

We use brakeman regularly and it's important to keep that up to date. This breaks the build if brakeman is not current. Bundler still requires that somebody run bundle update.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'brakecheck'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install brakecheck

Usage

1. Create a basic test
2. include Brakecheck
3. expect(gem_name).to be_the_latest_version

Full example:

require 'brakecheck'

describe "Brakeman" do
  before do
    WebMock.allow_net_connect!
  end

  it "is up to date" do
    expect("brakeman").to be_the_latest_version
  end

  after do
    WebMock.disable_net_connect!
  end
end

NB: This gem uses rubygems.com API to determine the latest version.

TODO

Webmock auto allow rubygems queries.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec 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.
