Ruby 2.3 support? about apparition HOT 8 CLOSED

@thbar Just curious -- what issues have you run into moving from 2.3 to 2.4?? Would be good to know for others as the EOL approaches

from apparition.

@thbar Also - try the ruby_2.3 branch in this repo for a version that should work with ruby 2.3

from apparition.

I went 2.4+ because of the EOL of 2.3 coming up shortly, and there probably are 2.4+ methods in use (match? at least). Does your app not run on 2.4? I don't remember any breaking changes from 2.3 to 2.4

from apparition.

Ok so this is what I assumed :-) Do not bother at this point, especially given that the EOL is coming so soon. I was more curious than anything.

That said yes - the app I'm porting is not yet working (test suite) on 2.4 & I still have a few failures to fix!

I'll close for now - thanks for your input!

@twalpole FYI, all the failures in the app I was referring to are caused by this regression in how BigDecimal("") works ruby/bigdecimal#51.

This can be fixed by adding big_decimal as a gem, or changed in the code (but Ruby 2.4 behaviour, even in latest patch releases, is still in regression compared to 2.3).

@twalpole the ruby_2.3 branch worked perfectly. Many thanks!

@thbar Good to hear -- I pulled it into master (was in the 0.0.4 release I think). Have you run into any other issues using apparition??

from apparition.

@twalpole Thanks for integrating this!

Yes, I ran into another issue (although a very specific one).

I will open another issue for that!
