module ActiveSupport::Deprecation::Behavior

Behavior module allows to determine how to display deprecation messages. You can create a custom behavior or set any from the DEFAULT_BEHAVIORS constant. Available behaviors are:

:raise: Raise ActiveSupport::DeprecationException.
:stderr: Log all deprecation warnings to $stderr.
:log: Log all deprecation warnings to Rails.logger.
:notify: Use ActiveSupport::Notifications to notify deprecation.rails.
:report: Use ActiveSupport::ErrorReporter to report deprecations.
:silence: Do nothing. On Rails, set config.active_support.report_deprecations = false to disable all behaviors.

Setting behaviors only affects deprecations that happen after boot time. For more information you can read the documentation of the behavior= method.

Attributes

debug [RW]

Whether to print a backtrace along with the warning.

Public Instance Methods

behavior ()

Returns the current behavior or if one isn’t set, defaults to :stderr.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/deprecation/behaviors.rb, line 74
def behavior
  @behavior ||= [DEFAULT_BEHAVIORS[:stderr]]
end

behavior= (behavior)

Sets the behavior to the specified value. Can be a single value, array, or an object that responds to call.

Available behaviors:

:raise: Raise ActiveSupport::DeprecationException.
:stderr: Log all deprecation warnings to $stderr.
:log: Log all deprecation warnings to Rails.logger.
:notify: Use ActiveSupport::Notifications to notify deprecation.rails.
:report: Use ActiveSupport::ErrorReporter to report deprecations.
:silence: Do nothing.

Setting behaviors only affects deprecations that happen after boot time. Deprecation warnings raised by gems are not affected by this setting because they happen before Rails boots up.

deprecator = ActiveSupport::Deprecation.new
deprecator.behavior = :stderr
deprecator.behavior = [:stderr, :log]
deprecator.behavior = MyCustomHandler
deprecator.behavior = ->(message, callstack, deprecation_horizon, gem_name) {
  # custom stuff
}

If you are using Rails, you can set config.active_support.report_deprecations = false to disable all deprecation behaviors. This is similar to the :silence option but more performant.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/deprecation/behaviors.rb, line 111
def behavior=(behavior)
  @behavior = Array(behavior).map { |b| DEFAULT_BEHAVIORS[b] || arity_coerce(b) }
end

disallowed_behavior ()

Returns the current behavior for disallowed deprecations or if one isn’t set, defaults to :raise.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/deprecation/behaviors.rb, line 79
def disallowed_behavior
  @disallowed_behavior ||= [DEFAULT_BEHAVIORS[:raise]]
end

disallowed_behavior= (behavior)

Sets the behavior for disallowed deprecations (those configured by ActiveSupport::Deprecation#disallowed_warnings=) to the specified value. As with behavior=, this can be a single value, array, or an object that responds to call.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/deprecation/behaviors.rb, line 119
def disallowed_behavior=(behavior)
  @disallowed_behavior = Array(behavior).map { |b| DEFAULT_BEHAVIORS[b] || arity_coerce(b) }
end
