Use the latest version of rest-client (why a downgrade!?)
Hello,
Why is there a downgrade of the rest-client gem? Your commit message is empty...
Please clarify the motivation and fix this in order to use the latest version. It is important to use always the latest gem version to avoid bugs and security issues.
The deprecation has been done to support backward compatibility. We are working on upgrading to the latest version of rest-client in the further releases.
Hi there is there any news on this? It's preventing upgrades to other critical gems that require rest_client >= 2.1
@cb-alish Could you please look into this and clarify why the old version of rest-client is needed (sorry to mentioning you directly, but you seem to be the last person who committed to this repo).
Hi @loomchild, It seems to have some compatibility issues. Specifically, the rest_client version 2.1.0 includes breaking changes. Please refer to #43 & #50 once.
Ah, it makes sense, thank you very much for the information. I will investigate what to do (since I also have a conflict with another gem requiring 2.1.0).
@cb-alish The breaking change seems to be located in https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client/pull/597 and there's a workaround described in https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client/issues/740#issuecomment-778254696. Would you consider implementing it (looks like the change is located only in rest.rb file).
If not, would you potentially accept a PR implementing it? (I would need help in testing the use cases reported in PRs you linked, but can give it a try).
Hi @loomchild, sure we'll consider implementing it but it might take a few weeks before we can get to this.
If you'd like to contribute, please create a PR and we can definitely test & include it in the SDK.
I had some ideas what could be the issue and how to solve it based on https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client/issues/722. But when I have simply tried to bump rest-client to 2.1.0, I was able to retrieve a subscription via (as described in #43):
ChargeBee::Subscription.retrieve(subscription_id).subscription
Could you clarify how to reproduce the issues described in #43 and #50? Do I perhaps need to use a specific version of Ruby? (I tested with 3.3.4 and 2.7.8) Maybe Net::HTTP has evolved so the issues no longer occur?
Hi @callahat & @DevStarks could you take a look at #85 when you have a moment? We're transitioning to Net::HTTP with the goal of removing rest-client as a dependency. Just want to make sure everything looks good from your side. Thanks!
Hi @callahat & @DevStarks! We've released the beta version of the library, now using Net::HTTP and removing rest-client as a dependency. Could you give it a spin in your test environments and share any feedback? Thanks! 🙌
Closing this issue as we've moved from rest-client to native Net::HTTP since v2.49.0. Sorry for the delay in execution. Please feel free to reopen or post in the issue section if you encounter any problems.
