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.
silence: Do nothing.

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() Show source

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/deprecation/behaviors.rb, line 66
def behavior
  @behavior ||= [DEFAULT_BEHAVIORS[:stderr]]
end

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

behavior=(behavior) Show source

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/deprecation/behaviors.rb, line 91
def behavior=(behavior)
  @behavior = Array(behavior).map { |b| DEFAULT_BEHAVIORS[b] || arity_coerce(b) }
end

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.
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.
