DeprecationsUnite

The aim of this tool is to simply make it easier to merge many deprecation lists into one.

NOTE: I wrote this to work specifically with next_rails deprecation lists. This is not a generic tool, although I do think this will be able to merge any json files you pass to it, but that is unintended behavior.

Requirements

You need to have Elixir 1.13 installed.

Installation

This is a CLI program and is available in hex.pm. All you need to run is:

mix escript.install hex deprecations_unite

If you use asdf

In case you use asdf to manage your installed elixir version, make sure to run asdf reshim elixir after installing this script.

Usage

Simply call deprecations_unite and give it the relative path to where your deprecation lists are:

$ deprecations_unite --path [PATH_TO_DEPRECATION_LISTS]

The path should be a string literal and it will accept globbing. I guess that is the only way this works, currently:

$ deprecations_unite --path "lib/deprecations*.json"

This will generate a file named deprecations.json in your current working directory.
