Hiding ruby gem ‘is deprecated with no replacement’ messages
I recently installed ruby 1.9.2 via rvm, and suddenly every command started spitting out hundreds of line of deprecation messages :
> rails server

A bit of googling turned up this stack overflow post.
Run the suggested gem pristine command and restart rails, and voila:
> gem pristine --all --no-extensions
> rails server

The post above and this other one both also recommend this if you’re using rvm:
> rvm rubygems current
Cannot switch to 1.3.7 for this interpreter.
… which just spat out that error in my case and didn’t seem to do anything else, but it’s possible it may work for you if gem pristine doesn’t.
