irb_context warning in rails console

[matthewhively]

irb: warn: can't alias context from irb_context.
Shows up in rails console if this gem is installed.

rspec gem versions installed (from Gemfile.lock)
rspec-core (3.5.4) rspec-expectations (3.5.0) rspec-mocks (3.5.0) rspec-rails (3.5.2) rspec-retry (0.5.3) rspec-support (3.5.0)

Similar issue in rspec-rails -- not sure if its related though
rspec/rspec-rails#1645

what version ruby/rails?

[matthewhively]

Rails 4.2.7
ruby 2.3.3p222

[michaelglass]

unlike rspec-rails which needs to be in the development group to load its generators, rspec-retry can live safely in your test group where it shouldn't interfere with rails console. Does that help?

[fragoulis]

Same here.

rspec-3.6.0
rspec-rails-3.6.0
rails-5.1.1
ruby 2.3.3

It does not happen with rails 4.2.7.1.

Auto-closed by PR, sorry. @matthewhively did this solve your problem?

[matthewhively]

I would say that is a work around. Since you can choose to run rails console in any environment you choose it doesn't really solve the problem.
Furthermore it seems odd that rspec-retry should require to be placed into a different group from rspec-rails.

However since this has no actual downside of that message in console (that I'm aware of), this work around is good enough I suppose.

NOTE: still occurs in rails 4.2.10
