Getting lots of warnings when attempting to use?

[tomchapin]

When I install colorls on my mac (with Ruby 2.4.1p111) and use it, it is working, but I get a bunch of warnings?

/usr/local/Cellar/rbenv/1.1.0/versions/2.4.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/facets-3.1.0/lib/core/facets/filetest/separator_pattern.rb:4: warning: already initialized constant FileTest::SEPARATOR_PATTERN

@tomchapin - Thanks for filing this issue 😄 . Try adding this to your shell configuration file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc or ~/.fishrc) -

export RUBYOPT="-W0"

@athityakumar Thank you for that tip! I'm not comfortable with globally disabling Ruby warnings (since I'm a Ruby developer and need to know if my code is throwing warnings), but I think I found a happy compromise. I just added that environment variable directly to my colorls "lc" shell script in my .zshrc, like so:

lc() {
  eval 'RUBYOPT="-W0" colorls -l -a'
}

@tomchapin - These warnings are related to the gems used by colorls and not directly due to colorls. This may infact be the only happy workaround for now, unless the gems are updated too. (Or of course, you can also downgrade your Ruby version, but meh) 😄
