JSON Conflict error with manually including JSON gem

[mikeyoungyoung]

I have an issue using the contactful.rb gem. Error below:
/Users/michael.young/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/specification.rb:2284:inraise_if_conflicts': Unable to activate contentful-1.0.0, because json-2.0.2 conflicts with json (~> 1.8) (Gem::ConflictError)

When I try and pull back content through irb it runs fine, but in my sinatra app where I have also manually included json I see the above error

Hey @mikeyoungyoung,

Sadly the fixed json dependency is in order to support older versions of Ruby.

We're considering removing this dependency and deprecating Ruby versions < 2.0 soon, but sadly this is not currently possible.

I'd recommend you to for the moment create a fork without this hard dependency and use it from there or use a local copy of the gem with the json dependency removed.

Hope this helps, and hope we can get this solved on the mainstream release soon.

Cheers

Hwy @mikeyoungyoung,

#106 removes the hard dependency on json.

Hope that helps

Cheers

perfect! works for me

[mikeyoungyoung]

@dlitvakb any idea when that will be? No rush on my side, just curious as to when I should be changing

[dlitvakb]

@mikeyoungyoung we will be releasing today, only a very small refactor pending after review 😄

[dlitvakb]

@mikeyoungyoung 1.0.1 has been released 😄

Cheers

Hey @rohanschari,

Looks like your issue is with either cucumber or some other gem, there's no hard requirement on the json gem any more.

Either update to a newer version or make sure that there's no other conflicting gem in your project.

Cheers
