Issue #22379 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh). Thanks, @kddnewton! Trimming the API sounds reasonable as a follow-up. It can be done on the sync side (by excluding files), so ruby/prism would not need to change. One thing to note is that syntax_suggest (and possibly irb) use `Prism::Visitor`, so we would need to keep the visitors (or have them keep using the prism gem). ---------------------------------------- Feature #22379: Remove prism mismatch warning from `#syntax_tree` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22379#change-119379 * Author: Earlopain (Earlopain _) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- #21795 added `#syntax_tree` for a few objects. Currently it is implemented in a way that uses the prism gem, using node_id. Because it is theoretically possible that node_ids from the internal cruby version of prism don't match with the node_ids from the installed prism gem, a warning is emitted when the two versions don't match: ```rb def x = nil pp method(:x).syntax_tree # => syntax_tree: a prism gem other than the default gem is loaded; the result may not correspond exactly to the compiled code # => @ DefNode (location: (1,0)-(1,11)) # ... ``` That this version-mismatch happens is basically a given. As soon as the user has prism in their lockfile for any reason it will be triggered. When I encounter a warning I assume that I have to make some change in the code to avoid it but there is nothing realistic for me to do, except to stop using the method alltogether. The warning is verbose-only. However it's good practise to run test suites with warnings enabled to keep up on deprecations, so even there it does not fit. I would like this warning to become documentation only for the above reasons. @eregon also suggested to only warn when we can prove that the node_id doesn't match. That should be possible as well, since we have the code location from the iseq and can check if the node we found via prism lines up. However, that doesn't guarantee that the contents of the node are also the same. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
