Update ruby Set Up page (Missing method SimpleCov::SourceFile # coverage)

[mochetts]

Description

When following the set up guide for ruby, the developer is instructed to add the coveralls gem:

However, this gem has a conflict within its dependencies. It's including the latest version of simplecov which doesn't have the method coverage for SimpleCov::SourceFile.

This leads to this error when running a travis build:

Solution

Either lock simplecov gem to version 0.17.0 (which has the missing method) or update the set up guide so that it uses this gem:

gem 'coveralls_reborn', '~> 0.18.0', require: false

Thanks @mochetts. We're aware this integration is behind on maintenance.

The team behind that integration has been working on a universal coverage reporter that can be used in lieu of or as a component of any integration.

For Ruby projects that can't lock Simplecov to 0.17.0 in their own Gemfile, we do typically recommend switching to coveralls-ruby-reborn, which has been well-maintained.

Point taken that we should consider swapping the gem reference in the repo start page for Ruby projects. Since we have a large installed base of Ruby users it would be ideal to merge the two projects.

Thanks again for the feedback.
