The gem is spamming deprecation warnings in tests

[mdesantis]

ruby 2.4.0
rails 5.0.1
acts_as_follower master@c5ac7b9
rspec 3.5.0

When I run rspec I get a lot of these deprecation warnings (a lot is one per test):

DEPRECATION WARNING: Setting custom parent classes is deprecated and will be removed in future versions. (called from parent_class_name at /home/maurizio/.asdf/installs/ruby/2.4.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/bundler/gems/acts_as_follower-c5ac7b9601c4/lib/acts_as_follower/follower_lib.rb:10)

@mdesantis I believe #89 should address this.

i've been getting this error in both rails 5.1.3 and 5.2 projects. attached is the current error it's always the same lines and same error about the deprecated custom parent class name.

ruby 2.4.1
rails 5.1.3 error code:

@azeemh I believe #89 should address this.

Did anyone find a way to get rid of the deprecation warnings, still having the same issues.

ruby '2.3.7'
rails '5.0.0'
rspec '3.5.4' 
acts_as_follower '0.2.1'

Between, I believe my deprecation warning is caused by this I think it should be return DEFAULT_PARENTS if ActsAsFollower.custom_parent_classes.empty?

@theterminalguy You are correct and I submitted #93 containing this fix. Unfortunately we are still waiting after almost 2 years for #93 to be merged.

Can someone fork this gem and merge your fix into their fork? Then we simply re-release the gem under a new name?

it's still happening. i've updated from rails 5 to rails 7 but i still have to see this same error . fyi it's 2024 and i first commented on this in 2018. it's been 6 years
