I just updated our app from rails 6.0 to 7.0.8 and it required me to update faker as well. This upgrade was from 1.7.3 to 2.0.0. When running our test suite, getting two errors that I'm unsure how to resolve:
/gems/ruby/3.2.0/gems/i18n-1.14.1/lib/i18n.rb:210:in `translate': wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 0..1) (ArgumentError)
and
Faker::Book.title[0..30]
/gems/ruby/3.2.0/gems/i18n-1.14.1/lib/i18n.rb:210:in `translate': wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 0..1) (ArgumentError)
As these were both working in 1.7.3, was unable to find any updates in the changelog that shows otherwise, unless it's a separate issue. Any help would be appreciated!
Faker current version is 3.2.3, so 2.X is very outdated.
Your issue is ruby 3 kwargs related.
Did you also update ruby from 2.7 to 3.2?
Prior to Faker 2.10 (Pull Request) arguments were passed to I18n#translate as follows: Source
I18n.translate(*args.push(opts))
This worked up until ruby 3 (deprecation warning in 2.7) when positional and keyword arguments were separated. See Here for more details.
In Faker 2.10 this was changed to
I18n.translate(*args,**opts)
So that the keyword arguments would be passed appropriately.
In summation the simplest solution would simply be to update faker to at least 2.10 (recommended 3.X)
