Ruby 2.4.0
Basic encryption yields warning message

Hello,

this gem seems unmaintained because:

• no commit since 2011
• no answer on issue and PR since >1y

yet the gem is used by many other open source projects (directly or undirectly)

@obrie you are the owner (last committer at least). Would you be ok to transfer the ownership of the gem (especially the abiilyt to push to rubygems.org) to someone else?

Thanks in advance.

In several of the encryptor modules you call cattr_accessor which is an ActiveRecord method. On my system I get a dependency error when including encrypted_attributes (which includes encrypted_strings) into a Rails app unless I add require ’active_record’ to encrypted_strings.rb.

I am running Rails 2.0.2 on Ruby 1.8.6 on Mac OS X 10.5.4. Rails is installed via gem as is encrypted_strings (and encrypted_attributes). I have the following in my environment.rb:

@@@
require ’rubygems’
require ’encrypted_attributes’
@@@

If I try to run ./script/console (or any other Rails command) I get:

@@@
% ./script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2)
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/encrypted_strings-0.0.4/lib/encrypted_strings/symmetric_encryptor.rb:44:NoMethodError: undefined method cattr_accessor’ for PluginAWeek::EncryptedStrings::SymmetricEncryptor:Class /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:88:NoMethodError: undefined methodcattr_accessor’ for ActionController::Dispatcher:Class

Adding require ’active_record’ to the top of encrypted_strings.rb fixes it for me. Not sure if this is the correct fix, but it does seem to be working.
