A customer reported the following
NoMethodError
:Turns out that the customer had an incompatible dogstatsd-ruby version, but since they had their instance manually configured, rather than created by the
Metrics
class, our version check was being bypassed. This led the incompatible dogstatsd-ruby version to be used, and one of the incompatibilites is the fact that#close
was private on that old version.A minimal test case for this issue is:
To fix this issue, I've changed the
#initialize
method to always call#supported?
before either accepting a pre-existingstatsd
instance, or trying to create one.To avoid silently breaking customer-expected behavior, I've also added a warning; hopefully customers with the wrong configuration will see the warning and know that they need to upgrade
