syntax error in all commands

[cascer1]

Hi,

I am trying out prmd, but no matter which command I run, I always get a syntax error:

root@PC0075:/mnt/.../spec$ prmd verify definitions.json
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/prmd-0.12.0/lib/prmd/commands.rb:4:in `require_relative': /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/prmd-0.12.0/lib/prmd/commands/verify.rb:78: syntax error, unexpected tLABEL (SyntaxError)
    def self.verify(schema_data, custom_schema: nil)
                                               ^

I'm running Ruby version 1.9.3 on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.

prmd version is 0.12.0

The code uses a syntax option for hashes that was added in the 1.9 series of ruby, but the error here seems to imply that the version being used doesn't support it? Is there any way you could bump to a newer version of ruby?

[cascer1]

I just used apt-get to update to the latest version:

$ apt-get update
...
$ apt-get upgrade ruby
...
$ ruby --version
ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22 revision 43786) [x86_64-linux]

Unfortunately, I still get the same error.

Hmm. Commands seem to be working ok in other contexts, and the ruby 1.9 series is deprecated in favor of the higher 2.0 rubies at this point, which makes me reticent to try and support these older versions. You may need to get ruby from somewhere other than that source in order to get a non-deprecated version, then you should hopefully have better luck.
