Drop the
assert_ivars
andpresent_ivars
methods from RSpec::Matchers::BuiltIn::BaseMatcher`.They aren't referenced anymore, and apparently haven't been for ~10 years. I confirmed with git pickaxes, but then I also checked out a few random points in time over that period and looked for either string in the repository - no references in 2015, or at any point I looked since then.
It is possible that (against your strong recommendations), people are subclassing this class for their custom matchers, but I think that's their problem. And this isn't a particularly obvious or natural method for them to be using anyway.
