When I run grep from .rvm folder I see the following:

grep -R \'Digest

Borrowing the reply from this thread

OpenSSL::Digest::Digest has been discouraged to use from very ancient era such as Ruby 1.8 and finally was deprecated recently.

If you search for the error message, you will see that a lot of gems, including fog, were still using the deprecated syntax.

I assume it will take a while before all the gems will be updated. If you came across the deprecation in one of the libs you use, I encourage you to report it to the maintainer.

Here's a few examples

• https://github.com/fog/fog/pull/2473
• https://github.com/alexreisner/geocoder/pull/580
• https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/446

It's likely your Rails app depends on a gem that is using that old syntax.
