Stream 10/22/2019 - Upgrading Rails 6 is ...

Check Out the Stream @ https://twitch.tv/talk2megooseman

Today's stream theme was to upgrade all the things. Started by looking at updating Sidekiq but decided to do that off-stream since it's scary to do for me (lol). Then switch to the main task at hand, upgrade to Rails 6.

I identified some gems that I can remove but there is a couples gems that looks like that will give me trouble. Check the notes for more details!

Today Objective

• [ ] What to call today's log
• [x] Review last streams TODOs
• [x] Continue figuring safest route to updates Sidekiq to v6
  • [x] Going to punt this work to later date
• [x] Look into to upgrading to Rails 6

Notes

• Came across the following warning in Visual Studio Code Visual Studio Code is unable to watch for file changes in this large workspace
  • Recommended solution for this was linked in the warning: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux#_visual-studio-code-is-unable-to-watch-for-file-changes-in-this-large-workspace-error-enospc
• Sidekiq upgrade to v6 is going to be a little more involved then I like for doing on stream since its an update to how sidekiq gets launched. I will feel more comfortable doing this off stream in case I break something
• Upgrading to Rails 6
  • Offical guide on Rails site https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html
  • Going through removed a couple gems that weren't compatible and were of low value:
    • guard-rspec
    • guard-rubocop
    • rails-controller-testing
    • isolator
  • Gems that were version bumped so far:
    • rspec-rails
  • haml-rails gem might be an issue, moved to use just haml gem but getting the following error
    • NameError: undefined method content_tag for class ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag
  • Identified the talk_like_a_pirate is not compatible with the active_support 6 so going to have to fork it and do a pull request to make it compatible
    • Forked the repo and created a pull request to update dependencies with tests https://github.com/stevehodges/talk_like_a_pirate/pull/6
