rails 5 migration or maybe even 6 now?

[darix]

what is holding this back?

[stevecrozz]

Nothing that I know of. I think it'll take someone to give it a try and see if there are any blockers.

Well rails 4.2.11 was the last security fix for 4.2. question is if one wants to jump to rails 6 beta directly and skip rails 5.

Pull-requests are much appreciated, if you want to give it a try :) man. 21. jan. 2019 kl. 18.19 skrev darix <notifications@github.com>:

Though what I did was just updated Gemfile to 5.2, I found these are the blockers:

1. hoptoad_notifier gem uses obsoleted syntax app.config.middleware.use "HoptoadNotifier::Rack".
2. ActionController::RedirectBackError is obsoleted in Rails 5.1.
3. request methods (e.g. :post) in controller specs requires params: {} style arguments.

Thanks for the research @hamadata . Can all three of these changes be made prior to an upgrade?

[hamadata]

1. This is a problem of gem hoptoad_notifier, I need to fork the repository and change the line.

- app.config.middleware.use "HoptoadNotifier::Rack"
+ app.config.middleware.use HoptoadNotifier::Rack

Though it supresses the fatal error after upgrading to Rails5, but I do not know if it works.

2. No, I could not find the method in Rails4.

3. No, I could not find backported feature in Rails4.

(This document says it became deprecated in Rails5.0, and obsoleted in Rails5.1 or 5.2)

[hamadata]

Deprecated usage in controller tests can be sovled with this gem.

I guess a Rails upgrade would also make it easier to use things like webpacker and therefore maybe to get a new UI.
