Hey peeps, Kasper here.
It’s that time of the week again, when that newsletter you read while frantically checking http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com is here.
Oh, you think we’re down, cupcake? I’m afraid that’s just you buddy, we’re fired up and ready to go!
Did you know you can contribute to Rails? Oh, I’m not kidding! It’s totally open source and everything.
In fact check the next item if you’re looking to join the list, codeslinger!
Before RubyConf the JRuby team would like to get the whole Rails test suite passing and green.
Already some fixes have been committed. Check out the linked tweet and see if there’s something you can help with.
If you’d been a good sport and optimistically tried to set the lock column value, you’d be sorry. Now you would be happy because it’s fixed!
Since Rails 5 you’ve been able to render templates outside of your controller actions. Now you can pass in arbitrary keys when performing that kind of rendering.
In your ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest controller tests you can use the get etc. request shorthands which would just pipe through to a private process method.
Now that method is public so you can better see the documentation on it.
Some dingus accidentally caused minitest to be loaded in the production environment.
Luckily that’s fixed now!
That’s it for this week, as usual there were more changes than what we can fit, feel free to check them yourself here. Until next week!
