    Sean Doyle

Rails 7.1.0.beta1 (September 13, 2023)

  • AbstractController::Translation.raise_on_missing_translations removed

    This was a private API, and has been removed in favour of a more broadly applicable
    config.i18n.raise_on_missing_translations. See the upgrading guide for more information.

    Alex Ghiculescu

  • Add ActionController::Parameters#extract_value method to allow extracting serialized values from params

    params = ActionController::Parameters.new(id: "1_123", tags: "ruby,rails")
    params.extract_value(:id) # => ["1", "123"]
    params.extract_value(:tags, delimiter: ",") # => ["ruby", "rails"]
    

    Nikita Vasilevsky

  • Parse JSON response.parsed_body with ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess

    Integrate with Minitest’s new assert_pattern by parsing the JSON contents
    of response.parsed_body with ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess, so
    that it’s pattern-matching compatible.

    Sean Doyle

  • Add support for Playwright as a driver for system tests.

    Yuki Nishijima

  • Fix HostAuthorization potentially displaying the value of the
    X_FORWARDED_HOST header when the HTTP_HOST header is being blocked.

    Hartley McGuire, Daniel Schlosser

  • Rename fixture_file_upload method to file_fixture_upload

    Declare an alias to preserve the backwards compatibility of fixture_file_upload

    Sean Doyle

  • ActionDispatch::SystemTesting::TestHelpers::ScreenshotHelper saves the screenshot path in test metadata on failure.

    Matija Čupić

  • config.dom_testing_default_html_version controls the HTML parser used by
    ActionDispatch::Assertions#html_document.

    The Rails 7.1 default configuration opts into the HTML5 parser when it is supported, to better
    represent what the DOM would be in a browser user agent. Previously this test helper always used
    Nokogiri’s HTML4 parser.

    Mike Dalessio

  • The with_routing helper can now be called at the class level. When called at the class level, the routes will
    be setup before each test, and reset after every test. For example:

    class RoutingTest < ActionController::TestCase
      with_routing do |routes|
        routes.draw do
          resources :articles
          resources :authors
        end
      end
    
      def test_articles_route
        assert_routing("/articles", controller: "articles", action: "index")
      end
    
       def test_authors_route
        assert_routing("/authors", controller: "authors", action: "index")
      end
    end
    

    Andrew Novoselac

  • The Mime::Type now supports handling types with parameters and correctly handles quotes.
    When parsing the accept header, the parameters before the q-parameter are kept and if a matching mime-type exists it is used.
    To keep the current functionality, a fallback is created to look for the media-type without the parameters.

    This change allows for custom MIME-types that are more complex like application/vnd.api+json; profile="https://jsonapi.org/profiles/ethanresnick/cursor-pagination/" ext="https://jsonapi.org/ext/atomic" for the JSON API.

    Nicolas Erni

  • The url_for helpers now support a new option called path_params.
    This is very useful in situations where you only want to add a required param that is part of the route’s URL but for other route not append an extraneous query param.

    Given the following router…

    Rails.application.routes.draw do
      scope ":account_id" do
        get "dashboard" => "pages#dashboard", as: :dashboard
        get "search/:term" => "search#search", as: :search
      end
      delete "signout" => "sessions#destroy", as: :signout
    end
    

    And given the following ApplicationController

    class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
      def default_url_options
        { path_params: { account_id: "foo" } }
      end
    end
    

    The standard url_for helper and friends will now behave as follows:

    dashboard_path # => /foo/dashboard
    dashboard_path(account_id: "bar") # => /bar/dashboard
    
    signout_path # => /signout
    signout_path(account_id: "bar") # => /signout?account_id=bar
    signout_path(account_id: "bar", path_params: { account_id: "baz" }) # => /signout?account_id=bar
    search_path("quin") # => /foo/search/quin
    

    Jason Meller, Jeremy Beker

  • Change action_dispatch.show_exceptions to one of :all, :rescuable, or
    :none. :all and :none behave the same as the previous true and
    false respectively. The new :rescuable option will only show exceptions
    that can be rescued (e.g. ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound). :rescuable is
    now the default for the test environment.

    Jon Dufresne

  • config.action_dispatch.cookies_serializer now accepts :message_pack and
    :message_pack_allow_marshal as serializers. These serializers require the
    msgpack gem (>= 1.7.0).

    The Message Pack format can provide improved performance and smaller payload
    sizes. It also supports roundtripping some Ruby types that are not supported
    by JSON. For example:

      cookies.encrypted[:foo] = [{ a: 1 }, { b: 2 }.with_indifferent_access, 1.to_d, Time.at(0, 123)]
    
      # BEFORE with config.action_dispatch.cookies_serializer = :json
      cookies.encrypted[:foo]
      # => [{"a"=>1}, {"b"=>2}, "1.0", "1969-12-31T18:00:00.000-06:00"]
      cookies.encrypted[:foo].map(&:class)
      # => [Hash, Hash, String, String]
    
      # AFTER with config.action_dispatch.cookies_serializer = :message_pack
      cookies.encrypted[:foo]
      # => [{:a=>1}, {"b"=>2}, 0.1e1, 1969-12-31 18:00:00.000123 -0600]
      cookies.encrypted[:foo].map(&:class)
      # => [Hash, ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess, BigDecimal, Time]
    

    The :message_pack serializer can fall back to deserializing with
    ActiveSupport::JSON when necessary, and the :message_pack_allow_marshal
    serializer can fall back to deserializing with Marshal as well as
    ActiveSupport::JSON. Additionally, the :marshal, :json, and
    :json_allow_marshal (AKA :hybrid) serializers can now fall back to
    deserializing with ActiveSupport::MessagePack when necessary. These
    behaviors ensure old cookies can still be read so that migration is easier.

    Jonathan Hefner

  • Remove leading dot from domains on cookies set with domain: :all, to meet RFC6265 requirements

    Gareth Adams

  • Include source location in routes extended view.

    $ bin/rails routes --expanded
    
    ...
    --[ Route 14 ]----------
    Prefix            | new_gist
    Verb              | GET
    URI               | /gist(.:format)
    Controller#Action | gists/gists#new
    Source Location   | config/routes/gist.rb:3
    

    Luan Vieira, John Hawthorn and Daniel Colson

  • Add without as an alias of except on ActiveController::Parameters.

    Hidde-Jan Jongsma

  • Expand search field on rails/info/routes to also search route name, http verb and controller#action.

    Jason Kotchoff

  • Remove deprecated poltergeist and webkit (capybara-webkit) driver registration for system testing.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Remove deprecated ability to assign a single value to config.action_dispatch.trusted_proxies.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Deprecate config.action_dispatch.return_only_request_media_type_on_content_type.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Remove deprecated behavior on Request#content_type.

    Rafael Mendonça França

  • Change ActionController::Instrumentation to pass filtered_path instead of fullpath in the event payload to filter sensitive query params

    get "/posts?password=test"
    request.fullpath         # => "/posts?password=test"
    request.filtered_path    # => "/posts?password=[FILTERED]"
    

    Ritikesh G

  • Deprecate AbstractController::Helpers::MissingHelperError

    Hartley McGuire

  • Change ActionDispatch::Testing::TestResponse#parsed_body to parse HTML as
    a Nokogiri document

    get "/posts"
    response.content_type         # => "text/html; charset=utf-8"
    response.parsed_body.class    # => Nokogiri::HTML5::Document
    response.parsed_body.to_html  # => "\n\n..."
    

    Sean Doyle

  • Deprecate ActionDispatch::IllegalStateError.

    Samuel Williams

  • Add HTTP::Request#route_uri_pattern that returns URI pattern of matched route.

    Joel Hawksley, Kate Higa

  • Add ActionDispatch::AssumeSSL middleware that can be turned on via config.assume_ssl.
    It makes the application believe that all requests are arriving over SSL. This is useful
    when proxying through a load balancer that terminates SSL, the forwarded request will appear
    as though its HTTP instead of HTTPS to the application. This makes redirects and cookie
    security target HTTP instead of HTTPS. This middleware makes the server assume that the
    proxy already terminated SSL, and that the request really is HTTPS.

    DHH

  • Only use HostAuthorization middleware if config.hosts is not empty

    Hartley McGuire

  • Allow raising an error when a callback’s only/unless symbols aren’t existing methods.

    When before_action :callback, only: :action_name is declared on a controller that doesn’t respond to action_name, raise an exception at request time. This is a safety measure to ensure that typos or forgetfulness don’t prevent a crucial callback from being run when it should.

    For new applications, raising an error for undefined actions is turned on by default. If you do not want to opt-in to this behavior set config.action_controller.raise_on_missing_callback_actions to false in your application configuration. See #43487 for more details.

    Jess Bees

  • Allow cookie options[:domain] to accept a proc to set the cookie domain on a more flexible per-request basis

    RobL

  • When a host is not specified for an ActionController::Renderer‘s env,
    the host and related options will now be derived from the routes’
    default_url_options and ActionDispatch::Http::URL.secure_protocol.

    This means that for an application with a configuration like:

      Rails.application.default_url_options = { host: "rubyonrails.org" }
      Rails.application.config.force_ssl = true
    

    rendering a URL like:

      ApplicationController.renderer.render inline: "<%= blog_url %>"
    

    will now return "https://rubyonrails.org/blog" instead of
    "http://example.org/blog".

    Jonathan Hefner

  • Add details of cookie name and size to CookieOverflow exception.

    Andy Waite

  • Don’t double log the controller, action, or namespaced_controller when using ActiveRecord::QueryLog

    Previously if you set config.active_record.query_log_tags to an array that included
    :controller, :namespaced_controller, or :action, that item would get logged twice.
    This bug has been fixed.

    Alex Ghiculescu

  • Add the following permissions policy directives: hid, idle-detection, screen-wake-lock,
    serial, sync-xhr, web-share.

    Guillaume Cabanel

  • The speaker, vibrate, and vr permissions policy directives are now
    deprecated.

    There is no browser support for these directives, and no plan for browser
    support in the future. You can just remove these directives from your
    application.

    Jonathan Hefner

  • Added the :status option to assert_redirected_to to specify the precise
    HTTP status of the redirect. Defaults to :redirect for backwards
    compatibility.

    Jon Dufresne

  • Rescue JSON::ParserError in Cookies JSON deserializer to discards marshal dumps:

    Without this change, if action_dispatch.cookies_serializer is set to :json and
    the app tries to read a :marshal serialized cookie, it would error out which wouldn’t
    clear the cookie and force app users to manually clear it in their browser.

    (See #45127 for original bug discussion)

    Nathan Bardoux

  • Add HTTP_REFERER when following redirects on integration tests

    This makes follow_redirect! a closer simulation of what happens in a real browser

    Felipe Sateler

  • Added exclude? method to ActionController::Parameters.

    Ian Neubert

  • Rescue EOFError exception from rack on a multipart request.

    Nikita Vasilevsky

  • Log redirects from routes the same way as redirects from controllers.

    Dennis Paagman

  • Prevent ActionDispatch::ServerTiming from overwriting existing values in Server-Timing.
    Previously, if another middleware down the chain set Server-Timing header,
    it would overwritten by ActionDispatch::ServerTiming.

    Jakub Malinowski

  • Allow opting out of the SameSite cookie attribute when setting a cookie.

    You can opt out of SameSite by passing same_site: nil.

    cookies[:foo] = { value: "bar", same_site: nil }

    Previously, this incorrectly set the SameSite attribute to the value of the cookies_same_site_protection setting.

    Alex Ghiculescu

  • Allow using helper_methods in content_security_policy and permissions_policy

    Previously you could access basic helpers (defined in helper modules), but not
    helper methods defined using helper_method. Now you can use either.

    content_security_policy do |p|
      p.default_src "https://example.com"
      p.script_src "https://example.com" if helpers.script_csp?
    end
    

    Alex Ghiculescu

  • Reimplement ActionController::Parameters#has_value? and #value? to avoid parameters and hashes comparison.

    Deprecated equality between parameters and hashes is going to be removed in Rails 7.2.
    The new implementation takes care of conversions.

    Seva Stefkin

  • Allow only String and Symbol keys in ActionController::Parameters.
    Raise ActionController::InvalidParameterKey when initializing Parameters
    with keys that aren’t strings or symbols.

    Seva Stefkin

  • Add the ability to use custom logic for storing and retrieving CSRF tokens.

    By default, the token will be stored in the session. Custom classes can be
    defined to specify arbitrary behavior, but the ability to store them in
    encrypted cookies is built in.

    Andrew Kowpak

  • Make ActionController::Parameters#values cast nested hashes into parameters.

    Gannon McGibbon

  • Introduce html: and screenshot: kwargs for system test screenshot helper

    Use these as an alternative to the already-available environment variables.

    For example, this will display a screenshot in iTerm, save the HTML, and output
    its path.

    take_screenshot(html: true, screenshot: "inline")
    

    Alex Ghiculescu

  • Allow ActionController::Parameters#to_h to receive a block.

    Bob Farrell

  • Allow relative redirects when raise_on_open_redirects is enabled

    Tom Hughes

  • Allow Content Security Policy DSL to generate for API responses.

    Tim Wade

  • Fix authenticate_with_http_basic to allow for missing password.

    Before Rails 7.0 it was possible to handle basic authentication with only a username.

    authenticate_with_http_basic do |token, _|
      ApiClient.authenticate(token)
    end
    

    This ability is restored.

    Jean Boussier

  • Fix content_security_policy returning invalid directives.

    Directives such as self, unsafe-eval and few others were not
    single quoted when the directive was the result of calling a lambda
    returning an array.

    content_security_policy do |policy|
      policy.frame_ancestors lambda { [:self, "https://example.com"] }
    end
    

    With this fix the policy generated from above will now be valid.

    Edouard Chin

  • Fix skip_forgery_protection to run without raising an error if forgery
    protection has not been enabled / verify_authenticity_token is not a
    defined callback.

    This fix prevents the Rails 7.0 Welcome Page (/) from raising an
    ArgumentError if default_protect_from_forgery is false.

    Brad Trick

  • Make redirect_to return an empty response body.

    Application controllers that wish to add a response body after calling
    redirect_to can continue to do so.

    Jon Dufresne

  • Use non-capturing group for subdomain matching in ActionDispatch::HostAuthorization

    Since we do nothing with the captured subdomain group, we can use a non-capturing group instead.

    Sam Bostock

  • Fix ActionController::Live to copy the IsolatedExecutionState in the ephemeral thread.

    Since its inception ActionController::Live has been copying thread local variables
    to keep things such as CurrentAttributes set from middlewares working in the controller action.

    With the introduction of IsolatedExecutionState in 7.0, some of that global state was lost in
    ActionController::Live controllers.

    Jean Boussier

  • Fix setting trailing_slash: true in route definition.

    get '/test' => "test#index", as: :test, trailing_slash: true
    
    test_path() # => "/test/"
    

    Jean Boussier

  • Make Session#merge! stringify keys.

    Previously Session#update would, but merge! wouldn’t.

    Drew Bragg

  • Add :unsafe_hashes mapping for content_security_policy

    # Before
    policy.script_src  :strict_dynamic, "'unsafe-hashes'", "'sha256-rRMdkshZyJlCmDX27XnL7g3zXaxv7ei6Sg+yt4R3svU='"
    
    # After
    policy.script_src  :strict_dynamic, :unsafe_hashes, "'sha256-rRMdkshZyJlCmDX27XnL7g3zXaxv7ei6Sg+yt4R3svU='"
