• No changes.

Rails 7.2.1 (August 22, 2024)

• Fix rails console for application with non default application constant.

  The wrongly assumed the Rails application would be named AppNamespace::Application,
  which is the default but not an obligation.

  Jean Boussier

• Fix the default Dockerfile to include the full sqlite3 package.

  Prior to this it only included libsqlite3, so it wasn’t enough to
  run rails dbconsole.

  Jerome Dalbert

• Don’t update public directory during app:update command for API-only Applications.

  y-yagi

• Don’t add bin/brakeman if brakeman is not in bundle when upgrading an application.

  Etienne Barrié

• Remove PWA views and routes if its an API only project.

  Jean Boussier

• Simplify generated Puma configuration

  DHH, Rafael Mendonça França

Rails 7.2.0 (August 09, 2024)

• The new bin/rails boot command boots the application and exits. Supports the
  standard -e/--environment options.

  Xavier Noria

• Create a Dev Container Generator that generates a Dev Container setup based on the current configuration
  of the application. Usage:

  bin/rails devcontainer

  Andrew Novoselac

• Add Rubocop and GitHub Actions to plugin generator.
  This can be skipped using –skip-rubocop and –skip-ci.

  Chris Oliver

• Remove support for oracle, sqlserver and JRuby specific database adapters from the
  rails new and rails db:system:change commands.

  The supported options are sqlite3, mysql, postgresql and trilogy.

  Andrew Novoselac

• Add options to bin/rails app:update.

  bin/rails app:update now supports the same generic options that generators do:

  • --force: Accept all changes to existing files
  • --skip: Refuse all changes to existing files
  • --pretend: Don’t make any changes
  • --quiet: Don’t output all changes made

  Étienne Barrié

• Implement Rails console commands and helpers with IRB v1.13’s extension APIs.

  Rails console users will now see helper, controller, new_session, and app under
  IRB help message’s Helper methods category. And reload! command will be displayed under
  the new Rails console commands category.

  Prior to this change, Rails console’s commands and helper methods are added through IRB’s
  private components and don’t show up in its help message, which led to poor discoverability.

  Stan Lo

• Remove deprecated Rails::Generators::Testing::Behaviour.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated find_cmd_and_exec console helper.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated Rails.config.enable_dependency_loading.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated Rails.application.secrets.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Generated Gemfile will include require: "debug/prelude" for the debug gem.

  Requiring debug gem directly automatically activates it, which could introduce
  additional overhead and memory usage even without entering a debugging session.

  By making Bundler require debug/prelude instead, developers can keep their access
  to breakpoint methods like debugger or binding.break, but the debugger won’t be
  activated until a breakpoint is hit.

  Stan Lo

• Skip generating a test job in ci.yml when a new application is generated with the
  --skip-test option.

  Steve Polito

• Update the .node-version file conditionally generated for new applications to 20.11.1

  Steve Polito

• Fix sanitizer vendor configuration in 7.1 defaults.

  In apps where rails-html-sanitizer was not eagerly loaded, the sanitizer default could end up
  being Rails::HTML4::Sanitizer when it should be set to Rails::HTML5::Sanitizer.

  Mike Dalessio, Rafael Mendonça França

• Set action_mailer.default_url_options values in development and test.

  Prior to this commit, new Rails applications would raise ActionView::Template::Error
  if a mailer included a url built with a *_path helper.

  Steve Polito

• Introduce Rails::Generators::Testing::Assertions#assert_initializer.

  Compliments the existing initializer generator action.

  assert_initializer "mail_interceptors.rb"
  

  Steve Polito

• Generate a .devcontainer folder and its contents when creating a new app.

  The .devcontainer folder includes everything needed to boot the app and do development in a remote container.

  The container setup includes:

  • A redis container for Kredis, ActionCable etc.
  • A database (SQLite, Postgres, MySQL or MariaDB)
  • A Headless chrome container for system tests
  • Active Storage configured to use the local disk and with preview features working

  If any of these options are skipped in the app setup they will not be included in the container configuration.

  These files can be skipped using the --skip-devcontainer option.

  Andrew Novoselac & Rafael Mendonça França

• Introduce SystemTestCase#served_by for configuring the System Test application server.

  By default this is localhost. This method allows the host and port to be specified manually.

  class ApplicationSystemTestCase < ActionDispatch::SystemTestCase
    served_by host: "testserver", port: 45678
  end
  

  Andrew Novoselac & Rafael Mendonça França

• bin/rails test will no longer load files named *_test.rb if they are located in the fixtures folder.

  Edouard Chin

• Ensure logger tags configured with config.log_tags are still active in request.action_dispatch handlers.

  KJ Tsanaktsidis

• Setup jemalloc in the default Dockerfile for memory optimization.

  Matt Almeida, Jean Boussier

• Commented out lines in .railsrc file should not be treated as arguments when using
  rails new generator command. Update ARGVScrubber to ignore text after # symbols.

  Willian Tenfen

• Skip CSS when generating APIs.

  Ruy Rocha

• Rails console now indicates application name and the current Rails environment:

  my-app(dev)> # for RAILS_ENV=development
  my-app(test)> # for RAILS_ENV=test
  my-app(prod)> # for RAILS_ENV=production
  my-app(my_env)> # for RAILS_ENV=my_env
  

  The application name is derived from the application’s module name from config/application.rb.
  For example, MyApp will displayed as my-app in the prompt.

  Additionally, the environment name will be colorized when the environment is
  development (blue), test (blue), or production (red), if your
  terminal supports it.

  Stan Lo

• Ensure autoload_paths, autoload_once_paths, eager_load_paths, and
  load_paths only have directories when initialized from engine defaults.

  Previously, files under the app directory could end up there too.

  Takumasa Ochi

• Prevent unnecessary application reloads in development.

  Previously, some files outside autoload paths triggered unnecessary reloads.
  With this fix, application reloads according to Rails.autoloaders.main.dirs,
  thereby preventing unnecessary reloads.

  Takumasa Ochi

• Use oven-sh/setup-bun in GitHub CI when generating an app with Bun.

  TangRufus

• Disable pidfile generation in the production environment.

  Hans Schnedlitz

• Set config.action_view.annotate_rendered_view_with_filenames to true in
  the development environment.

  Adrian Marin

• Support the BACKTRACE environment variable to turn off backtrace cleaning.

  Useful for debugging framework code:

  BACKTRACE=1 bin/rails server
  

  Alex Ghiculescu

• Raise ArgumentError when reading config.x.something with arguments:

  config.x.this_works.this_raises true # raises ArgumentError
  

  Sean Doyle

• Add default PWA files for manifest and service-worker that are served from app/views/pwa and can be dynamically rendered through ERB. Mount these files explicitly at the root with default routes in the generated routes file.

  DHH

• Updated system tests to now use headless Chrome by default for the new applications.

  DHH

• Add GitHub CI files for Dependabot, Brakeman, RuboCop, and running tests by default. Can be skipped with --skip-ci.

  DHH

• Add Brakeman by default for static analysis of security vulnerabilities. Allow skipping with --skip-brakeman option.

  vipulnsward

• Add RuboCop with rules from rubocop-rails-omakase by default. Skip with --skip-rubocop.

  DHH and zzak

• Use bin/rails runner --skip-executor to not wrap the runner script with an
  Executor.

  Ben Sheldon

• Fix isolated engines to take ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix into consideration.

  This will allow for engine defined models, such as inside Active Storage, to respect
  Active Record table name prefix configuration.

  Chedli Bourguiba

• Fix running db:system:change when the app has no Dockerfile.

  Hartley McGuire

• In Action Mailer previews, list inline attachments separately from normal
  attachments.

  For example, attachments that were previously listed like

  > Attachments: logo.png file1.pdf file2.pdf

  will now be listed like

  > Attachments: file1.pdf file2.pdf (Inline: logo.png)

  Christian Schmidt and Jonathan Hefner

• In mailer preview, only show SMTP-To if it differs from the union of To, Cc and Bcc.

  Christian Schmidt

• Enable YJIT by default on new applications running Ruby 3.3+.

  This can be disabled by setting Rails.application.config.yjit = false

  Jean Boussier, Rafael Mendonça França

• In Action Mailer previews, show date from message Date header if present.

  Sampat Badhe

• Exit with non-zero status when the migration generator fails.

  Katsuhiko YOSHIDA

• Use numeric UID and GID in Dockerfile template.

  The Dockerfile generated by rails new sets the default user and group
  by name instead of UID:GID. This can cause the following error in Kubernetes:

  container has runAsNonRoot and image has non-numeric user (rails), cannot verify user is non-root
  

  This change sets default user and group by their numeric values.

  Ivan Fedotov

• Disallow invalid values for rails new options.

  The --database, --asset-pipeline, --css, and --javascript options
  for rails new take different arguments. This change validates them.

  Tony Drake, Akhil G Krishnan, Petrik de Heus

• Conditionally print $stdout when invoking run_generator.

  In an effort to improve the developer experience when debugging
  generator tests, we add the ability to conditionally print $stdout
  instead of capturing it.

  This allows for calls to binding.irb and puts work as expected.

  RAILS_LOG_TO_STDOUT=true ./bin/test test/generators/actions_test.rb
  

  Steve Polito

• Remove the option config.public_file_server.enabled from the generators
  for all environments, as the value is the same in all environments.
