  • Rails 7.1 Released
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Oct 2023
    I took a 13,000 line Rails 7.0 app and updated it to 7.1. I had to change 1 line of test configuration code to make everything work.

    I would say that's a success for having an easy upgrade path. Now the fun part is going back to refactor some of the code to use the new features in 7.1.

    If anyone is curious, I updated my Rails / Docker example app to use 7.1 too https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example. Even though Rails 7.1 comes with a Dockerfile, there's still a lot of opinions you can add such as using Docker Compose to have a fully working out of the box experience that works in development and production -- complete with Postgres, Redis, Action Cable, Sidekiq and more.

    Even though Rails 7.1 comes with a Dockerfile, there's still a lot of opinions you can add such as using Docker Compose to have a fully working out of the box experience that works in development and production.

    If anyone is interested in that, I updated my example Rails app https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example to use Rails 7.1 a few hours after 7.1 dropped.

    If anyone is looking for a more complete guide I put together this a while back: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/a-guide-for-running-rails-in-...

    The post also includes a ~1h hour ad-free YouTube video. It includes running Rails and also Sidekiq, Postgres, Redis, Action Cable and ties in esbuild and Tailwind too. It's all managed by Docker Compose.

    The example app is open source at https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example and it's optimized for both development and production. No strings attached.
