Upgrading to Rails 4.1 from Rails 4.0 – Ruby on Rails

Upgrading to Ruby on Rails 4.1 was much easier than moving from 3.2 to 4.0. Maybe because I try to keep all the apps up-2-date, maybe because Rails guys didn't change much stuff ;) (or maybe both). Either way, lets get through it.

Paperclip - String based terminators are deprecated, please use a lambda

DEPRECATION WARNING: String based terminators are deprecated, please use a lambda. 
(called from has_attached_file at app/config/initializers/paperclip_extensions.rb:22)

Well this one is really simple - just update Paperclip gem:

bundle update paperclip

More about this issue here.

The ability to pass in strings as a class name to set_fixture_class
will be removed

Next deprecation warning:

DEPRECATION WARNING: The ability to pass in strings as a class name to `set_fixture_class`
 will be removed in Rails 4.2. Use the class itself instead. 
(called from block in initialize at gems/activerecord-4.1.0/lib/active_record/fixtures.rb:465)

It you use Rspec you probably won't see this issue at all (or if you don't use fixtures). One of my apps unfortunately still does. Solution to this is really simple. Instead of:

set_fixture_class scanlation_categories:  'Scanlation::Category'
set_fixture_class scanlation_chapters:    'Scanlation::Chapter'
set_fixture_class scanlation_pages:       'Scanlation::Page'

use the class name itself (not its string version):

set_fixture_class scanlation_categories:  Scanlation::Category
set_fixture_class scanlation_chapters:    Scanlation::Chapter
set_fixture_class scanlation_pages:       Scanlation::Page

To remove this issue, upgrade your Ransack, MetaSearch and Squeel gems to newest versions and/or add this to your Gemfile:

gem 'polyamorous', github: 'activerecord-hackery/polyamorous'

ActionView::Template::Error:
 undefined method `reverse!' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation []>

./spec/support/macros/controllers/actions.rb:80:in `block (4 levels) in <module:Actions>'

With ActiveRecord 4.1, you can't call reverse! directly on ActiveRecord::Relation. Example:

# This will throw an error
@articles = Article.limit(10).order('created_at DESC').reverse!

Instead you have to cast ActiveRecord::Relation to an array:

@articles = Article.limit(10).order('created_at DESC').to_a.reverse!

Keep in mind, that casting with to_a will deprive you from all benefits of lazy loading with Rails relations so use it carefully. But on the other hand, reverse! on ActiveRecord::Relation did the same, so if you used it and it was ok, than feel free ;)

Just install the newest version of ransack gem.

gem 'ransack', github: 'ernie/ransack'

Scoped order and limit are ignored, it's forced to be batch order and batch size

This is quite logical - you can't have some of orders when batching (for example a RAND()). That's why ActiveRecord is ignoring it. Just keep that in mind ;)

Example:

Token.2.1.0 :001 > Token.order('RAND()').find_each{}
W, [2014-05-09T11:26:46.601539 #11569]  WARN -- : 
Scoped order and limit are ignored, it's forced to be batch order and batch size
D, [2014-05-09T11:26:46.698603 #11569] DEBUG -- :   
Token Load (3.7ms)  SELECT  "accounts".* FROM "accounts"   ORDER BY "accounts"."id" ASC LIMIT 1000

Other issues

Well to be honest I didn't have any more issues. I've decided to remove Squeel gem from all of my projects, since it is not currently maintained. Thanks to that I've finally got rid of this irritating deprecation warning:

DEPRECATION WARNING: Core extensions are deprecated and will be removed in Squeel 2.0.
 (called from /app/config/initializers/squeel.rb:2:in `block in <top (required)>')

Summary

Rails 4.1 is not a big step, although it is a required one if you want to upgrade to 4.2 in the future. If you have decent test coverage level, you should not have big issues with this upgrade.

Errbit + HTTPS: Setting up Errbit reporter (Airbrake v4 gem) to work with self-signed HTTPS Errbit

Warning: This post is outdated and this fix will work only with old Airbrake version (v4) - it does not work with the v4 version of Airbrake notifier. If you're looking for a solution for Airbrake v5, please refere to this post: Errbit + HTTPS: Setting up Errbit reporter (Airbrake v5 gem) to work with self-signed HTTPS certificate

Having an error catcher like Errbit behind SSL is generally a good idea. Especially when Errbit is hosted on a different server than you application (for example when you manage multiple apps with one Errbit instance). In many cases you will have a self-signed certificate (why would you pay for a cert for internal tool). If you try to use it with Airbrake, you will see following error:

2.1.0 :002 &gt; Airbrake.notify Exception.new('test')
** [Airbrake] Unable to contact the Airbrake server. HTTP Error=SSL_connect

In order to make it work you need to disable SSL verification for Ruby:

OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

Of course keep in mind, that it will disable SSL verification for all other libs as well.

Whole Errbit config should look like this:

Airbrake.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = 'api_key'
  config.host    = 'errbit.domain'
  config.port    = 443
  config.secure  = true
  config.ignore_only = ['ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound']
end if Rails.env.production?

OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
