New Stuff
Add job priorities to ActiveJob
This commit allows you to set the priority for your jobs with Active Job, if your backend supports this. For more details head over to the pull request.
Fail fast reporting in test runner
If you call your test suite with --fail-fast
it will abort the test run on the first failure.
Allow fixtures files to set the model class in the file itself
From now on you can set the model class in your fixture files, but set_fixture_class
on your model will override it.
Fixed
Handle nested fields_for by adding indexes to record_name
This commit adds indexes to the inputs in the inner blocks of a nested fields_for
, so Rails won’t raise an exception on the submission of the form.
Add a hidden field on the collection_radio_buttons
This commit fixes an issue with strong_parameters
if you have a single collection_radio_button
on your form and the form is submitted with no selection.
Fix parameter sanitization for query methods
With this commit the Action Controller parameters are sanitized before being passed to the Active Record query methods.
Wrapping Up
That’s all for This week in Rails. As always, there are many more changes than we have room to cover here, but feel free to check them out yourself.
Until next time!
