  Prem Sichanugrist

• Add -e/--environment option to rails initializers.

  Yuji Yaginuma

Rails 6.0.0.beta3 (March 11, 2019)

  Gannon McGibbon

• Add rails db:system:change command for changing databases.

  bin/rails db:system:change --to=postgresql
     force  config/database.yml
      gsub  Gemfile
  

  The change command copies a template config/database.yml with the target database adapter into your app, and replaces your database gem with the target database gem.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Add rails test:channels.

  bogdanvlviv

• Use original bundler environment variables during the process of generating a new rails project.

  Marco Costa

• Send Active Storage analysis and purge jobs to dedicated queues by default.

  Analysis jobs now use the :active_storage_analysis queue, and purge jobs now use the :active_storage_purge queue. This matches Action Mailbox, which sends its jobs to dedicated queues by default.

  George Claghorn

• Add rails test:mailboxes.

  George Claghorn

• Introduce guard against DNS rebinding attacks.

  The ActionDispatch::HostAuthorization is a new middleware that prevents against DNS rebinding and other Host header attacks. It is included in the development environment by default with the following configuration:

  Rails.application.config.hosts = [
    IPAddr.new("0.0.0.0/0"), # All IPv4 addresses.
    IPAddr.new("::/0"),      # All IPv6 addresses.
    "localhost"              # The localhost reserved domain.
  ]
  

  In other environments Rails.application.config.hosts is empty and no Host header checks will be done. If you want to guard against header attacks on production, you have to manually permit the allowed hosts with:

  Rails.application.config.hosts << "product.com"
  

  The host of a request is checked against the hosts entries with the case operator (#===), which lets hosts support entries of type RegExp, Proc and IPAddr to name a few. Here is an example with a regexp.

  # Allow requests from subdomains like `www.product.com` and
  # `beta1.product.com`.
  Rails.application.config.hosts << /.*\.product\.com/
  

  A special case is supported that allows you to permit all sub-domains:

  # Allow requests from subdomains like `www.product.com` and
  # `beta1.product.com`.
  Rails.application.config.hosts << ".product.com"

• Remove redundant suffixes on generated helpers.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Remove redundant suffixes on generated integration tests.

• Fix boolean interaction in scaffold system tests.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Remove redundant suffixes on generated system tests.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Add an abort_on_failure boolean option to the generator method that shell out (generate, rake, rails_command) to abort the generator if the command fails.

  David Rodríguez

• Remove app/assets and app/javascript from eager_load_paths and autoload_paths.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Use Ids instead of memory addresses when displaying references in scaffold views.

  Fixes #29200.

  Rasesh Patel

• Adds support for multiple databases to rails db:migrate:status. Subtasks are also added to get the status of individual databases (eg. rails db:migrate:status:animals).

  Gannon McGibbon

• Use Webpacker by default to manage app-level JavaScript through the new app/javascript directory. Sprockets is now solely in charge, by default, of compiling CSS and other static assets. Action Cable channel generators will create ES6 stubs rather than use CoffeeScript. Active Storage, Action Cable, Turbolinks, and Rails-UJS are loaded by a new application.js pack. Generators no longer generate JavaScript stubs.

  DHH, Lachlan Sylvester

• Add database (aliased as db) option to model generator to allow setting the database. This is useful for applications that use multiple databases and put migrations per database in their own directories.

  bin/rails g model Room capacity:integer --database=kingston
        invoke  active_record
        create    db/kingston_migrate/20180830151055_create_rooms.rb
  

  Because rails scaffolding uses the model generator, you can also specify a database with the scaffold generator.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Raise an error when "recyclable cache keys" are being used by a cache store that does not explicitly support it. Custom cache keys that do support this feature can bypass this error by implementing the supports_cache_versioning? method on their class and returning a truthy value.

  Richard Schneeman

• Support environment specific credentials overrides.

  So any environment will look for config/credentials/#{Rails.env}.yml.enc and fall back to config/credentials.yml.enc.

  The encryption key can be in ENV["RAILS_MASTER_KEY"] or config/credentials/production.key.

  Environment credentials overrides can be edited with rails credentials:edit --environment production. If no override is set up for the passed environment, it will be created.

  Additionally, the default lookup paths can be overwritten with these configs:

  • config.credentials.content_path
  • config.credentials.key_path

  Wojciech Wnętrzak

• Make ActiveSupport::Cache::NullStore the default cache store in the test environment.

  Michael C. Nelson

• Emit warning for unknown inflection rule when generating model.

  Yoshiyuki Kinjo

• Add database (aliased as db) option to migration generator.

  If you're using multiple databases and have a folder for each database for migrations (ex db/migrate and db/new_db_migrate) you can now pass the --database option to the generator to make sure the the migration is inserted into the correct folder.

  rails g migration CreateHouses --database=kingston
    invoke  active_record
    create    db/kingston_migrate/20180830151055_create_houses.rb
  

  Eileen M. Uchitelle

• Deprecate rake routes in favor of rails routes.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Deprecate rake initializers in favor of rails initializers.

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Deprecate rake dev:cache in favor of rails dev:cache.

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Deprecate rails notes subcommands in favor of passing an annotations argument to rails notes.

  The following subcommands are replaced by passing --annotations or -a to rails notes:

  • rails notes:custom ANNOTATION=custom is deprecated in favor of using rails notes -a custom.
  • rails notes:optimize is deprecated in favor of using rails notes -a OPTIMIZE.
  • rails notes:todo is deprecated in favor of usingrails notes -a TODO.
  • rails notes:fixme is deprecated in favor of using rails notes -a FIXME.

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Deprecate SOURCE_ANNOTATION_DIRECTORIES environment variable used by rails notes through Rails::SourceAnnotationExtractor::Annotation in favor of using config.annotations.register_directories.

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Deprecate rake notes in favor of rails notes.

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Don't generate unused files in app:update task.

  Skip the assets' initializer when sprockets isn't loaded.

  Skip config/spring.rb when spring isn't loaded.

  Skip yarn's contents when yarn integration isn't used.

  Tsukuru Tanimichi

• Make the master.key file read-only for the owner upon generation on POSIX-compliant systems.

  Previously:

  $ ls -l config/master.key
  -rw-r--r--   1 owner  group      32 Jan 1 00:00 master.key
  

  Now:

  $ ls -l config/master.key
  -rw-------   1 owner  group      32 Jan 1 00:00 master.key
  

  Fixes #32604.

  Jose Luis Duran

• Deprecate support for using the HOST environment variable to specify the server IP.

  The BINDING environment variable should be used instead.

  Fixes #29516.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Deprecate passing Rack server name as a regular argument to rails server.

  Previously:

  $ bin/rails server thin
  

  There wasn't an explicit option for the Rack server to use, now we have the --using option with the -u short switch.

  Now:

  $ bin/rails server -u thin
  

  This change also improves the error message if a missing or mistyped rack server is given.

  Genadi Samokovarov

• Add "rails routes --expanded" option to output routes in expanded mode like "psql --expanded". Result looks like:

  $ rails routes --expanded
  --[ Route 1 ]------------------------------------------------------------
  Prefix            | high_scores
  Verb              | GET
  URI               | /high_scores(.:format)
  Controller#Action | high_scores#index
  --[ Route 2 ]------------------------------------------------------------
  Prefix            | new_high_score
  Verb              | GET
  URI               | /high_scores/new(.:format)
  Controller#Action | high_scores#new
