- <h3 id="general-advice">1 General Advice</h3><p>Before attempting to upgrade an existing application, you should be sure you have a good reason to upgrade. You need to balance out several factors: the need for new features, the increasing difficulty of finding support for old code, and your available time and skills, to name a few.</p><h4 id="test-coverage">1.1 Test Coverage</h4><p>The best way to be sure that your application still works after upgrading is to have good test coverage before you start the process. If you don't have automated tests that exercise the bulk of your application, you'll need to spend time manually exercising all the parts that have changed. In the case of a Rails upgrade, that will mean every single piece of functionality in the application. Do yourself a favor and make sure your test coverage is good <em>before</em> you start an upgrade.</p><h4 id="ruby-versions">1.2 Ruby Versions</h4><p>Rails generally stays close to the latest released Ruby version when it's released:</p>
266
- <ul>
267
- <li>Rails 3 and above require Ruby 1.8.7 or higher. Support for all of the previous Ruby versions has been dropped officially. You should upgrade as early as possible.</li>
268
- <li>Rails 3.2.x is the last branch to support Ruby 1.8.7.</li>
269
- <li>Rails 4 prefers Ruby 2.0 and requires 1.9.3 or newer.</li>
270
- </ul>
271
- <div class="info"><p>Ruby 1.8.7 p248 and p249 have marshaling bugs that crash Rails. Ruby Enterprise Edition has these fixed since the release of 1.8.7-2010.02. On the 1.9 front, Ruby 1.9.1 is not usable because it outright segfaults, so if you want to use 1.9.x, jump straight to 1.9.3 for smooth sailing.</p></div><h4 id="the-rake-task">1.3 The Rake Task</h4><p>Rails provides the <code>rails:update</code> rake task. After updating the Rails version
272
- in the Gemfile, run this rake task.
273
- This will help you with the creation of new files and changes of old files in a
274
- interactive session.</p><div class="code_container">

292
- assigning <code>nil</code> to a serialized attribute will save it to the database
293
- as <code>NULL</code> instead of passing the <code>nil</code> value through the coder (e.g. <code>"null"</code>

295

- <h4 id="rails-html-sanitizer">2.6 Rails Html Sanitizer</h4><p>There's a new choice for sanitizing HTML fragments in your applications. The
325
- venerable html-scanner approach is now officially being deprecated in favor of
326
- <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails-html-sanitizer"><code>Rails Html Sanitizer</code></a>.</p><p>This means the methods <code>sanitize</code>, <code>sanitize_css</code>, <code>strip_tags</code> and
327
- <code>strip_links</code> are backed by a new implementation.</p><p>In the next major Rails version <code>Rails Html Sanitizer</code> will be the default
328
- sanitizer. It already is for new applications.</p><p>Include this in your Gemfile to try it out today:</p><div class="code_container">
329
- <pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
330
- gem 'rails-html-sanitizer'
331
-
332
- </pre>
333
- </div>
334
- <p>This new sanitizer uses <a href="https://github.com/flavorjones/loofah">Loofah</a> internally. Loofah in turn uses Nokogiri, which
335
- wraps XML parsers written in both C and Java, so sanitization should be faster
336
- no matter which Ruby version you run.</p><p>The new version updates <code>sanitize</code>, so it can take a <code>Loofah::Scrubber</code> for
337
- powerful scrubbing.
338
- <a href="https://github.com/flavorjones/loofah#loofahscrubber">See some examples of scrubbers here</a>.</p><p>Two new scrubbers have also been added: <code>PermitScrubber</code> and <code>TargetScrubber</code>.
339
- Read the <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails-html-sanitizer">gem's readme</a> for more information.</p><p>The documentation for <code>PermitScrubber</code> and <code>TargetScrubber</code> explains how you
340
- can gain complete control over when and how elements should be stripped.</p><h4 id="rails-dom-testing">2.7 Rails DOM Testing</h4><div class="todo"><p>Mention <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/4e97d7585a2f4788b9eed98c6cdaf4bb6f2cf5ce">https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/4e97d7585a2f4788b9eed98c6cdaf4bb6f2cf5ce</a></p></div><h3 id="upgrading-from-rails-4.0-to-rails-4.1">3 Upgrading from Rails 4.0 to Rails 4.1</h3><h4 id="csrf-protection-from-remote-&lt;script&gt;-tags">3.1 CSRF protection from remote <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> tags</h4><p>Or, "whaaat my tests are failing!!!?"</p><p>Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection now covers GET requests with

761
- <ul>
762
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 has removed the identity map from Active Record, due to <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/302c912bf6bcd0fa200d964ec2dc4a44abe328a6">some inconsistencies with associations</a>. If you have manually enabled it in your application, you will have to remove the following config that has no effect anymore: <code>config.active_record.identity_map</code>.</p></li>
763
- <li><p>The <code>delete</code> method in collection associations can now receive <code>Fixnum</code> or <code>String</code> arguments as record ids, besides records, pretty much like the <code>destroy</code> method does. Previously it raised <code>ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch</code> for such arguments. From Rails 4.0 on <code>delete</code> automatically tries to find the records matching the given ids before deleting them.</p></li>
764
- <li><p>In Rails 4.0 when a column or a table is renamed the related indexes are also renamed. If you have migrations which rename the indexes, they are no longer needed.</p></li>
765
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 has changed <code>serialized_attributes</code> and <code>attr_readonly</code> to class methods only. You shouldn't use instance methods since it's now deprecated. You should change them to use class methods, e.g. <code>self.serialized_attributes</code> to <code>self.class.serialized_attributes</code>.</p></li>
766
- <li><p>When using the default coder, assigning <code>nil</code> to a serialized attribute will save it
767
- to the database as <code>NULL</code> instead of passing the <code>nil</code> value through YAML (<code>"--- \n...\n"</code>).</p></li>
768
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 has removed <code>attr_accessible</code> and <code>attr_protected</code> feature in favor of Strong Parameters. You can use the <a href="https://github.com/rails/protected_attributes">Protected Attributes gem</a> for a smooth upgrade path.</p></li>
769
- <li><p>If you are not using Protected Attributes, you can remove any options related to
770

788
- <li>
789
- <p>All dynamic methods except for <code>find_by_...</code> and <code>find_by_...!</code> are deprecated.

791
- <ul>
792
- <li>
793

801
- <code>find_or_create_by_...</code> becomes <code>find_or_create_by(...)</code>.</li>
802
- </ul>
803
- </li>
804
- <li><p>Note that <code>where(...)</code> returns a relation, not an array like the old finders. If you require an <code>Array</code>, use <code>where(...).to_a</code>.</p></li>
805
- <li><p>These equivalent methods may not execute the same SQL as the previous implementation.</p></li>
806
- <li><p>To re-enable the old finders, you can use the <a href="https://github.com/rails/activerecord-deprecated_finders">activerecord-deprecated_finders gem</a>.</p></li>

- <li><p>Rails 4.0 has changed <code>ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON.include_root_in_json</code> default value to <code>false</code>.

833

834
- <p>Please note that you should wait to set <code>secret_key_base</code> until you have 100% of your userbase on Rails 4.x and are reasonably sure you will not need to rollback to Rails 3.x. This is because cookies signed based on the new <code>secret_key_base</code> in Rails 4.x are not backwards compatible with Rails 3.x. You are free to leave your existing <code>secret_token</code> in place, not set the new <code>secret_key_base</code>, and ignore the deprecation warnings until you are reasonably sure that your upgrade is otherwise complete.</p><p>If you are relying on the ability for external applications or Javascript to be able to read your Rails app's signed session cookies (or signed cookies in general) you should not set <code>secret_key_base</code> until you have decoupled these concerns.</p>
835
- <ul>
836
- <li>Rails 4.0 encrypts the contents of cookie-based sessions if <code>secret_key_base</code> has been set. Rails 3.x signed, but did not encrypt, the contents of cookie-based session. Signed cookies are "secure" in that they are verified to have been generated by your app and are tamper-proof. However, the contents can be viewed by end users, and encrypting the contents eliminates this caveat/concern without a significant performance penalty.</li>

840
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 removed the <code>ActionController::Base.asset_path</code> option. Use the assets pipeline feature.</p></li>
841
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 has deprecated <code>ActionController::Base.page_cache_extension</code> option. Use <code>ActionController::Base.default_static_extension</code> instead.</p></li>
842
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 has removed Action and Page caching from Action Pack. You will need to add the <code>actionpack-action_caching</code> gem in order to use <code>caches_action</code> and the <code>actionpack-page_caching</code> to use <code>caches_pages</code> in your controllers.</p></li>
843
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 has removed the XML parameters parser. You will need to add the <code>actionpack-xml_parser</code> gem if you require this feature.</p></li>
844
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 changes the default memcached client from <code>memcache-client</code> to <code>dalli</code>. To upgrade, simply add <code>gem 'dalli'</code> to your <code>Gemfile</code>.</p></li>
845
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 deprecates the <code>dom_id</code> and <code>dom_class</code> methods in controllers (they are fine in views). You will need to include the <code>ActionView::RecordIdentifier</code> module in controllers requiring this feature.</p></li>
846
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 deprecates the <code>:confirm</code> option for the <code>link_to</code> helper. You should
847
- instead rely on a data attribute (e.g. <code>data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' }</code>).
848
- This deprecation also concerns the helpers based on this one (such as <code>link_to_if</code>
849
- or <code>link_to_unless</code>).</p></li>
850
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 changed how <code>assert_generates</code>, <code>assert_recognizes</code>, and <code>assert_routing</code> work. Now all these assertions raise <code>Assertion</code> instead of <code>ActionController::RoutingError</code>.</p></li>
851
- <li><p>Rails 4.0 raises an <code>ArgumentError</code> if clashing named routes are defined. This can be triggered by explicitly defined named routes or by the <code>resources</code> method. Here are two examples that clash with routes named <code>example_path</code>:</p></li>
