Upgrade strategy?

Hi,

I’m wondering about what’s going on during this rails app:upgrade from 8.0.0-rc1 to 8.0.0-rc2

It looks like the original app generation (new at rails 8.0.0-rc1) set itself up to use solid{cache,queue} but the incoming file are just other base defaults using mem and redis respectively.

I assume it is prudent to diff/grok these changes during app:upgrade everytime?

I assume that these files (especially environments/*.rb) will become increasing diverged from any original or default, so the trick is to spot the overhaul changes between more significant point releases

I’m new to rails and so really appreciate any gotchas here.

Thanks, R

And similarly - as I pick my way through the conflicts …

the dev script is being transitioned away from foreman which appears to also do some CSS generation, to just running rails server (and ignoring the CSS build)

This seems like a bug (relating to the experience of developers new to rails)
