Just looking at the guide for upgrading an app to rails 5 [1], and have a question
In section 2.2 it says the ActiveRecord models now inherit from ApplicationRecord, so when upgrading one should create application_record.rb containing
class ApplicationRecord < ActiveRecord::Base self.abstract_class = true end
However it does not say that one should modify existing models to derive from this class. I think this is just an omission in the docs, is that right?
I note that in section 2.4 talking about a similar change to ActiveJob that it /does/ say to change the base class for existing jobs.
