This Week in Rails

Logging, raising and rescuing errors and a fix for a query method.

Cześć! I'm Emmanuel, and I have some updates for you from Rails.

Log a warning if ActiveSupport::Cache is given an expiration in the past
Imagine trying to write/fetch to/from a cache and the operation fails silently because `expires_at` is in the past... a debugger's nightmare. This PR helps. You won't get an error raised, instead, you'll get "Cache expiration is in the past" in your logs.

Define and raise error if legacy_connection_handling= is called from an app
In Rails 6.0 if you switched to a role, say `reading`, then all database connections would also switch to that role. In Rails 6.1 however, you could set `legacy_connection_handling` to `false` to disable this behaviour. `legacy_connection_handling` was removed in Rails 7 without setting it to `false` by default, causing an error. This PR fixes that by redefining `legacy_connection_handling` and raising an error.

Fix ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#in_order_of to work with nils
This PR fixes an issue where an invalid SQL is generated when `nil` is passed to `in_order_of`.

Rescue EOFError error from rack on a multipart request
`EOFError` is added to the list of rescued errors that can arise from a multipart POST request, raising a `ActionController::BadRequest` exception and rendering a `400 Bad Request` instead of `500 Internal Server Error`.

Add description of breaking changes and the deprecation cycle to guides
This PR clarifies the deprecation cycle. This is mostly to help contributors but a good addition to the documentation nonetheless.

We had 11 contributors since last week.

That's it. Do zobaczenia!
