Cron syntax works great in this config file too (its what I use)

Looks ok. Do you have mission control jobs setup to see if it appears in the recurring tab (also try β€˜every day at 9am’ in case that particular wording doesnt work).

You have a config/recurring.yml set up?

Tailwind isn’t nobuild sadly. I mean you could still build it prior and put the css file in app/assets. Propshaft will pick it up.

Beware Tailwind Color Changes

β€œ.. the fact that the color values are subtly changing with each release could be problem for your users and the consistency of your application.”

Ive not used it but i would think it also needs a separate database per core to prevent leakage?

21.11.2024 02:19 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

The issue is the more cores you have the more database setup needs to happen (schema loads and fixture loads). So it makes sense that its slower but the sweet spot will change as the test suite grows.

Try running your test suite with one core PARALLEL_WORKERS=1 rails test and see if its faster than when using all your cores (the default)

Found that is was faster to run my Rails test suite with a single core instead of all 16. I wrote a little script that runs the test suite with the same seed from 1 to x cores and then tabulate the result. (this is for 433 tests, 1250 assertions).

Yeah so it would be cool if there was an inherits: production with overrides for staging.

Too much clutter otherwise. And upgrading rails apps is a constant diff game with these three files in particular.

19.11.2024 22:56 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

imo config/environments/* files should be empty.

The only things in there should be overrides of default values.

eg if force_ssl is true by default in production then it should not be in the production.rb file *unless* I want to override it to false.

I wish I had the motivation to execute app ideas of my own. But I don’t. But executing on a clients or employers project/vision I am 100% on board and motivated and delivering. Anyone else feel like this?

Going to go down the ActiveSupport::Notifications rabbit hole today and see if I can improve the design of my app that has some callbacks that could be better by being event driven.

Do y’all upgrade the ruby version to the latest in your apps as soon as it comes out? Or wait? Or some set cadence?

They are fun to write. Little sprinkles.

Rails 8 is out. Nothing relaxes me more than upgrading Rails versions. It has gotten so much easier over the years.

I’m a Ruby on Rails developer focussed on small/solo teams, reducing complexity of the app stack and reducing costs.

I’d pay for screencasts of guests opening up their rails apps to pair on upgrades and refactorings.

Eg Here is one hour of replacing sidekiq with solid queue on this 7 year old app.
