I started at a company 3 years ago that was on Rails 5.1. After 3 years on and off work I've managed to get it to Rails 6.1. The process is such an incredible nightmare on a large app.
At some point you just have to rip the bandaid off and put any ongoing work on pause until the upgrade is done. Otherwise it'll be another 3 years on and off while you try to do the upgrade but the codebase keeps changing underneath you.
And if that isn't happening and there's no other development on the codebase, why bother upgrading it?
Same thing for me—4 years ago, Rails 4.2. Now on 6.0, work for 6.1 is wrapped up. I did just finish going from Ruby 2.7 to 3.3. Any particular issues you’re having, or just working through the process?
Don’t have the exact details on me but it was just the change for the method params hash thing. The stack trace seems to be pointing places that aren’t the source of the issue, just where it got triggered in some dynamic way.
Probably just need to spend more time understanding exactly what changed and how to convert stuff.
Currently stuck on trying to get Ruby 3 working.
