Upgrading Rails to 6.1 and plugins

Development
#1

Hi everybody,
right now there is an open PR for switching Rails version from 6.0 to 6.1 [0].
It’s still in draft and there is still some work to do but I would like to notify all plugin maintainers in advance and ask them to check if their plugins still works, so there won’t be any unwelcome surprises when we merge the 6.1 change.

The plan is to merge it this release and after that move to Zeitwerk [1]

I’ll take care about the following plugins:

  • :green_circle: Dynflow (already fixed in this PR [2], released in 1.6.5 version)
  • Remote Execution
  • Ansible
  • Leapp

I quickly checked the Katello plugin and it’s failing on migration and on the startup as well, see the full logs ([3] & [4]).

[0] https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/9117
[1] Rails 6.1(2) upgrade
[2] https://github.com/Dynflow/dynflow/pull/411
[3] Katello migration on Rails 6.1 - Pastebin.com
[4] Katello startup on Rails 6.1 - Pastebin.com

Note that @packaging should also get involved and make sure we have RPMs.

Hi,
as the date for 3.3 branching is getting closer (10.05), I would like to ping all plugin maintainers and remind them that after the branching we are going to merge the 6.1 PR to the core, which will for sure break some stuff in the plugins.

I did some work on few plugins and briefly checked others, but I would like to ask plugin maintainers to check it personally and verify that everything works well.

Plugin Status
katello :red_circle: Failing
Packaging and installer ?
foreman_remote_execution :green_circle: merged
foreman_ansible :orange_circle: PR in review
foreman_leapp :orange_circle: PR in review
foreman_azure_rm :orange_circle: There may be issues
foreman_bootdisk :orange_circle: There may be issues
foreman_openscap :orange_circle: There may be issues
foreman_theme_satellite :orange_circle: There may be issues
foreman-tasks :green_circle: Should be fine
foreman_discovery :green_circle: Should be fine
foreman_hooks :green_circle: Should be fine
foreman_rh_cloud :green_circle: Should be fine
foreman_templates :green_circle: Should be fine
foreman_virt_who_configure :green_circle: Should be fine
foreman_webhooks :green_circle: Should be fine

The main issues I found in Rex, Ansible and Leapp were:

  • Including / prepending template helpers
  • .where.not with multiple arguments

See the plugin PRs for more details, or feel free to ping me on IRC.

Pinging @katello devs, this change will brake the foreman+katello workflow, and the date of merge is getting closer - 10th of May. If you need any help feel free to ping me.
