Hey Discourse Team, This marks the 1-year-and-1-month anniversary of the Rails 5 release, it looks like 5.1.3 will be out soon (second release candidate lands today). Wondering if there have been any thoughts on upgrading Discourse to Rails 5.x anytime soon? Why or why not?

I think our main problem is that Active Record gets slower in each release? Not sure, but we worry much more about “keeping up with the Joneses” for Ember (client side JS) releases than Rails on the server side, which is quite mature.

I think upgrading to Rails 5 would be a good idea since the Action Cable could be useful especially for getting notifications…

We already use a much better library to handle all the notifications/updates :wink: https://github.com/samsaffron/message_bus

I am in for a long long ride… undefined method `xhr' for #<RSpec::ExampleGroups::AdminDashboardController::WhileLoggedInAsAnAdmin::Index::VersionCheckingIsDisabled:0x00564a2c54c820>

Ok I have tests green going for the main code base in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/5122 When I thought I was done, I realized I’ll have to go through all our plugins as well otherwise :crying_cat_face: Will grind through those next week!

Rails 5.1 is now deployed on meta. I’m seeing performance regressed on the topics and categories page ATM so we can’t roll it out immediately to everyone. Another notable change is that Activerecord’s pluck is notably slower which I’ve submit a PR for in https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/30524 N…

This has kind of changed because of Automatic encoding of parsed URL params - #26 by elijah , if the upgrade is not to painful and there is no perf regression we should go ahead.
