SaturdayMP Show #33: Upgrading Website from Rails 6.1 to 7.0 Part 5 (Removing Webpack CI Fixes)

Posted on February 21, 2024 by Chris C

In this episode I fix issues in continuous integration (CI) pipeline and other DevOps caused by removing Webpack. Longer episode as I encounter a issue with Dart Sass for Rails and I think the CI builds the Docker containers for production instead of development. Live coding at it’s best. What other developer actually shows them messing up in real time?

Happy Valentines Day! In this episode I replace Webpack with Import Maps and it gees well, at least in the development environment. I’ll likely run into issues when I try a staging deploy and need to make changes in the CI but that is a problem for future Chris in a future video.

In this episode I try Endede‘s solution to the Fibonacci Size Challenge in Human Resource Machine and, spoiler alert, it work! Thanks Endede!

You can stop watching the video after the Fibonacci section, unless you like watching me struggle, as I attempt the Size or Speed Challenge for the Three Sort problem and fail at both. Ping me if you have suggestions for solving the Three Sort challenges.

Should have been a shorter video but I created a CI issue by changing they system tests from using “headless_chrome” to just “chrome”. If you know the reason for this issue let me know in the video comments or email me.
