Administrate: Rails 5 support

[teoljungberg]

There seems to be a few blockers of upgrading administrate, and since Rails 5 was released yesterday - It'd be good to have administrate upgraded aswell.

@graysonwright Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out.

[clemensg]

Yes, please let's make administrate Rails 5 compatible :)

What about PR https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/pull/575 ?

[ID25]

Just remind that currently we can use this fork, it works well with rails 5

gem 'administrate', github: 'greetpoint/administrate', branch: 'rails5'
gem 'bourbon', '~> 5.0.0.beta.5' 

[teoljungberg]

@ID25 Thanks for bringing that up!

I started incorporating your branch into Administrate itself and captured it here https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/tree/rails-5.

All though, I ran into issues with generators. But ran out of time, so if someone else wants to pick this up - feel more than welcome to do so.

Looks like the column_types method no longer exists. I patched this method and had the generator run successfully.

      def column_type_for_attribute(attr)
        if enum_column?(attr)
          :enum
        else
          klass.column_types[attr].type
        end
      end

      def column_type_for_attribute(attr)
        if enum_column?(attr)
          :enum
        else
          klass.columns.find {|c| c.name == attr }.try!(:type) # This line changed
        end
      end

What is the status?

[cies]

I'm also really curious for the status.

[clemensg]

@graysonwright ?

[pablo-co]

Any news?

[J77J]

Soo... What is the state of play for Rails 5? I see a couple of different branches in this thread which I can use for Rails 5, which is the better one to use?

[pablo-co]

@J77J You can use the rails5 branch from this fork. I've been using it on production for over a month without a problem.

The Gemfile declaration would be:
gem "administrate", github: "pablo-co/administrate", branch: "rails5"

It's a temporary workaround while administrate officially supports Rails 5. 👍

[J77J]

Thanks @pablo-co

[preist]

I look forward to Rails 5 support. Thanks a lot for all the work going into making it happen. ❤️

@pablo-co I just installed your fork, and it worked only after I added bourbon to my Gemfile. Might want to add that to your instructions! Thanks for your work!!!

Can we close this since https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/pull/636 has been just merged in ?

[teoljungberg]

With the merge of #636, I'm calling this closed.
