RAILS NIGHTLIES FLUSH OUT FLAKY TESTS AND SILENT FAILURES

By RepoJournal · Filed 06:00 UTC on June 10, 2026 · About Rails

Three silent data bugs in core Rails methods just got exposed and fixed overnight: TimeZone parsing drops fractional seconds, number formatting crashes on negative values with nil precision, and DelegateClass silently swallows blocks.

The rails-nightly build caught a test ordering issue that exposed deeper problems in the test suite itself [1]. More importantly, three separate bugs across Rails utilities are now patched. TimeZone#strptime was silently dropping sub-second fractions when parsing epoch-seconds formats like "%s.%N" even though the underlying parser returned both the seconds and fraction [2]. The number_to_currency helper had a positive/negative asymmetry: it crashed with TypeError on negative numbers when precision was nil, while positive numbers handled it fine [3]. Meanwhile, ActiveSupport::Delegation.DelegateClass was generating broken delegator methods for any wrapped method that yields implicitly (String#scan, Enumerable#map, etc.) because it wasn't reading block parameters from the original signature [4]. All three are the kind of bugs that ship silently into production because they only surface under specific conditions. The test suite fixes are already merged [5], and rails-html-sanitizer is keeping pace with dependency updates [6].

Action items

→ Pull latest rails/rails if you wrap enumerable methods in DelegateClass - blocks were being silently dropped rails/rails [immediate]
→ Check any code using TimeZone#strptime with fractional seconds format - you may be losing precision rails/rails [plan]
→ Review uses of number_to_currency with precision: nil on negative numbers rails/rails [plan]
