RAILS FIXES STALE JOB ERRORS AND CACHE INSTRUMENTATION

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Rails

Five targeted fixes landed overnight to clean up job enqueueing bugs, cache tracking issues, and form field range support.

The Rails core team merged a batch of precision fixes aimed at jobs, caching, and forms. Most critical: a fix for `perform_all_later` that was leaving stale `enqueue_error` values on successfully re-enqueued jobs [1], creating a silent correctness bug where `successfully_enqueued?` would return true while the job still carried an old error state. Related, `assert_enqueued_email_with` now correctly accounts for `queue_name_prefix` in test assertions [2], so your ActionMailer job tests won't fail mysteriously when you use prefixed queues. On the caching front, `MemoryStore#increment` and `#decrement` now instrument the normalized cache key rather than the raw input [3], fixing observability gaps when you're tracking cache performance. Form builders gained support for endless and beginless ranges in `number_field` and `range_field` [4], expanding what you can express in HTML number inputs without awkward workarounds.
