Update your gems once in a while

Update your gems once in a while

Story time

I was experiencing an issue with a ruby gem that handles file uploads in administrate. The delete button for it wasn’t working, because it wasn’t using Turbo correctly.

So, I went ahead and opened an issue saying that it is going to be nice if we start using it.

A couple of days later we were discussing at work how I managed to patch it on our side. We were talking about PRs and how I should have opened a PR directly, so they can notice our issue. While talking, I opened the past PRs of the repo out of curiostiy and the first past PR I see is “Adding turbo…”

Hmm, ok. They have turbo but we don’t.

Thats the story of how I learned about the bundle update command.

We haven’t updated our gems for a month and a half…
