Anycable Rails Versions Save

RubyConf 2018 special.

tl;dr use anycable CLI instead of generator; use :any_cable subscription adapter for Action Cable to activate AnyCable.

NOTE: this version has been yanked from RubyGems due to the regression bug. Use 0.6.1.

This release requires anycable gem >= 0.6.0. See release notes for anycable 0.6.0.

See also upgrade notes.

Changes

• No more generators.

No need to generate AnyCable runner script since anycable gem ships with the CLI.

Scripts generated by the previous version should work (unless have a non-generated code).

• [Breaking] Added :any_cable subscription adapter for Action Cable.

Use :any_cable adapter for Action Cable to broadcast data to AnyCable.

Action Cable monkey-patches are only loaded in the context of AnyCable CLI. ([@palkan][])

No need to think about require and group for anycable-rails, just add it to Gemfile.

Features

• Added support for request verification based on ActionCable config (disable_forgery_protection, allow_same_origin_as_host and allowed_request_origins)

• Add compatibility checks.

See documentation.

• Add WS server session ID to log tags if present.

Session ID feature is supported by anycable-go >= 0.6.0.

Improvements

• Tagged logging is supported (was ignored previously).

• Added Rails executor/reloader support.

Now code changes are handled by RPC server (in development).

Features

• Refactored logging.

Now we use Rails logger everywhere. That means, for example, that ANYCABLE_DEBUG=1 won't work anymore, set your config.log_level to :debug instead.

• Access logging added (disabled by default).

You can enable Action Cable-like access logs:

# anycable.yml
production:
  access_logs_disabled: false

Now you can find in your logs:

Started "/cable" [Anycable] for  at 2017-10-21 12:32:32 +0300
...
Finished "/cable" [Anycable] for  at 2017-10-21 12:32:35 +0300 (Closed)
