Upgrade Res

1. apps/rails_application/Gemfile — rails_event_store with range constraint
2. infra/infra.gemspec — aggregate_root and ruby_event_store with pessimistic constraint

Both must allow the target version or be updated first.

Upgrade process

1. Check current and target versions

cd apps/rails_application
bundle outdated | grep -iE "event|aggregate"

2. Check release notes for breaking changes

Visit https://github.com/RailsEventStore/rails_event_store/releases and review all versions between current and target. Pay attention to:

• Removed methods or changed signatures
• New required migrations
• Changed configuration API
• Deprecated features becoming errors

3. Update version constraints if needed

If the target version is outside current constraints:

• Update infra/infra.gemspec — change ~> X.Y for aggregate_root and ruby_event_store
• Update apps/rails_application/Gemfile — change range for rails_event_store

4. Run bundle update

cd apps/rails_application
bundle update rails_event_store ruby_event_store aggregate_root ruby_event_store-active_record ruby_event_store-browser

This updates both the rails_application Gemfile.lock AND infra's resolved versions (infra is a path gem).

5. Check if infra/Gemfile.lock also needs updating

The infra gem has its own Gemfile.lock for isolated testing:

cd infra
bundle update ruby_event_store aggregate_root

6. Run the full test suite

make test

Integration tests are the most important — they exercise the full RES stack including AR persistence, event subscriptions, and process managers.

7. Check for deprecation warnings

Look for deprecation warnings in test output. Address them before they become errors in future versions.

8. Key integration points to verify

If tests pass, these are the areas most likely to break on API changes:

• infra/lib/infra/event_store.rb — EventStore wrapper, mapper pipeline, preserve_types
• infra/lib/infra/event.rb — Event base class extending RubyEventStore::Event
• infra/lib/infra/aggregate_root_repository.rb — AggregateRoot::Repository wrapper
• infra/lib/infra/process_manager.rb — ProcessManager using event_store.read/link
• infra/lib/infra/process.rb — Simple event-to-command process
• apps/rails_application/config/initializers/rails_event_store.rb — RES initialization
• apps/rails_application/lib/configuration.rb — LinkByEventType, LinkByCorrelationId, LinkByCausationId

9. Historical gotchas from past upgrades

• RES 2.0: Required 3 database migrations (timestamp precision, valid_at column, stream restructuring)
• ProcessManager API: Changed from constructor-based subscription to declarative subscribes_to
• Mapper pipeline: Changed multiple times; the project wraps it in Infra::EventStore to isolate changes
• In-memory vs production divergence: Transformations were removed from in-memory stores to prevent test issues
• Class-level state: Was removed in favor of dependency injection; watch for similar patterns

10. Commit

Use the /commit skill. Good message example: "Upgrade RailsEventStore from 2.17.1 to 2.18.0"
