v5.0.0.rc1

Bug fixes

• Replace in?, method from ActiveSupport, with include? to prevent exception "undefined method in?" on non-Rails app. (#1405)

Features

• Add support for Rails 6.1. No new Rails 6.1 features are supported, but only
  existing features that broke with the upgrade. (#1418)

• Add comment about no support of validate_uniqueness_of(:item).scoped_to(array). (#1355)
• Improve error message for assossiation_matcher.with_foreign_key option. (#1376)

v4.4.0

Features

• Add an ignoring_check_for_db_index qualifier to the have_secure_token

• Add allow_blank to validate_length_of to match other validation matchers.
  (#725, #1318)

• Add new matcher have_implicit_order_column which can be used to test the
  implicit_order_column setting for ActiveRecord models under Rails 6+.

  the new model-level ActiveStorage macros in Rails 6. (#1102)

Bug fixes

  really long. (#1290)

• Fix have_many so that it is possible to test an association that has a scope
  that takes an argument. (#952, #992)

• Update validate_uniqueness_of to use the public validators_on instead of
  the private _validators when reading validations off of a model. This
  enables shoulda-matchers to be used with the schema_validations gem.
  (#995)

• Update validate_uniqueness_of to work with scopes that are time columns.
  (#1190)

• Fix have_and_belong_to_many so that when using the join_table qualifier
  you can pass a symbol rather than a string. (#1323)

Improvements

• Update have_many when used against a :through association so that it fails
  if the inverse model does not have a belongs_to association. (#646,
  #723, c0a1578)

• Add Ruby 2.7 to test matrix and default development Ruby. (#1310)

• Remove warnings emitted on Ruby 2.7 in word_wrap. (#1314)

v4.1.1

Bug fixes

• Patch some backward-incompatible changes to validate_presence_of that were
  made in the last version. As of 4.1.0 the presence matcher now checks to
  ensure that empty string will cause the record to be invalid (in addition to
  nil, which it was already checking against). However, this check was being
  performed even if the attribute or column the presence matcher is being run
  against didn't support being set to an empty string. This releases fixes this.
  (#1222, #1224, #1231)

v4.1.0

Bug fixes

• Fix validate_uniqueness_of so that it works when a scope is defined as a
  string instead of a symbol on the model. (#1176)
• Fix have_db_index so that it can be used against multiple models that are
  connected to different databases. (#1200)

Features

• Add support for Rails 6. No new Rails 6 features are supported, but only
  existing features that broke with the upgrade. (#1193)
• Add support for expression indexes (Rails 5, Postgres only) to
  have_db_index. (#1211)
• Add allow_nil to the validate_presence_of matcher. (834d8d0, #1100)

Improvements

• Update validate_presence_of so that if it is being used against an
  association which is required: true or optional: false, or it is not
  configured as such but ActiveRecord defaults belong_to associations to
  optional: false, and the matcher fails, the developer is reminded in the
  failure message that the belong_to matcher can be used instead. (#1214,
  8697b01)
• Update define_enum_for so that it produces a more helpful message on
  failure. (#1216)

Fix gemspec so that setup script isn't installed globally when gem is installed.
