Identify unused Routes in Ruby on Rails

Rails routes map URLs of a Ruby on Rails application to controller actions. As a project grows, many new routes get added and older ones might become obsolete. Cleanup of unused routes is a good practice to keep the codebase clean and maintainable. This article shows how you can identify unused routes in Ruby on Rails before 7.1 and after 7.1 with built-in tooling.

Working with Legacy Ruby on Rails: spring.gem fork() Crash

Working with legacy Ruby on Rails applications is for most developers a problem, as they have a lot of extra work to do:

• Use older documentation, which matches the legacy project
• can’t use fixes and improvements of programming language
• can’t use improvements and features of up-to-date framework version
• have to use older and mostly unsupported third-party extensions
• are maybe forced to write code, which must be changed for updates and upgrades

First of all, many developers will hit the CPU architecture change from x86/x64 to ARM64 using Apple Macs. Even installing older Ruby versions on a newer OS (operating system) on a x86/x64 architecture is hard. It produces a lot of problems, warnings, and errors.
