Good morning, this is Rails Daily for January 13th, 2026.

zenspider merged a pull request to bump minitest to version 6. The update adds minitest-mock as a dependency and fixes several test failures that weren't caught in earlier preparation work. The changes span five files across the testing infrastructure.

David Heinemeier Hansson introduced a Rails.app alias for Rails.application. The shorter alias replaces Rails.application.credentials calls throughout the codebase, making console and in-app usage more concise. The commit updates controllers, storage configurations, and documentation across multiple Rails components.

Guillermo Iguaran merged two additional pull requests. The first completed the minitest 6 upgrade. The second, authored by Dino Maric, deprecates the built-in Sneakers adapter for Active Job. The deprecation adds warning messages and test coverage for the adapter that handles RabbitMQ message processing.

Looking ahead: developers should prepare for the minitest 6 upgrade if running custom test suites, and teams using the Sneakers adapter should plan migration strategies before the next major Rails release.

That's your Rails Daily update for today.
