This upgrade includes major version jumps for sinatra and capybara, introducing significant breaking changes. The sinatra upgrade from 1.3.6 to 4.2.0 is the most impactful, requiring a migration across multiple major versions with substantial API and dependency changes. capybara's upgrade to 2.0.0 also introduces notable breaking changes to its core API.

Top Breaking Changes:

  • sinatra (1.3.6 → 4.2.0): This is a massive upgrade spanning multiple major versions (2.x, 3.x, 4.x). Key breaking changes include the drop of support for older Ruby versions, removal of Rack 1.x support, and later, Rack 2.x support. The routing engine was replaced with Mustermann in version 2.0. Version 3.0 removed support for multiple template engines like Stylus, Sass, and CoffeeScript. Version 4.0 dropped support for Rack 2 and requires Rack 3. Given the range, a complete application review is necessary.

  • capybara (1.1.4 → 2.0.0): This major version upgrade introduces breaking changes to finder behavior. The first method now raises an ElementNotFound error by default instead of returning nil if no element is found. Additionally, the all method now waits for at least one matching element by default. All previously deprecated methods have been removed.

  • poltergeist (1.0.3 → 1.1.0): This is a minor update and the search results are for a different software package with the same name. No breaking changes were identified for the correct poltergeist gem.

  • thin (1.5.1 → 1.6.0): This is a minor update. No breaking changes were found in the changelogs.

Recommendation: The sinatra upgrade requires a careful, staged migration. Developers should consult the official Sinatra changelogs for versions 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 to address the numerous breaking changes. For capybara, tests relying on the old finder behaviors (first returning nil or all returning an empty array immediately) must be updated.
