Save model

Do not use @post.user_id = current_user.id, and use save! instead of save unless check return value of save

class PostsController < ApplicationController
# @post.user_id = current_user.id and 
  def create
    @post = current_user.posts.build(params[:post])
    @post.save!

Workflow advice

When upgrading Rails versions(major or minor), we can encounter lots of unique issues.
I am writing some generic advice on how you want to tackle the update in principle.

• Do a separate step for each major rails versions. For instance, Rails 3 to 5, there can be two steps: 3.x -> 4.2 -> 5.2
• Do not bundle update, which can cause serious problems. Please, only update gems which have dependency errors of rails.

When we update patch(0.0.x)level, it is enough just only to update rails gem.\

Time zones

There are trhee diffrent time zones in rails

• System - The server time zone
• Application - Rails application use own time zone
• Database - Default is UTC, but do not change it

Cautions

• config.time_zone should be set when an app dose not support multiple time zones
• Do not use Date/Time API using system time zone
• Date could be incorrect by being converted from datetime or time to date
