--- title: This Week in Open Source (August 14, 2023) teaser: Recent thoughtbot open source updates (August 14, 2023). tags: news,open source,this week in open source author: Sara Jackson published_on: 2023-08-18 --- It's been a minute since our [last update](https://thoughtbot.com/blog/this-week-in-open-source-july-21-2023). I like to think of "This Week" as more of a guideline rather than a strict rule. Folks were busy the past few weeks and we saw updates to [Art Vandelay](#art-vandelay), [Administrate](#administrate), [Flightdeck](#flightdeck), [Shoulda Matchers](#shoulda-matchers), [Shoulda](#shoulda), [Shoulda Context](#shoulda-context), thoughtbot's [dotfiles](#dotfiles), thoughtbot's [ESLint Config](#eslint-config), [FormProps](#formprops), and [AWS Database Modules for Terraform](#aws-database-modules-for-terraform). Two of which saw new versions cut. Read on to find out which ones! ## [Art Vandelay](https://github.com/thoughtbot/art_vandelay) [Art Vandelay](https://github.com/thoughtbot/art_vandelay) is an importer/exporter for Rails 6.0 and higher. Steve Polito ([stevepolitodesign](https://github.com/stevepolitodesign)) added a CODEOWNERS file to make it more clear who is responsible for Art Vandelay ([7b26cbd](https://github.com/thoughtbot/art_vandelay/commit/7b26cbdba6ee393e0364aa36f74b56511b5ca6db)). ## [Administrate](https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate) [Administrate](https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate) is a framework for creating flexible, powerful admin dashboards in Rails. Pablo Brasero ([pablobm](https://github.com/pablobm)) fixed a WebDrivers/Chrome version issue ([852b62c](https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/commit/852b62c73080c78fe219704b45b7dff3ba6e2f94)). David ([davqasd](https://github.com/davqasd)) updated database columns repesenting prices to use decimal instead of float ([412dab8](https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/commit/412dab88955ecddb2d2c14458209e424f8135941)). ## [Flightdeck](https://github.com/thoughtbot/flightdeck) [Flightdeck](https://github.com/thoughtbot/flightdeck) provides Terraform modules for rapidly building production-grade Kubernetes clusters following SRE practices. Clarissa Borges ([clarissalimab](https://github.com/clarissalimab)) fixed matchers for Alertmanager routing rules ([f86e48f](https://github.com/thoughtbot/flightdeck/commit/f86e48f50a32c45e4efb871f185a01e3f8bb0941)). ## [Shoulda Matchers](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers) [Shoulda Matchers](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers) provides simple one-liner tests for common Rails functionality. Pedro Paiva ([VSPPedro](https://github.com/VSPPedro)) followed suit with [curl, Rails, and others](https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/47467) and removed years from the copyright statement ([783a905](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers/commit/783a90554053002017510285bc736099b2749c22)). ## [Shoulda](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda) [Shoulda](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda) helps you write more understandable, maintainable Rails-specific tests under Minitest and Test::Unit. Pedro Paiva ([VSPPedro](https://github.com/VSPPedro)) removed years from the copyright statement, in line with the same update to Shoulda Matchers above ([6a19c6d](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda/commit/6a19c6d6f78139d5b6856a27f108df2233c8251b)). ## [Shoulda Context](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-context) [Shoulda Context](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-context) makes it easy to write understandable and maintainable tests under Minitest and Test::Unit within Rails projects or plain Ruby projects. Pedro Paiva ([VSPPedro](https://github.com/VSPPedro)) kept things consistent in the Shoulda world and removed years from the copyright statement ([7e406af](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-context/commit/7e406af8b0c33a92671dc4be0cfeeed7ff568a12)). ## [dotfiles](https://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles) [thoughtbot dotfiles](https://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles) is a set of vim, zsh, git, and tmux configuration files. Stefanni Brasil ([stefannibrasil](https://www.stefannibrasil.me/)) and Mina Slater ([minaslater](https://github.com/minaslater)) added a convenient command to fetch a PR from an upstream remote repo with only the PR number and name of the local branch ([155e855](https://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles/commit/155e85523e56eb56b485e5cc43a04dad67183640)). Example: ``` $ co-upstream-pr 001 test_generator_pr ``` Stefanni and Tyson Gach ([tysongach](https://github.com/tysongach)) removed a git checkout PR alias since the command is now part of GitHub CLI ([00db026](https://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles/commit/00db0269ea23c1ff1fe73134081f820d6a124652)). ## [ESLint Config](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config) thoughtbot [ESLint Config](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config) is a batteries-included sharable ESLint configurations for React, React Native, TypeScript, and Node.js that enforce [thoughtbot’s JavaScript guides](https://github.com/thoughtbot/guides/tree/main/javascript). Stephen Hanson ([stevehanson](https://github.com/stevehanson)) updated the TypeScript peerDependency to allow earlier versions of TS ([dc2845b](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config/commit/dc2845befe65845911050a5900edf1518bd7a265)) and bumped the gem's version to 1.0.1 ([a0ec874](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config/commit/a0ec8740b14ca845fefb12bbae6b97ba43e33a19)). He also allowed using void keyword with promises ([977cdd1](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config/commit/977cdd1ca043f065912be8524c87e26f55290521)) and cut version 1.0.2 ([12fce57](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config/commit/12fce570bd990553c15820ada090c776deac4172)). [dependabot[bot]](https://github.com/apps/dependabot) bumped the versions for word-wrap ([6a080d5](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config/commit/6a080d50e822cf0589134ddd9f577c9ec49fe600)) and semver ([a74d81d](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config/commit/a74d81d87a1d148822122815dfbc5fb520f579b6)). 🎉 Release notes can be found [here](https://github.com/thoughtbot/eslint-config/releases). ## [FormProps](https://github.com/thoughtbot/form_props) [FormProps](https://github.com/thoughtbot/form_props) is a Rails form builder that outputs HTML props instead of tags. Now you can enjoy the power and convenience of Rails helpers in React! Johny Ho ([jho406](https://github.com/jho406)) made some variable name updates that fall in line with the library's focus on React ([68d6fec](https://github.com/thoughtbot/form_props/commit/68d6fec8b1637f7924db6fcd7d5e4886445eb986)) and cut a new version ([449f0a6](https://github.com/thoughtbot/form_props/commit/449f0a600fafd14c34f0afd93043f9fc5e4ac918)). 🎉 ## [AWS Database Modules for Terraform](https://github.com/thoughtbot/terraform-aws-databases) [AWS Database Modules for Terraform](https://github.com/thoughtbot/terraform-aws-databases) provides Terraform modules to provision databases on AWS. Olamide ([OlamideOl1](https://github.com/OlamideOl1)) added a module for creating a Kafka cluster using AWS managed streaming for Kafka service (MSK) ([b7fce4e](https://github.com/thoughtbot/terraform-aws-databases/commit/b7fce4e327b5de6f3a36362b35ae9aee86d22a2e)). He also enabled custom kms encryption for Elasticache and RDS ([a425532](https://github.com/thoughtbot/terraform-aws-databases/commit/a425532c87adc9bfce1eef09e5451c3dee8c0985)). --- ✨Have you considered contributing to open source?
