Upgrade Rails 4.2 to Rails 5.0.0.beta2

Hey guys!,

My experience with Rails 5

Install Rails 5

rvm install 2.2.2 (Rails 5 run on ruby 2.2.2)
rvm use 2.2.2

gem install rails -v 5.0.0.beta2

you can try a new application as always

rails new <application>

Exsiting application

I safe two files, routes.rb and assets.rb.

Then copy gem fail generated for rails 5

source 'https://rubygems.org'


# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '>= 5.0.0.beta2', '< 5.1'
# Use sqlite3 as the database for Active Record
gem 'sqlite3'
# Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
# Use CoffeeScript for .coffee assets and views
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.1.0'

# gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby

group :development, :test do
  # Call 'byebug' anywhere in the code to stop execution and get a debugger console
  gem 'byebug'
end

group :development do
  # Access an IRB console on exception pages or by using <%= console %> in views
  gem 'web-console', '~> 3.0'

add you last configuration of Gemfile in bottom file, and you do:

bundle install
