migrating from rails 4.2 to 5 issue need to downgrade ActiveRecord version to work with 1 gem

Question

I am trying to migrate from Rails 4.2 to 5 and we have a gem called activerecord-tableless and it is not compatible with ActiveRecord 5.x so is there a way in which I can downgrade ActiveRecord version as it is not a part of Gemfile and is a core Rails dependency. Or I will have to look for a gem that does the same job as tableless and compatible with ActiveRecord 5.x

I would rather not find another gem but any advise on this will be highly appreciated

Answer 1

There seems to be a maintained and improved fork of activerecord-tableless called activerecord-tablefree that supports Rails 5.x and is actively maintained

Hope this helps
