On (PDF) p. 68 the command to create the depot app is given as:

rails new depot --css tailwind

When I run this, I get an exception listed in the output:

And yet, the command ends in ‘Done in 234ms.’ with exit code 0.

The environment:

  • Ruby 3.1.0 installed with asdf
  • Rails 7.0.2
  • asdf 0.9.0
  • yard 0.9.27

So, calling yard from the command line directly works fine. It seems that the yard gem isn’t installed. In fact,

grep -in yar Gemfile

yields nothing and the exit code is 1.

Further observation: Creating a new Rails app without ‘–css tailwind’ doesn’t show this behaviour, i.e. it creates a new app without the exception.

Am I doing it wrong? Should the ‘–css tailwind’ cause ‘yard’ to be included in the Gemfile, but doesn’t?

Any input or help is appreciated.

I haven’t seen this before. Just sharing what I know (which at this point isn’t likely to be helpful):

Thanks for the input! It led me to the right direction.

After uninstalling the yard gem, creating a new Rails app worked fine.

Any any case, I’m not sure what to think of this. Is it a bug … somewhere?

4

Most likely a bug in tailwindcss-rails.

I figured (most of it) out: I had this in my .gemrc:

install: --rdoc --ri --document=yri
update: --rdoc --ri --document=yri

removing the --document=yri parts, also got rid of the exception.
