v2.0.31 Fails on ruby 2.7.x

[tonyjoblin]

PR #280 replaces Gem::Platform#match to Gem::Platform#match_gem? This fixes deprecation warnings but breaks on ruby 2.7.? because match_gem? does not exist there (at least not on 2.7.3).

This causes errors like these:

bin/rails tailwindcss:watch
rails aborted!
NoMethodError: undefined method `match_gem?' for Gem::Platform:Class

Tasks: TOP => tailwindcss:watch

and

when running bin/rails s

ActionView::Template::Error (The asset "tailwind.css" is not present in the asset pipeline.
):
     5:     <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">

     7:     <%= csp_meta_tag %>

Work around

Update your gemfile to fix tailwindcss-rails to version 2.0.30 and run bundle update.

Thanks for reporting, I'll take a look as soon as I can.

So Gem::Platform#match_gem? was introduced in ruby/ruby@4aca77ed / Rubygems v3.2.0 which was released with just before Ruby 3.0 on 2020-12-10.

I think we've got three options

1. drop support for Ruby 2.7 in this gem
   • (which would be different from Rails's support matrix (this is not really an option))
2. set required_rubygems_version to >= 3.2.0 in tailwindcss-rails.gemspec
   • which might break some people's container configurations, but maybe that's OK
3. revert Fix deprecation warnings in 3.5.0 #280 until Rails drops support for Ruby 2.7

@rafaelfranca do you have an opinion between options 2 and 3 above?

[rafaelfranca]

2 is ok for me. Rubygems 3.2 supports 2.7, so people can just upgrade.

v2.0.32 has been released which fixes this.

Indeed, this broke all of my heroku apps that are on the heroku-20 stack...

@gxespino I'm sorry, I don't understand. If 2.0.32 broke something please open a new issue.
