requirejs-rails isn't working with rails >= 5.1 because erubis has been replaced with erubi about requirejs-rails HOT 4 CLOSED

@mdkalish Is erubi backwards compatible?

from requirejs-rails.

I'm not sure if I follow your question, are you asking about backward compatibility throughout all versions? If yes, the answer is no; here are some breaking changes listed in the changelog: 1.5.0, 1.2.0, & 1.1.0.

Having said that, what's your plan? Erubi is a simplified fork of Erubis, do you think they could be easily swapped somehow? The erubi docs sound like it could pan out:

It is not designed with Erubis API compatibility in mind, though most Erubis ERB syntax works, with the following exceptions:

• No support for <%=== for debug output

I'm encountering this issue (Rake.application undefined) too when upgrading to rails 5.2. @mdkalish i'll apply your patch and see if that works. From what it sounds like, this still doesnt fix the entire issue, correct?

from requirejs-rails.

I had to add erubis to Gemfile and also fork requirejs-rails: lonelyplanet@d742e7d. This solved the problem for me.
