Getting: cannot load such file -- active_support/all (LoadError)

[bsschang]

Hello:

I cloned the git repository and then ran './generate.command'. I am getting the following error:

/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/dracula/homebrew-install/cmd/dracula-yaml-json.rb:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- active_support/all (LoadError)
    from /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/dracula/homebrew-install/cmd/dracula-yaml-json.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
    from ./generate.rb:3:in `require'
    from ./generate.rb:3:in `<main>'

I have spent considerable time googling for help, but nothing I have tried is working. It's possible that I have something configured incorrectly on my side, but I'm not sure where to look.

Thank you!

@bsschang It was a problem with brew not having access to the necessary bundled RubyGems, since they aren’t installed by default. I pushed a fix, so please test and report back… Thanks.

Also, be sure the tap is updated:

brew update
brew untap dracula/install --force
brew tap dracula/install
brew install --cask dracula-snippetslab

@danielbayley It worked -- thank you!

If you are willing to share what you fixed, I'd love to learn.

Is it proper etiquette for me to close this issue since you fixed it?

@bsschang Sure, it needed to ensure the bundled RubyGems were installed to be able to access and use methods from Active Support… See https://github.com/dracula/homebrew-install/blob/main/cmd/dracula-yaml-json.rb#L3-L4, along with a few other small fixes… Basically, the generate.command/generate.rb relies on the above command (as with other themes) to generate the actual Dracula.json theme… the failure of which was breaking the install.

Probably… but I already did 😉

@danielbayley Thank you for taking the time to explain (with links!) and help me understand.
