New app fails to boot, `Could not resolve "./application"`

[andyw8]

On a new Rails 7.0.1 app, running bin/dev fails with:

10:46:36 css.1    | $ sass ./app/assets/stylesheets/application.bootstrap.scss ./app/assets/builds/application.css --no-source-map --load-path=node_modules --watch
10:46:36 js.1     | $ node esbuild.config.js --watch

Command use to create: rails new hello_jumpstart -d postgresql -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/excid3/jumpstart/master/template.rb --skip-javascript

Commenting out that line allows the app to boot.

Is there no app/javascript/controllers/application.js file? I thought that was created automatically, but maybe it's not for some reason.

[andyw8]

Update: It's due to the --skip-javascript option (which the README says to include). If I run without that, app/javascript/controllers/application.js is created and the app can boot.

[excid3]

Ah yes. And you know, we should probably be copying the application.js from this repo anyways.

Probably just need to add it around here: https://github.com/excid3/jumpstart/blob/master/template.rb#L123

[excid3]

Want to take a stab at that?

This should be fixed in 5f4a5f8 👍

Beat me to it 😁

Sometimes you just need an easy PR to finish the day off. 😎
