Hiya, I appear to be the maintainer right now. I would personally prefer moving to a traditional (non-docker) rails app, just because I really have no experience with docker.
Fwiw, I was able to get the docker app running on my own computer? Like I said, I don't know enough about docker to guess why.
I definitely don't want to get deeper into maintaining esoteric docker images? Right?
I agree. The Docker dependency does seem klunky, especially if the app is designed to be deployed on Heroku anyways.
This seems like a good "wontfix" issue to me. We can open another issue to track the patches that are required to run this app without the Heroku Docker image.
When setting up my development environment for the first time the
sudo docker-compose build
command fails with the following error:Another developer that I was working with had the same issues.
We seem to be getting this error because the
parser
library isn't compatible with Ruby 2.2.3. However, the Ruby version is hardcoded into theheroku/ruby
image, which is referenced in theDockerfile
.There seems to be two possible solutions to this issue. First, we could just create our own version of the
heroku/ruby
image but make it use Ruby 2.2.5. This would solve the Ruby version issue but I don't know if what we end up generating would work on Heroku. I checked the supported Ruby versions on Heroku today and couldn't definitively answer whether Ruby 2.2.5 is even supported.The next possibility is to force a version of the
parser
library that does support Ruby 2.2.3 (like this one). This may solve our problems in the short term but who knows for how long? At best it's a band-aid.I'll test both solutions myself soon to see what works, but since I'm new to the project I was wondering about the following:
