ruby-lsp fails to start after 1.37.0

[bobmaerten]

Hello there. 👋🏻

I have trouble running ruby-lsp from VSCode with a somehow tweaked rubocop config. I'm including Standard base.yml file as and inherited_gem.

Here the start of my .rubocop.yml file:

inherit_gem:
  standard: config/base.yml

require:
  - rubocop-capybara
  - rubocop-factory_bot
  - rubocop-md
  - rubocop-migration
  - rubocop-minitest
  - rubocop-performance
  - rubocop-rails
  - rubocop-rails-accessibility
  - rubocop-rake
  - rubocop-thread_safety

And the error output of ruby-lsp

It seems to be related with changes made by #635 and #636 but I can't pinpoint the source problem. All I can tell is that fixing Standard version to 1.37.0 in my Gemfile fixes the problem ¯\(ツ)/¯

Thanks for this report. We don't provide support for importing standard rules this way, so if you or (or someone else affected) would be able to take point on debugging the root cause and providing a PR, we'd be happy to merge it.
