try to install with gems json, wdm, bundler dosent helps

my shopify theme info is:
`THEME CONFIGURATION
Store domain.myshopify.com
Development Theme ID Not set

TOOLING AND SYSTEM
Shopify CLI 3.53.0
OS linux-amd64
Shell /usr/bin/zsh
Node version v21.5.0
Ruby version 3.0.6
`
also reinstalling npm, nodejs and the shopify cli dosent helps.

Got a similar error while working with the theme app extension.
Found that updated packages in my Arch Linux installation a few days ago, including ruby-json package.
Downgraded ruby-json package from 2.7.1-1 to 2.6.3-1 and got everything working.

[alemNative]

i try to downgrade with yay -S ruby-json=2.6.3-1 but it dosent work. maybe because of an dependency. should cli not work with the new version?

what ever i do it installs at the end 2.7.1-1

[alemNative]

i downgrade it now with the downgrade package. and it works now. hope cli will be soon updated. i can work for now... but doesen´t looks like a final solution.

@alemNative hello can you tell me what version are you using?

I getting same error.

[alemNative]

Same like mkbodanu4. i downgrade ruby-json on archlinux to 2.6.3-1. then it works.

[networkmushokto]

Same like mkbodanu4. i downgrade ruby-json on archlinux to 2.6.3-1. then it works.

hello thanks for fast response,

I also use archlinux but I keep failing to install ruby 2.6.3-1 via rvm. can you show me step to downgrade it?

[alemNative]

yes its anoying. there is a arch package who's name downgrade or something like that. With this you can hold any package down...
check it: https://github.com/archlinux-downgrade/downgrade

[r0skar]

Came here to add that I experience the same issue with 2.7.1-1, but works with 2.6.3-1.

[cypherpower]

Also on arch had the same error and had to revert ruby-json package

[shtanaka]

Also on arch, downgraded ruby-json using downgrade arch package.

DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade 'ruby-json=2.6.3-1'

On arch. Enjoyed running makepgk -si. Thank you guys a lot, you saved a lot of lovely debugging time to me!
