Can't install cocoapods-bazel

[Tyler-Keith-Thompson]

When trying to install I receive an error:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
    undefined method `request' for nil:NilClass

    [@failed_dep.dependency, @activated.request.dependency]

AFAIK this tool has been tested mostly with ruby 2.x so maybe there's some work required to support ruby 3.x. Found similar issues online, e.g., this and this.

You could try to downgrade your ruby version to check if that's what is happening here. If that's the case we probably need to see what is required to support ruby 3.x (i.e. what dependencies are broken on the new ruby), PRs are welcomed!

hit this when I was trying to upgrade our internal bundle.

I was having a hard time building ruby 2.x with Xcode 14 and Ventura. so I upgraded Ruby to 3.2.0. The stacktrace is like this

ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError) undefined method request' for nil:NilClass

`
seems like an edge case triggered by some dependency conflict.
going to look closer

This will be resolved by segiddins/starlark_compiler#10

For now we can workaround by gem build then install the main branch of startlark_compiler before installing cocoapods-bazel
