Cannot run errbit with Ruby 2.7.4

[zedalaye]

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

Seems so.

Step 2: Describe your environment

• Errbit version: upgrading to current HEAD
• OS: Ubuntu 14.04, Ruby in installed using rbenv

Step 3: Describe the problem:

We should maybe put this in the Readme but until the app (Rails 4) is updated the maximum Ruby version is 2.6.x

I run it on 2.6 for a while now. With 2.7 BigDecimal.new was removed and this doesn't work with ActiveRecord 4 (and probably other places in Rails as well)

It may be circomvented by pinning bigdecimal ? https://github.com/ruby/bigdecimal#which-version-should-you-select

I'm open to a PR if it is easy to get Ruby 2.7 running, but ultimately we're going to need a rails upgrade if we want this project to continue. #1413

Having trouble also deploying to Heroku. this project seems nice, but need to update. I'm trying to implement with our production environment so we can monitor multiple projects we have, but seems this is not updated, any plan to updated in the near future? thanks @stefanchrobot @zedalaye

@lrjbrual We have a PR that claims to add Ruby 2.7 support at #1508. I haven't tested it yet, but you are welcome to try it. Let me know how it goes if you do.
