railties syntax error in test.rb.tt

[ashleyHutton]

Steps to reproduce

I'm having issues creating a new project in Rails.

rails new my-project

Actual behavior

/Users/Ashley/.rbenv/versions/2.5.0/lib/ruby/2.5.0/erb.rb:885:in `eval': /Users/Ashley/.rbenv/versions/2.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/railties-6.0.1/lib/rails/generators/rails/app/templates/config/environments/test.rb.tt:10: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting end-of-input (SyntaxError)
);  if spring_install?

System configuration

Rails version:

rails -v
Rails 6.0.1

Ruby version:

ruby -v
ruby 2.5.0p0 (2017-12-25 revision 61468) [x86_64-darwin17]

Potentially line 9 of test.rb.tt:
<%-# Spring executes the reloaders when files change. %>

Which was changed in this commit.

I was able to successfully create a new rails project using version 6.0.0.

Hey! Are you able to reproduce the issue with another ruby version? I tried with Ruby 2.6.5 and ruby 2.5.3 but I was not able to reproduce the problem with those version. Maybe it's a bug specific with that ruby version?

This issue only happens in Ruby 2.5.0 due to a backward-incompatible change of ERB. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14243
This was fixed with Ruby 2.5.1. ruby/ruby@887dced

@y-yagi thanks! I'll update my Ruby version.

I'm closing since there doesn't seem to be any action that can be taken besides changing versions.

You can fix it doing this:

Open the file:

~/.rbenv/versions/2.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/railties-6.0.1/lib/rails/generators/rails/app/templates/config/environments/test.rb.tt

And then, go to line 10 and edit like bellow:

From:
10: <%-# Spring executes the reloaders when files change. %>

To:
10: <%-# Spring executes the reloaders when files change. -%>

I had the same issue with Ruby 2.5.0. After upgrading to 2.5.1 the issue disappeared.
