Cannot install ActionText due to missing binstubs

[stevenbuccini]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new Rails app off of rails master using rails new
2. bundle install
3. bin/rails action_text:install as described on the Edge Guides.

Expected behavior

Rails should run the ActionText generator. Note that on master@e53f5ff, I was able to run the generator after overcoming the issue described in #37824.

Actual behavior

$ bin/rails action_text:install
       rails  app:binstub:yarn
rails aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'app:binstub:yarn' (See the list of available tasks with `rails --tasks`)

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

System configuration

Rails version: master@942c41806443

Ruby version: 2.7.1

Thanks for reporting this! git bisect leads to #40143. @jonathanhefner it looks like we might need to use your backup plan.

@eugeneius Do you mind sharing the steps you took to use git bisect to find the commit? I'm having trouble doing it on my own. This will help me report issues more accurately in the future. Thanks!

[eugeneius]

Sure: I generated a new application and changed the Gemfile to use my local checkout of Rails:

gem 'rails', path: '../../lib/rails'

I switched the Rails repository to the commits you mentioned, and verified that running bin/rails action_text:install in the test application worked on the first commit and failed on the second.

Then I used git bisect in the Rails repository, running bin/rails action_text:install in the test application for each commit to check whether it was good or bad.

Let me know if that works for you!

Looks like we found what made me think load "rails/tasks.rb" was necessary when implementing #39137. 🙃

[abhaynikam]

To tackle such issues, I went ahead and wrote some specs for the ActionText generator here #39317. If we could consider or alteast close it(if not required) I'll be happy to see some closure 😊

[jonathanhefner]

@abhaynikam In this case, I don't think #39317 would have helped because it stubs the call to app:binstub:yarn. But I think it would be nice to have more test coverage anyway, so I left a few comments there. 👍
