Unable to run rails g react:install

[abitdodgy]

I'm getting the following output when I try to run rails g react:install.

git://github.com/reactjs/react-rails.git (at master) is not yet checked out. Run `bundle install` first.

I had a different issue (I believe related to the coffee-script-source being 1.9.0 but react-rails requiring 1.9.0). I ran bundle update to resolve this, but now I'm running into this error.

It looks like you need to first run bundle install to get react-rails
installed.

@jjulian sorry, I didn't state that I ran bundle install because it seemed obvious, but I did run it, and it completes normally.

Do you get the same error when you run bundle exec rails g react:install?

If you do get the same error, are you willing to post your Gemfile and
Gemfile.lock?

Yes, same result, unfortunately. I have this in my gem file:

gem 'react-rails', '~> 1.0.0.pre', github: 'reactjs/react-rails'

[rmosolgo]

I thought I'd try updating to master, I got this error:

rmosolgo ~/code/check-ins $ bundle update react-rails

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "coffee-script-source":
  In snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
    coffee-script-source (1.9.0)

  In Gemfile:
    react-rails (~> 1.0.0.pre) ruby depends on
      coffee-script-source (= 1.8.0) ruby

Running `bundle update` will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only
the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.

I guess it's for downgrading coffee-script-source in master. It was causing test failures.

I edited Gemfile.lock and manually switched 1.9.0 to 1.8.0.

Then I had success:

rmosolgo ~/code/check-ins $ bundle update react-rails

Your bundle is updated!

Does that work in your case?

@xionon @rmosolgo I'm afraid not. I'm already using 1.8.0 in my Gemlock. Here they are:

@rmosolgo I just removed a bunch of gems and tried again, and the generator still gives me the same error message. Not really sure what's going on. I removed react-source, updated, downgraded coffee-script-source manually to 1.8.0, successfully ran bundle install. But the generator is still busted.

[abitdodgy]

Sorry for spouting off, but I guess the generator is not a big deal. I can create the stuff manually. But it's something to look into.

[rmosolgo]

i'm with ya, that's such a drag :S I'm pretty sure requiring the smaller coffee-script-source version was the right move, but it stinks that it had some unexpected (and untested) side effects :(

@abitdodgy Hi, I spent some time looking into this. I think the issue is with spring. I have no idea if that's our fault, or spring's; I'm not very familiar with spring, and have always generated apps using --skip-spring, and thus haven't noticed this issue before.

I created two brand-new rails 4.2 apps, one with spring, and one without. Only the one with spring showed this behavior.

rails new react-with-spring
rails new react-without-spring --skip-spring
cd react-with-spring
echo "gem 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0'\ngem 'react-rails', github: 'reactjs/react-rails', branch: 'master'" >> Gemfile
rm Gemfile.lock
bundle install
rails g
# error message
cd ../react-without-spring
echo "gem 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0'\ngem 'react-rails', github: 'reactjs/react-rails', branch: 'master'" >> Gemfile
rm Gemfile.lock
bundle install
rails g
# no problem here

Can you try removing spring (both the gem and the binstubs) and see if that solves your problem?

[xionon]

Instructions for removing spring can be found here.

I can confirm that removing spring via these instructions made my empty rails app work again.

[abitdodgy]

@xionon thanks for looking into this. In fact, it's not just the react generator. It seems like all the generators break with the same message, simply by including the rails-react gem.

[kanfet]

rails/spring#383
I have same issue.
Workaround: run with DISABLE_SPRING environment variable, e.g.:

DISABLE_SPRING=true rails g react:install

[nacengineer]

@abitdodgy I think this dependency is creeping in through the use of coffee-rails 4.1.0 I had the same issue

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "coffee-script-source":
  In snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
    coffee-script-source (1.9.0)

  In Gemfile:
    react-rails (~> 1.0.0.pre) ruby depends on
      coffee-script-source (= 1.8.0) ruby

But when I relaxed coffee-rails back to 4.0.1 all was well.

[kirqe]

I can't even bundle with gem 'react-rails', '~> 1.0.0.pre', github: 'reactjs/react-rails'
same error as 1 comment above.
