Bundler `latest` has stopped working with older Rubies. We need to specify the Bundler version for the older Rubies to still build.
See rails/rails#54260 for context.

With a pristine (`rails new`) Rails 8.0 app, the `app/assets/config/manifest.js` file is no longer automatically generated. For engines still using sprockets, that is not a huge issue, because they have and add their own manifest files for their assets to the list of precompiled assets. However, scripts like the Solidus bin/sandbox script[1] first run `rails new`, then add the needed engines to the sandbox's `Gemfile`, then run `rails db:migrate` and their respective install generators. With Rails 8, these scripts now fail before anything is possible in Ruby, because the initializer of `Sprockets::Railtie` will raise an error on startup. This commit changes the behavior of the Railtie to issue a deprecation warning instead of raising an Exception. [1] https://github.com/solidusio/solidus/blob/main/bin/sandbox#L44-L99

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks. This will help every Rails 8 app to even boot when a gem depends on sprockets-rails. Please merge this 🙏🏻

Due to a bug in sprockets-rails[1] we need to manually add the sprockets manifest into the generated rails app before running any rails commands inside the rails app folder. [1](rails/sprockets-rails#546)

This needs be done before we are able to run any rails commands in the rails apps folder. See rails/sprockets-rails#546

@rafaelfranca sorry for the ping, but someone please needs to merge this as this breaks all Rails apps still using sprockets. Try this |

Just ran into this problem again when creating a new rails app with Solidus If anyone has time to take another look at at this PR, I think it will save other folks confusion as time goes on. 🙏 |

Until the PR linked below is merged, we need to instruct people to create the manifest.js file so that the generator doesn't error. rails/sprockets-rails#546
