Webpacker::Manifest::MissingEntryError with a vanilla Rails 6 application - ruby-on-rails

Software versions on a macOS 10.14.6 and 10.15:
$ ruby -v
ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [x86_64-darwin18]
$ rails -v
Rails 6.0.0
$ node -v
v6.14.4
Setup
$ rails new testshop3
$ cd testshop3
$ rails g scaffold Product name price:integer
$ rails db:migrate
$ rails s
This seems to be a very simple and straight forward setup but when I open http://localhost:3000/products I get the error message "Webpacker::Manifest::MissingEntryError in Products#index".
How can I fix this?

I've got a nearly identical problem with node v11.5.0. My first idea was to run either of these:
>bundle exec rake assets:precompile
>rails assets:precompile
Both commands fail using yarn v1.10.1, because the yarn CLI can't find a "webpack" command.

I found a fix for the problem. But unfortunately I changed too many things at the same time so I have a hard time to pin down what the exact solution is. Here's what I did:
upgrade brew
uninstall and install RVM
install ruby 2.6.3
install rails 6.0.0
install nodejs 10.16.3 (after checking https://nodejs.org for the LTS)
After that it worked. Maybe the last step would have fixed the problem in the first place but I have no way of checking that.

Rails cannot load such file -- stringio (LoadError)

My Rails app was working fine and then I decided to try to update it from 4.0 to 4.2 so I could put it on Heroku. The guide I was following said to update RubyGems so I ran this command:
$ gem update --system
Got this warning:
Warning! `PATH` is not properly set up, '/Users/devon/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin'
is not at first place, usually this is caused by shell initialization
files - check them for 'PATH=...' entries, it might also help to re-add
RVM to your dotfiles: 'rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles', to fix temporarily
in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p353'
I ignored the warning and went to the next step in the guide.
I tried to create a gemset:
$ rvm use 2.0.0p353#rails4.0.2_myapp --create
Then I decided to not update because I was scared of breaking my app. So I just tried to push the app to Heroku without updating.
I ran
$ heroku login
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
It failed to push to Heroku because the slug size was too big. I went to fix it and then I started getting this error:
/Users/devon/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/specification.rb:16:in `require': cannot load such file -- stringio (LoadError)
from /Users/devon/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/specification.rb:16:in `<top (required)>'

from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `require'
from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `<compiled>'
TLDR: App was working. Then I ran these commands:
$ gem update --system
$ rvm use 2.0.0p353#rails4.0.2_myapp --create
$ heroku login
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
Now I receive that LoadError error and can't run my app. How can I fix this? I'm assuming something broke when I ran
$ gem update --system
I read this question: no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError), and someone says to check if you have two ruby versions installed so I ran:
$ which -a ruby
/Users/devon/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
but I don't know what to do after or if it even matters since I only ran those above commands after my app was working fine.
Here are my versions if it matters:
$ ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22 revision 43784) [x86_64-darwin12.5.0]
I can't run rails -v because I get the LoadError. But before the error I got this:
$ rails -v
Rails 4.0.2
Before error (I think this updated to a newer version after I ran the update command):
$ gem -v
2.4.8
EDIT
After trying to switch to old version of rubygems:
$ rvm rubygems 2.4.8
I got:

My best guess of what's happening:
The PATH warning that you received is because you updated the local rvm 'gem' command using the system ruby (in /usr/bin);
When you created the gemset, rvm fixed the path, but after this RubyGems from your system ruby is being run using your rvm ruby, and I guess the two versions do not match.
The easiest solution would be to completely remove and reinstall rvm:
$ rm -rf ~/.rvm
Reinstall rvm
Re-run bundle install
To confirm this is indeed the problem before deleting rvm, you can temporarily switch /usr/bin (put this first) and /Users/devon/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin (and this after) in your PATH. At this point, gem -v should still give you 2.4.8, and /Users/devon/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin/gem -v should work fine and give you the newer version of RubyGems.
Alternative solution
Something else (simpler) you could try is to force rvm to reinstall the older version of RubyGems, and then update it again (if required):
rvm rubygems 2.4.8

Rails command Error

Im about to start work on another web application, I change directories to
/rails_projects
and enter
rails new blank
I then get this error
Error: Command not recognized
Usage: rails COMMAND [ARGS]
The common rails commands available for engines are:
generate Generate new code (short-cut alias: "g")
destroy Undo code generated with "generate" (short-cut alias: "d")
All commands can be run with -h for more information.
If you want to run any commands that need to be run in context
of the application, like `rails server` or `rails console`,
you should do it from application's directory (typically test/dummy).
I have reinstalled rails, and still same error, any ideas?
UPDATE:
It actually give me the same error when I type just
rails -h
rails
in cmd
For anyone with a similar error that may land here, this fixed it for me:
rake rails:update:bin
This will generate "new" versions of the binaries. Just say Yes when it inquires you to replace them.
I ran into a similar issue when trying to upgrade a Rails Engine from 3.2 to 4.1.
The culprit was the presence of script/rails which contained:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# This command will automatically be run when you run "rails" with Rails 3 gems installed from the root of your application.
ENGINE_ROOT = File.expand_path('../..', __FILE__)
ENGINE_PATH = File.expand_path('../../lib/my_project/engine', __FILE__)
require 'rails/all'
require 'rails/engine/commands'
The problem line is there at the end: require 'rails/engine/commands. That was not allowing the full Rails CLI to load which omitted the new command. Removing that file solved my problem.
I'm pretty sure this wasn't the cause of your specific problem, but the symptoms were the same as mine and this was the first link in Google for the error message. Just passing along my findings to help anyone else that runs into this same situation.
It looks like the rails command believes it's inside of a rails engine, which is why a different set of commands are available to you. Notice the 'commands available for engines' text. New is not a command available for engines. I'm not sure why rails thinks the directory you're in is an engine, but likely your directory structure is mixed up somehow.
If anyone runs into this error and needs a last resort plan.
I ended up uninstalling rails, rvm, and installing a newer version of ruby and new gemset.
rvm implode
gem uninstall rails -v=4.0.2
gem uninstall railities
install rvm :
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s
rvm get stable
for mac:
brew install libtool libxslt libksba openssl
brew install libyaml
install ruby:
rvm install 2.0.0 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
if you have error
rvm install 2.0.0 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/opt/openssl
install new ruby gems from website. Unpackage it then go to folder and run
ruby setup.rb
gem update --system 2.1.9
install rails (you can choose your version)
gem install rails --version 4.0.2
gem install railties
I did this, and now system is working normal again.
Create another directory and run $ruby -v, check which version is available. Now run rails new app_name. Try once after closing the terminal and restarting.
This happen to me when a require error occurred in a gem (dependency) while loading.

Rails Server Error: Ruby version is 1.8.7, but your Gemfile specified 1.9.3

I entered a existing ruby application, and type:
$ rails s
wanted to start rails server here.
but it said:
Your Ruby version is 1.8.7, but your Gemfile specified 1.9.3
Actually, I had a 1.8.7, but I deleted it. And if I do:
$ ruby -v
it said:
ruby 1.9.3p286 (2012-10-12 revision 37165) [x86_64-darwin11.4.2]
So I don't know how can I fix it. Can you give me a help?
If you are using rvm, run this:
$ rvm use 1.9.3
try using bundler
bundle exec rails s
I had similar problem:
$ bundle install
Your Ruby version is 2.1.0, but your Gemfile specified 1.9.3
but:
$ ruby -v
1.9.3-p484
$ which ruby
/home/malo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p484/bin/ruby
I've found five answers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Also it was open issue on github. However, I've resolved the problem as follows:
Got path to my bundler:
$ which bundle
/home/malo/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p484#global/bin/bundle
Opened it to edit (or just cat it), and saw that it has invalid link to ruby in the first line:
$ cat $(which bundler)|head -n 1
#!/home/malo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/bin/ruby
Then I get the path to current valid ruby, and just replaced that invalid with it:
$ which ruby
/home/malo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p484/bin/ruby
Of course you can also try replace it with the common form:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
This should pick up the currently used ruby version.
I found out the reason I was getting this error was that I was shelling out to a Heroku command line program inside of my configuration files and Heroku Toolbelt comes with it's own version of Ruby.
The two solutions to that problem are to either not shell out to Heroku or use a Bundler.with_clean_env block instead of the backticks to shell out the heroku command.
Please try this:
1. Open your gemfile
2. Specify rails version
3. Run bundle update
4. Run rails server - rails s
Every now and then this happens with me. However I often don't like switching ruby versions here and there. So instead what I do is I just go to the Gemfile and switch the ruby version to the one that I am using. Doing this allows me to fire up my server and keep working on things.
so for instance, right now for the app i'm working on, my Gemfile is at
ruby ENV["CUSTOM_RUBY_VERSION"] || "2.1.6"
and I would just alter it to
ruby ENV["CUSTOM_RUBY_VERSION"] || "1.9.3"

Coda Terminal can't find rails

I've installed rails using rvm and everything works well in the out of the box terminal using zsh. I thought i'd simplify things a bit and bring out Coda's terminal but for some reason when I run
$ rails --version
I get errors saying there are missing dependencies or when using $ rails new new_app Coda terminal tells me that rails isn't installed. running $ gem list and $ gem environment give me the same output in both terminals.
you need to load rvm before using it
load rvm script with
source ~/.rvm/bin/rvm

Cannot find Ruby or Rails in my computer after installing Heroku

I just started to learn Rails from railstutorial.org. After installing Rails I cerated an app, set up git, installed Heroku gem, and uploaded SSH key to heroku.
After that, I turned off my computer and a few hours later I came back to continue with the next steps. First I ran heroku create --stack cedar.
Then,
git push heroku master I get the following error message:
[~ (master)]$ git push heroku master
fatal: 'heroku' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Same thing is happening for commands like rails heroku gem etc.
Also, I cannot find neither Ruby or Rails in my system. When I ran ruby -v I get
The program 'ruby' can be found in the following packages:
* ruby1.8
* ruby1.9.1
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
Is this happening because I am running Ruby 1.9.3p125? Please help.
just type
rvm gemset list
rvm use 1.9.3#(you_gemset) --default
EDIT: i've looked this tutorial, and there he's created gemset: rails3tutorial2ndEd
then just type: rvm use 1.9.3#rails3tutorial2ndEd --default
You probably haven't set ruby 1.9.3 as your default ruby with rvm. You can do this by typing in the command line:
rvm use 1.9.3 --default
This should solve your problem.
