Compatibility error while installing Smashing
Closed this issue · 9 comments
This is a request for support and not a bug (as labelled).
Hi @Qumera , I saw that when you created this issue it had a more detailed description. Did you remove it? If you could include it, I think it would be easier to try to reproduce/debug it, please.
Thanks!
Hi @kinow, I might have removed it by mistake. I am adding the description here.

Thank you.
Thanks @Qumera ! Will try to reproduce it on a Win 10.
Any reason you couldn't use smashing 1.3.0?
It is because the rails version I are using has ruby version 2.3 and Smashing 1.3 requires ruby 2.5
But even if I try to install the latest Smashing version I am still facing this error.

Ah, good point!
But even if I try to install the latest Smashing version I am still facing this error.
Good to know, should make it easier to investigate the problem.
Thanks @Qumera !
Hi @Qumera
Tested with the latest version, on Windows 10 Pro. I installed Ruby with the Linux subsystem, using Ubuntu from Windows store. It took near 1 hour to install everything 👀
Once it was installed, everything worked with no issues.
I installed Ruby 2.7.1 following these instructions with rbenv: https://gorails.com/setup/windows/10
Hope that helps
Hi @Qumera ,
I finally found some spare time to try installing Smashing on Windows. I installed the current gem (1.3.4), on Windows 10 pro, with Ruby 3.0.0 (stable, installed with RubyInstaller). Had to also install NPM, and patch two gems.
Updated installation instructions: https://github.com/Smashing/smashing/wiki/Installation#windows
I'd still recommending using Linux if possible, or WSL on Windows. Windows itself being the last option due to the gems issues with Windows.
Hope that helps!
