javascript_dir': undefined method source_path' for Webpacker::Configuration:Class (NoMethodError)

[vikash22292]

I am trying to install 'react-rails' with 'webpacker'. I added both this gems in my rails gemfile. Versions for ruby, rails & gems are as follows:-

1. Ruby: 2.4.1
2. Rails: 5.1
3. react-rails gem: 2.2.1
4. webpacker: 3.0.0

I am not able to run "rails generate react:install" command to generate components/ directory for my React components.

I found that there was an issue in "react-rails-2.2.1/lib/generators/react/install_generator.rb" file for javascript_dir method.

Earlier code:-
def javascript_dir
if webpacker?
Webpacker::Configuration.source_path
.join(Webpacker::Configuration.entry_path)
.relative_path_from(::Rails.root)
.to_s
else
'app/assets/javascripts'
end
end

Code to fix:
def javascript_dir
if webpacker?
Webpacker.config.source_path
.join(Webpacker.config.source_entry_path)
.relative_path_from(::Rails.root)
.to_s
else
'app/assets/javascripts'
end
end

The term Webpacker::Configuration is chnaged to Webpacker.config and method name entry_path is changed to source_entry_path.

This work for me..!! Hope this works for you guys!

I believe this issue also reports the same bug: #775

There's a PR open that will fix that and similar issues with the API change if you'd like to help review: #777

The fix you suggested worked for me.

Going to close this issue, as this has been fixed with #777 . Thanks @BookOfGreg, for your great work to pass this on master.

If you guys get any issues, please feel free to re-open this.

This also has to be changed in

component_generator.rb

to
Webpacker.config.source_path

to run

rails g react:component

or you'll get something like

undefined method 'source_path' for Webpacker::Configuration:Class (NoMethodError)

I'm still having this issue and was wondering if the latest merge fixed it or if there is a workaround on my end that I can do before a fix is released, thanks for all the work you do!

I tried the following steps to reproduce but was OK.

rbenv shell 2.4.1
gem install rails
rails new foo --webpack
cd foo
echo "gem 'react-rails', git: 'https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails.git', branch: 'master'" >> Gemfile
bundle
rails g react:install
rails g react:component page name:string

Can you check if it's fixed by installing the master branch?

gem 'react-rails', git: 'https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails.git', branch: 'master'
