in the Gemfile this would be a development level concern. what you're intention which stopping development testing against Rails 7 but not stopping releases from using it?

Also, since you're targeting master/main, which release are you on?

[Kallin]

Right now master doesn't seem compatible w/ Rails 7; as I noted in the issue, when you check out the repository but don't specify rails version, it will pick up latest (7.x at present), and tests will fail. I opened this as it threw me for a loop when trying to get started on development w/ this project.

Right now master doesn't seem compatible w/ Rails 7;

why are you targeting master, though? If you're interesting in beginning with development, you should start with branch v0-11-dev (which is known to be failing on Rails 7.1 right now)

when I first came to this project I had no way of knowing that active development wasn't off of master, I simply followed the 'contributing' directions in the README.

Not a problem. Usually that's true. Just not at this precise moment. Thanks for getting involved!

Closing as OP intent is app development, which is happening on v0-11-dev and there's no intention to restrict development to Rails 6.
