Rails 8 Compatibility Issue: wysiwyg-rails depends on railties < 8.0

[lakhan-pasari]

Summary:

Attempting to upgrade a Rails application to Rails 8 fails due to a hard requirement in wysiwyg-rails that restricts railties to < 8.0. Since Rails 8 requires railties = 8.x, the gem is currently incompatible with the latest stable version of Rails.

Steps to Reproduce:

Add the following to your Gemfile:

gem 'rails', '~> 8.0.0'
gem 'wysiwyg-rails'

Run bundle update rails

Observed Behavior:

Bundler fails with a dependency resolution error:

wysiwyg-rails >= x.x.x depends on railties >= 3.2, < 8.0
rails ~> 8.0.0 depends on railties = 8.0.x
=> Version solving has failed.

This makes it impossible to use wysiwyg-rails with any version of Rails 8.

Environment Details:

Rails version: 8.0.2
Ruby version: 3.4.2

Saw the 4.6 release so wanted to chime in that I'm seeing this as well. We're using a fork in order to allow Rails 8 but we're now blocked on Froala updates until this one is addressed.

This should be solved now with v4.6.2 🎉

Thanks for that! They're about to cut a release for Rails 8.1 in the very near future (beta1 release went through CI this morning) so gem.add_dependency "railties", ">= 3.2.7", "< 8.1" will hit out of date on edge very soon.

I left a similar note on #120 (comment) but would love to see the upper bound removed altogether.
