  • Test Driving a Rails API - Part One
    11 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2024
    Let’s get started. I prefer to manage my Ruby installations on my development machine with chruby paired with ruby-install. Another outstanding set of tools is rbenv with ruby-build. I highly recommend installing Ruby with one of those two sets of tools. Follow the instructions on their project’s READMEs. For this article, I’ll be running Ruby (MRI) v3.3.0.

    So, I try to `rvm install 2.6.1` however i run into this compilation issue for which a correct solution hasn't yet been found, only workarounds, the most hopeful one for me seems to be this one where people report downgrading xcode to v13.6 enables Ruby 2.6 to work. However my OS reports that it's incompatible with the earlier xcode 13.6 version, so I'm now stuck. I'm not prepared to downgrade OS to try to workaround this issue due to other potential conflict and compatibility issues.
