Failed to generate a fresh Rails app following README instruction

[pandabamboo90]

This command doesn't work as I had rails 6 installed on my PC

# README
rails new app_name -m https://www.refinerycms.com/t/4.0.0

Instead we should install rails version 5.1.x and generate new app with the Rails 5 version

gem install rails -v 5.1.7
rails _5.1.7_ new app_name -m https://www.refinerycms.com/t/4.0.0

Thanks for posting this 😄 I'll leave it open for a bit until Rails 6 works as expected

Situation is worsening it seems.
Installation with 5.2.6 does not work due to
refinerycms-authentication-devise (~> 2.0) was resolved to 2.0.0, which depends on actionmailer (>= 5.0.0, < 5.2)

and rails 6.1.4.1 has zeitgeist loading failures
(due to the no-doc situation on that i used git version for cms and auth)

rails 5.1 came out 2017 and was last updated in 2019, so can't really be a start of a new app anymore

For Zeitwerk loading failures can you try this PR #3465 ?

Ok, so i cloned the repo, merged that branch (ruby 3.0.3 rails 6.1.4)
did rails new with the template, which off course fails at bundling
added local repo for cms and pointed auth to github
Then removed bootsnap from Gemfile and config/boot
then it started but did not show any refinery stuff

Docs don't mention about the migration, but i went and did rails install xx migrations and migrated.
Started, but still no refinery stuff visible (routes, pages..). It feels like the config is not complete.

At this point i feel like i am debugging blind, so i am bailing.
I would come back to try once you have a working, tried, system that i can verify.

Thanks @rubydesign - that is helpful 😄
