Hi all, sorry if this is not the right channel for this question. I’m starting to implement the whole suite of tools and starting progressive modularization of a codebase, but I’m struggling with an error when trying to use packs gem, which has a dependency with robocop-packs .
Apparently, the error seems to be a missing Base class.
The error message is the following one:

gems/rubocop-packs-0.0.42/lib/rubocop/cop/packwerk_lite/privacy_checker.rb:40:in `<module:PackwerkLite>': uninitialized constant RuboCop::Cop::PackwerkLite::Base (NameError)

Hi Martin! What command are you running that produces this error?

Message originally sent by slack user U72NG7VKI06

Hi! The error is raised when I try to run rails console for example.
Also if I run packs help the error is raised too, when I run bundle binstub packs and run bin/packs help the error is different

4

What about bundle exec rails console or bundle exec packs help?

5

How is the error different after generating and using the binstub?

The error persists when use bundle exec rails console and bundle exec packs help

The other error is:

`gemfile': undefined method `present?' for "/Users/martingerez/workspace/geotecERP/Gemfile":String (NoMethodError)

using bin/packs help

That looks like some error in your Gemfile . Can you try to correct that and see if you still get the same issue?

RuboCop::Cop::Base should come from rubocop, which is required when using rubocop-packs.

10

What happens when you bundle install?

The gems are installed without errors :confused:
Currently the rubocop dependencies are:

Using rubocop 0.85.1
Using rubocop-sorbet 0.6.2
Using rubocop-packs 0.0.42
Using rubocop-ast 0.2.0
Using rubocop-performance 1.6.1
12

Could you enter your Rails console and see if the constant RuboCop::Cop::Base is defined?

Message originally sent by slack user U72NG7VKI06

I was not using rubocop on my project, and was installed as a dependency from rubocop-packs, so apparently the error was that the rubocop version was too old, and that constant didn’t exist

thanks for your time and sorry for my misunderstanding

Oh no worries! I should probably put a >V1 version constraint for rubocop on rubocop-packs
