Webpacker: Hardcoded rake path, rake not found

[roine]

When I run webpacker:install it crashes with

ruby: No such file or directory -- rake (LoadError)

I do not have rake installed in /bin, it's in /usr/bin. I'm on CentOs.

Why don't you have rake in /bin? Which version of rails are you using?

[roine]

I'm on a vagrant machine, using rails 4.2.7

Please run this: bundle install --binstubs to generate binstubs

[roine]

Thank you @gauravtiwari, this helped!

bundle binstubs rake --path bin
bundle exec rake webpacker:install

Now works!

[gauravtiwari]

Great 👍

[roine]

I've got one last question, why are the bin not in $root$/bin rather than $root$/lib/install/bin?

Moving the bin to $root$/bin would allow me to do bundle binstubs webpacker and I could then avoid to generate all this files that I don't need.

[gauravtiwari]

@roine Because we add those binstubs through installer - webpacker:install and not bundle binstubs (atleast at this point)

[roine]

@gauravtiwari Couldn't webpacker:install access the $root$/bin directory instead.

I'm trying to set things up for a pre existing webpack with elm code base and having to install all this stuff isn't convenient for me.

Also webpacker:install:elm requires to have run webpacker:install before because it requires the bins.

If I could run bundle binstubs webpacker I could then do the rest of the configuration manually.
