Rails 6 Webpack and no sprockets

[xkraty]

Hello,

in my app setup I am using only webpacker and rake tolk:setup clearly doesn't work due to the asset pipeline absence, any suggestion on how to make it work with webpacker ?

Thanks
Chris

Hello @xkraty , I do have an app relying only on webpacker and it workds fine.
I think your issue is somewhere else not linked to talk ?

I've just tried tolk:setup and it runs fine on this app (but it's just a shortcut to add some routes and a migration that you can copy from the source code

Hello @thomasdarde,

thanks for your answer, in our setup the old sprockets is disabled since we do rely on webpack for everything, including images.

In the application.rb we have disabled unused frameworks as sprockets.

require "rails"
# Pick the frameworks you want:
require "active_model/railtie"
require "active_job/railtie"
require "active_record/railtie"
# require "active_storage/engine"
require "action_controller/railtie"
require "action_mailer/railtie"
# require "action_mailbox/engine"
# require "action_text/engine"
require "action_view/railtie"
require "action_cable/engine"
# require "sprockets/railtie"
# require "rails/test_unit/railtie"

I'm guessing best solution here is just to re-enable sprockets and let the gem work as it's designed.

Thanks
Chris

I tried it with our rails 6 app which we removed the asset pipeline for, and I'm getting this error after running rake tolk:setup
