[Update docs] bundler: failed to load command: fastlane (/opt/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.0.0/x64/bin/fastlane) about fastlane-action

[maierj]

Hi guys (@reilem @Warns),
thanks for creating this issue.
I conducted a few tests in the test project that belongs to this action (https://github.com/maierj/fastlane-action-test). I added different Ruby versions to the build matrix (2.5.8, 2.6.6, 2.7.2, 3.0.0) and let the test workflow run for each of them: turns out that only the runs with ruby-version set to 3.0.0 fail (https://github.com/maierj/fastlane-action-test/actions/runs/541194115). I also found out that fastlane is not yet supporting Ruby 3 (fastlane/fastlane#17931).
The proposed ruby-version number in the documentation of this action was not wrong when it was published, since Ruby 3 wasn't available at that time (it was released on 2020-12-25), but it's wrong now, since it chooses the latest Ruby version available (3.0.0) when you specify ">=2.6.0".

I'll change the documentation to recommend the latest Ruby version before 3.0.0, which is 2.7.2. I'll also add a hint that fastlane doesn't support Ruby 3 yet.

@Warns Don't worry, you did not misunderstand anything 😄 You followed the documentation perfectly, unfortunately the documentation is wrong. That is why I made this issue, to notify the maintainer that they need to update their documentation.

@maierj @KevinColemanInc I'm facing the same error as above. Please check my files below.

Are you using ruby 3.0? I haven't started using this yet so I don't know how much advice I can give. sorry

[reilem]

@Warns Specify ruby-version: '2.6.x' in the setup-ruby action. That should solve your problem.

By specifying >= 2.6 in the docs you are allowing ruby to go to whatever version higher than or including 2.6. And I think very recently the update for 3.0.0 happened (I do not use ruby for anything other than CI tools so I could be mistaken). So now lots of users of this action are going to start seeing failed deployments.

[Warns]

Based on the latest note in the readme file I changed the ruby tag, probably misunderstood it. Indeed it passed that step by specifying the version as '2.6'

[reilem]

Awesome thanks! I will also change my setup to use 2.7.2 then. 😄
