Hey folks,
I’m scratching my head over this one. My Shopify app built with Ruby on Rails is acting up. I recently made some tweaks to the code and logic, and everything seems fine during deployment. But when I try to access any controller or view, it’s like hitting a brick wall.
The app throws up our custom error page, and the logs are spitting out some weird stuff about TypeError and T.must. It’s mentioning something about a nil being passed where it shouldn’t be.
I’ve tried playing around with different Ruby versions and even messed with Sorbet (removing it, updating it), but no dice. The error keeps popping up, and I’m at a loss for where to look next.
Anyone run into something similar or have any ideas where I should start digging? I’m totally stumped on how to track down this pesky nil that’s causing all the trouble.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I’ve encountered similar issues with Shopify apps before, and it can be pretty frustrating. One thing that’s helped me in the past is to double-check all your environment variables and configuration settings. Sometimes, especially after deployment, these can get out of sync or fail to load properly, leading to unexpected nil values.
Another approach is to implement more detailed logging around the areas where the error occurs. This method can help in pinpointing the exact location where the nil is being introduced. Also, if you’re integrating gems or external services, ensuring they are compatible with your current Ruby and Rails versions can prevent similar issues.
If Sorbet is part of the equation, try escalating the strictness gradually to uncover hidden type issues. This strategy has worked for me in the past when dealing with elusive nil errors.
Hope this provides a worthwhile direction for your troubleshooting.
