fix(gemspec): raise required_ruby_version to 2.7.0 - #4
Merged
Conversation
The graphql gem (>= 2.4.12, our floor) transitively requires Ruby >= 2.7.0, but our gemspec still advertised >= 2.6.0. Dependabot's bundler resolver picks a Ruby version from this constraint and was resolving against 2.6.10, causing every dependency update job to fail with a version solving error. Raised to the true floor dictated by our graphql dependency rather than tightening to match the CI matrix (3.3+), to avoid dropping support for Ruby versions that aren't tested but may still work.

Summary
Dependabot's bundler update jobs (e.g. run 31612293805) have been failing with a version solving error. The
graphqlgem (which we require>= 2.4.12) transitively requires Ruby >= 2.7.0, but our gemspec still advertisedrequired_ruby_version >= 2.6.0. Dependabot's bundler resolver picks a Ruby version to resolve against based on that floor and was landing on Ruby 2.6.10, which is incompatible withgraphql's own requirement — so every dependency update job errored out before it could even propose a PR.Changes
