When installing using docker on M1 Mac, when trying to visit http://localhost:4000/admin there is this error in the logs:

Steps to reproduce:

$ git clone [email protected]:spree/spree_starter.git

$ bin/setup

visit http://localhost:4000/admin

Looks like the problem is related to mini_racer gem

Here's how to fix it until there is new version of mini_racer out of prerelease:

In Gemfile change gem 'mini_racer' to gem 'mini_racer', github: 'rubyjs/mini_racer'

Then docker compose run --rm web bash -c 'bundle install'

Then docker compose build web worker

Then bin/start and everything should work fine.

Related to rubyjs/mini_racer#190

You could give mini_racer 0.5.0.pre a try. It seems to have fixed the issue rubyjs/mini_racer#190

gem "mini_racer", "0.5.0.pre"
gem "libv8-node", "16.10.0.0"

We've dropped mini_racer in favour of the native node as we're using https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails now
