Hiccup with Rails 7 Generation

The server won’t work out of the box if you run the generate command with npm version < 7.1.

In particular, with < 7.1, you have to add the build commands to the package.json scripts yourself.

See this SO answer for more details.

I had mistakenly generated an app with a npm v6.8 b/c I used n to switch NodeJS versions to debug a student assignment and apparently never switched back.

I sure hope that hasn’t been the cause of other issues I ran into 😅
