Ruby 1.8.7 读取线问题

Question

I have to maintain a vintage project with Ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.3. Recently I had to upgrade rbenv and ruby-build. But after that I am having readline issue with my vintage platform.

OS: macOS mojave 10.14.6

When I try to run the server (bundle exec script/server), it's complaining like this:

=> Rails 2.3.18 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
WARNING: using the built-in Timeout class which is known to have issues when used for opening connections. Install the SystemTimer gem if you want to make sure the Redis client will not hang.
You're running a version of ruby with no Readline support
Please `gem install rb-readline` or recompile ruby --with-readline.

I tried with gem install rb-readline but no success and same error.

I also tried with this RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-readline-dir='brew --prefix readline'" rbenv install 1.8.7

But then I got this:

-> https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7.tar.bz2
Installing ruby-1.8.7...

WARNING: ruby-1.8.7 is past its end of life and is now unsupported.
It no longer receives bug fixes or critical security updates.

Any help will be appreciated.

OK got the solution or patch I can say. So I had to comment two gems. pry and pry-doc. It's working perfectly now.
