Tests for Ruby 2.2+ and suppport for NOT using therubyracer

[Michael Spohn]

Is there anyway to get less-rails to work with mini_racer? We are using other deps that need a higher libv8 version than therubyracer (which is 2 major versions behind) supports, and it seems like a lot of other gems have moved to using mini_racer instead.

Also, the latest version of ruby the tests run look like it's 2.1.4, is there anyway tests (if ruby version is supported) can be added for 2.2+?

Is there anyways we can get less-rails to work without therubyracer

+1, I can't seem to get therubyracer to work on Alpine Linux, so having an alternative would be nice.

As far as I can tell, less-rails doesn't specify therubyracer, you need to add that explicitly to your Gemfile. What happens when you replace it with mini_racer? Is it that less-rails assumes either that gem or the java equivalent?

I've made a branch that includes tests for Ruby 2.2+: https://github.com/brendon/less-rails/tree/fix-sprockets-loading. Can you test that out and see if it works for you?

I have updated CI to use most recent Ruby supported versions.

for alt. JS engine see #136

Has anyone figured out an actual answer to the question of how to avoid using therubyracer?

I'm also on Alpine Linux, which doesn't seem to support therubyracer.

for alt. JS engine see #136

I don't believe #136 contains a solution.
