Unable to install asciidoctor-pdf

I'm running the latest Ruby version (3.0.0p0) on Windows and the latest asciidoctor (2.0.12) and get the following error message:
C:\Windows\System32>gem install asciidoctor-pdf
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
undefined method `request' for nil:NilClass
Where's my fault. By the way, I don't have a black belt in Ruby etc.
Thank you!

Re: Unable to install asciidoctor-pdf

If you are not able to use Ruby 2.x, you can try the pre-release for now with "gem install --pre asciidoctor-pdf" at your own risk (https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/issues/1870).

Re: Unable to install asciidoctor-pdf

I understand now that this is a compatibility issue. I'll try the pre-release and see what happens. I can still use Ruby 2.x if I get in trouble.
Thank you for your quick help!

Re: Unable to install asciidoctor-pdf

I just want to let you know that I really had to go back to Ruby 2.7.2. I had an issue with a font thas not been found using the pre-release of asciidoctor-pdf.

Please, do not hesitate to share any problem you find. Reporting is as important as writing the code.

Re: Unable to install asciidoctor-pdf

I got the following error message:

C:\Users\xxx\Documents\ms\product_descriptions\DE>asciidoctor-pdf -a pdf-themesdir=../resources/themes -a pdf-theme=pd_docs_de -a pdf-fontsdir=../resources/fonts file.adoc
C:/Users/xxx/Documents/ms/product_descriptions/resources/fonts/notoserif-regular-subset.ttf not found

This is a font in a default theme that is used as fallback. The font is not missing in the system.

If you're using a custom theme, and you want to use the built-in fonts, you should be inheriting from the default theme. I would check your theme and make sure you are using the correct strategy. It should look something like this:

extends: default

font:

catalog:

merge: true

# your custom fonts here

See last example in: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/blob/master/docs/theming-guide.adoc#extending-the-font-catalog

If you don't extend the default theme, then the path to the built-in theme should be prefixed with GEM_FONTS_DIR/. Otherwise, it will look in the wrong location.

Btw, Asciidoctor PDF 2 will support Ruby 3. Asciidoctor 1.5.x cannot support Ruby 3 because the dependencies it is locked to do not support Ruby 3.
