"stack level too deep" error when installing 2.2.0+

[dmorgan-fa]

What

When first installing the gem on version 2.2.0+, the following stack level too deep error occurs:

$ gem install graphql -v2.2.0

This only happens the first time when installing the 2.2.0+ version, so run gem uninstall graphql first to purge the local install.
It does not happen for v2.1 (i.e. gem install graphql -v2.1.11 is fine)

Versions

• graphql: 2.2.0+
• M1 Mac, Sonoma 14.2.1
• ruby: 3.2.2, 3.3.0
• asdf to install ruby via rbenv/ruby-build (Also present when installed with ruby-install)

Steps to reproduce

1. Remove any existing grapqhl gems: gem uninstall graphql & select all
2. Install any 2.2.0 version: gem install graphql -v 2.2.0

Hey, thanks for reporting this! I had seen it too, but since, as you noted, it worked if you ran it a second time, I ignored it 🙈 I was able to replicate the problem locally with rdoc **/*.rb, and confirm that #4819 will fix it.

I also reported this bug to RDoc: ruby/rdoc#1088
