I have a Rails application which was using Mongoid 4.0.2. I upgraded Mongoid to version 5.0.0 and start getting this error
....gems/2.2.0/gems/less-rails-2.7.0/lib/less/rails/railtie.rb:19:in `block in <class:Railtie>': undefined method `register_preprocessor' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
How to fix this issue or is any manual how to upgrade Mongoid to version 5.0.0 ?

Here how I fixed this issue
Removed from Gemfile
gem "less-rails"
From application.rb removed
require "mongo"
In mongoid.yml changed
sessions:
toclients:
Most important thing to look for while upgrading to Mongoid 5 is
mongoid.yml
From:
To:
sessions
toclients
username
(will becomeuser
) andpassword
intooptions
read
mode as shown, if you have any.Bottomline is to check mongoid.yml thoroughly while comparing with this page
It looks like the error has appeared again in less-rails. The error is not related to Mongoid at all. I started getting the error a couple of days ago on my development server. I decided to check Github to see if an issue was reported about this. I found the following issue addressing the error.
https://github.com/metaskills/less-rails/pull/112
I changed my Gemfile to the following as provided on the link which corrected the error.
As of now this solution has not been applied to the gem. I guess it will be soon.
