While trying to run the "irb", I ran into this error:

<internal:/usr/lib/ruby/3.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:85:in `require': cannot load such file -- rdoc (LoadError)

from

I tried downgrading the ruby version from 3.0.3 to 2.7, but didn't work; had the same error.

For me, running gem install rdoc did not work,so i added this to the Gemfile: gem "rdoc", require: false, then ran bundle install. That worked.

I was having the same issue on my Alpine system. Rather than using gem (which wouldn't play nice with apk), sudo apk add ruby-rdoc did the trick (note: ruby-rdoc, not ruby-doc).
