On using the command in terminal inside a rails 5 application
rails c
the error thrown is given bellow. I have no idea what this means in a similar question here that for which the solution was to use spring stop. I have tried that too but no it still gave the same error. it would be great if somebody can point out the mistake here.
Running via Spring preloader in process 6457

I recently had this problem when I updated HomeBrew, I'm also working with rails 5 and found this solution and it worked for me:
ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib
Source: https://gist.github.com/mcshakes/c87e8adda174c73be354094800b9756d
UPDATE
For readline 8 and newer versions, follow the answer given by @Cody Elhard
As a general approach if this error occurred due to updating readline with homebrew
New version can be found by reading the output of brew install readline
My output: readline 8.0.0 is already installed and up-to-date
Old version can be found by load error
My error (Note the 7): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib (LoadError)
ln -s new_version/path/to/readline original_version/path/to/readline
In my case my command was
ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib
I fixed this issue by simply adding this gem gem 'rb-readline' and running bundle.
This is a standard fix to this issue try this.. It should get you going
brew rm -f readline
brew install readline
brew link readline --force
here is a reference link rails console doesn't load due to libreadline
Another issue might be which version of ruby is in your path - double check that as well.
ruby -v
ls -la `which ruby`
then check your PATH
