Everything was working fine, but I ran out of diskspace. So, I restarted my computer, and now the rails server won't start. I've been searching for an hour, and I can't find anything online that seems to solve this.
Hoping some fresh eyes can lead me to the solution
Here is my terminal:
$ rails s

UPDATE 1 I think this is related, but they say they fix the issue by 'deleting one of the files'. What file are they talking about?
UPDATE 2 I tried deleting the webpacker cache like this:
$ ls tmp/cache/webpacker
last-compilation-digest-development
rm tmp/cache/webpacker/last-compilation-digest-development
ran the server again, and still the same output.
To solve, I deleted public/packs/manifest.json, which was empty.
Then tried to start the server and everything ran fine...
