This is the Ruby 3 compatibility issue (#159, #160). This will work with Ruby 2.7, for example.

Strangely I'm suddenly encountering the same issue but with DELETE (deleting welcome message) however, it was working just fine a little over a month ago. To my knowledge I've been using the same version of Ruby, Ruby 3, all along. I downgraded to Ruby 2.7 and it worked as promised.
