EasyPost no method api_key

[embold-tyler]

After updating the gem, a new error prevents the site from starting if the initializer has EasyPost.api_key = and returns undefined method 'api_key=' for EasyPost:Module (NoMethodError)

EasyPost changed the way the client object is instantiated, so it no longer takes a global api_key but instead accepts the api_key when creating a new Client object per instructions here: https://github.com/EasyPost/easypost-ruby/blob/86b2575006f6fd3703b370cc00d72c3bb5b9d724/UPGRADE_GUIDE.md?plain=1#L28

@embold-tyler hey, have you fixed it?

[embold-tyler]

[fthobe]

@embold-tyler would you be up for fixing it?

[luna-lightblade]

I have a branch I'm testing with a fix for this here: https://github.com/luna-lightblade/solidus_easypost/commits/easypost-5.0/

The core issue is breaking changes in the underlying easypost 5.0 gem which isn't version pinned as a dependency in this project.

Hey @luna-lightblade
Thank you so much, so basically replacing the underlying library made this work?

We are in the process of fixing a lot of smaller issues around other extensions as well (we just made social_auth work) and are in the process to make solidus a little SEO friendlier. Is there anything you work on in particular apart of easypost and would you care about making a PR for the easypost extension as we did for social and starter frontend bugfixes? The community lives through contributors :)
