Why am I getting an error requiring this stone in environment.rb?

Question

I followed the steps here and set the compos_primary_keys gem. When I try to require a stone in environment.rb at the very bottom of the file (after "end") through

require 'composite_primary_keys'

I get this when the server starts

"69125"

Any idea why this is happening?

Try placing it in environment.rb as follows:

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

  config.gem 'composite_primary_keys'

end
