Bundler.require not working for ActiveRecord in my jewels

Question

I just created a new gem (using bundler) and want to add Active Record support. Therefore, I added s.add_dependency "activerecord", "~> 3.0"to my gemspec. Then I use Bundler.setup and Bundler.require and thought that I have access to Active Record now, but I don’t have it. I have to use it explicitly require "active_record". Any idea why Bundler.require is not working for me in this case?

Answer 1

First, if you are packing a gem, do not useBundler.require . Bundler.requirefor non gem applications.

• In .gemspecindicate the dependencies of your deployed gem.

• In your Gemfileinclude line gemspecto automatically include the dependencies listed .gemspecin your Gemfile.

  You can also create gem groups for dev and test.

• There are clearly requireany libraries you need in your code .

Today I lost a couple of hours, so I hope this helps.

Secondly, although the ActiveRecord stone is called "activerecord", the lib is called "active_record". This is what you need at Gemfile.

gem 'activerecord', :require => "active_record"

If you have not enabled the option :require, ActiveRecord will not load correctly, and you will not know about it until you try to use it.

Answer 2

Bundler, Gemfile Activerecord

gem 'activerecord', "~> 3.0.0"

bundler, gemspec gemspec Gemfile

gemspec

, , gem, :

lib ->
  active_record ->
    base.rb <- containing some monkey patches to base

, :

Gem Load Error is: uninitialized constant ActiveRecord::Base
Did you mean?  ActiveRecord::Base

lib/active_record/base.rb lib/active_record_base.rb .
