uninitialized constant ActionView::CompiledTemplates::BlogPost - ruby-on-rails

Question

So I have the following in my blog_posts.rb model:
class BlogPost::Fetch < ActiveRecord::Base
API_URI = "http://blog.url.com/rss.xml".freeze
def class
posts = Rails.cache.fetch(API_URI, expires_in: 10.minutes) do
begin
feed = Feedjira::Feed.fetch_and_parse API_URI
feed.entries.take(2)
rescue
[]
end
end
posts
end
end
The following in my view helper:
module BlogHelper
def fetch_blog_posts(entries)
posts.each do |post|
unless exists? :guid => post.id
create!(
:title => post.title,
:pubDate => post.date
)
end
end
end
end
Then in my view:
<% BlogPost.fetch_blog_posts(2).each do |post| %>
<div class="home-blog-post">
<div class="news-date">
<%= post.display_date %>
With this present I end up with uninitialized constant ActionView::CompiledTemplates::BlogPost.
What am I missing? I feel like it's something simple that I'm just not seeing.
EDIT:
I have tried the following as well:
Added include ActiveRecord::Helpers in my model and changed the view to be BlogPost::Fetch. Same error
Put my helper method into the model and used both BlogPost::Fetch and BlogPost in the view. Same error for both.
Changed my model from inheriting from ActiveRecord::Base to Operator. Same error.
The only time I've gotten a different error is when I changed the model name to blog_post.rb and I get a circular error.
Another Edit:
I've pulled everything from the view helper as it's pointless. I'm not using a controller as it's in the CMS. So my model named fetch.rb now has the following:
class BlogPost::Fetch < ActiveRecord::Base
API_URI = 'http://blog.url.com/rss.xml'.freeze
def call
posts = Rails.cache.fetch(API_URI, expires_in: 10.minutes) do
begin
feed = Feedjira::Feed.fetch_and_parse API_URI
feed.entries.take(2)
rescue
[]
end
end
posts
end
def fetch_blog_posts
#posts = BlogPost::Fetch.run.result
end
end
Then in the view:
<% BlogPost.fetch_blog_posts(2).each do |post| %>
<div class="home-blog-post">
<div class="news-date">
<%= post.display_date %>
</div>
<%= link_to post.title, blog_post_path(post.url_name), class: 'news-title' %>
</div>
Still getting the same error.
So I tried changing my view to be:
<% #posts(2).each do |post| %>
<div class="home-blog-post">
<div class="news-date">
<%= post.display_date %>
</div>
<%= link_to post.title, blog_post_path(post.url_name), class: 'news-title' %>
</div>
In this case I end up with the error of: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting keyword_end '.freeze; #posts(2).each do |post| ^

Took awhile but this worked. I changed the model to be:
class Fetch < ActiveRecord::Base
API_URI = 'http://blog.url.com/rss.xml'.freeze
def self.fetch_blog_posts(posts)
posts = Rails.cache.fetch(API_URI, expires_in: 10.minutes) do
begin
feed = Feedjira::Feed.fetch_and_parse API_URI
feed.entries.take(2)
rescue
[]
end
end
posts
end
end
Then updated the view to:
<% Fetch.fetch_blog_posts(2).each do |post| %>
<div class="home-blog-post">
<div class="news-date">
<%= post.published.strftime("%b %d, %Y") %>
</div>
<%= link_to post.title, post.url, class: 'news-title' %>
