I have an inherited project using the creole gem (0.5.0).
In my view this line seems to break but I can't find out anything about it:
<%= WikiCreole.creole_parse(#a.content) %>
The error message is NameError in Knowledgebase_article#view uninitialized constant ActionView::Base::CompiledTemplates::WikiCreole. If this line is removed then the page will render fine.
The problem is I can't seem to find out much about the error anywhere so I was hoping that someone on SO would know where to start.
Please try <%= Creole.creolize(#a.content)%>
Thanks
Just found the answer as to why my specific setup wasn't working, first of all I hadn't installed the WikiCreole gem, so:
gem install WikiCreole
Then, I was missing the require statement from my model:
require 'wiki_creole'

I have installed the time_splitter gem so that I can use a single date_time field. My bundle includes version 1.0.0. As recommended here, I added this code to my class Sheet:
extend TimeSplitter::Accessors
split_accessor :event_time
I am getting an error on the extend:
NameError in SheetsController#new
uninitialized constant Sheet::TimeSplitter
I'm about to give up and hack together a date/time solution but was hoping for something more elegant. Thanks in advance for your help.
You need to restart your server. Happened to me :)
I got this error
NameError in WelcomeController#index
uninitialized constant YouTubeIt
Rails.root: C:/Sites/rails_code/youtube
Btw i checked the gem author github, checked sintax of constant, seems everything's alright, so i can't figure it out.
There is a very similar question here:
Uninitialized constant SO
But in his case, there was a typo, i don't have any typo, i even checked the tutorial like 6 times, but there's no apparent error on my side, here's my controller code:
class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
def index
#cliente = ::YouTubeIt::Client.new(:dev_key => "AI39si4Ao5BFsYIkbzko7b9A_iktB2Pc8DAblJJ_JzJx6IL6Mju1dYYkMKY6TByz8MJPXfm4__tCAt9Is6Mvjg2JM55kuJVVqQ")
#videos = #cliente.videos_by(user: "AlbertoMaso2")
end
end
already installed the youtube_it and declared it's presence in the app by adding it to the Gemfile.
I'm stuck on this one and can't get it to work.
Anyone can shed some light upon this?
Thanks in advance!
When you have changed Gemfile, or added a new gem to it, please, make sure that you have updated Gemfile.lock also. To update lock file just run bundle install command.
Then in order to check usability the gem, you could not run whole rails server, but simply rails console with loaded development environment. Do it as follows:
$ rails c
or
$ rails console
Then inside the IRB, you can try your new gem features, in your case as follows:
irb(main):001:0> require 'youtube_it'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> YouTubeIt
=> YouTubeIt
What happens if you change
#cliente = ::YouTubeIt::Client.new...
to
#cliente = YouTubeIt::Client.new...
Context:
I pulled the most recent code from the repository and tried to make sure that the changes I was about to push up were going to work with that version of the code. This is a Ruby on Rails application. Also worth noting is the fact that when running the main application that I pulled from on the web, this error does not show up. But if I run my branch or the main branch cloned onto my environment, the error always shows up for every url I try. So it is on my end.
Problem:
As soon as I go to localhost:3000, I get the following error:
NoMethodError in HomeController#index
undefined method `-#' for #<ActionDispatch::Response:0x64fd460>
What I've Tried:
I have asked my question on the #rubyonrails IRC channel and nobody was able to determine what was going on through the Full Trace (I haven't posted it here because I wasn't sure what was the best way to do that on here; it didn't look very good in the code block or block quote). I have looked at my HomeController's index method, which is defined as such:
def index
#groups = #current_user.groups
#things = Thing.where(:group_id => #groups.map{|e|e.id})
end
I have also Googled around and haven't found what I need to fix the problem.
What I've Learned So Far:
-# is an operator. Some people may receive a similar error in assuming that Ruby has the shortcut to
variable = variable + 1
that a lot of other languages have:
variable++
Here is an example of that case: Undefined method `+#' for false:FalseClass (NoMethodError) ruby
Question:
Does anyone have any further suggestions on how to find the issue here? Also, if I could easily put the Full Trace on here, formatted in an aesthetically pleasing manner, would someone tell me how? I'm at a loss with this one :(
Update (2/8/2013):
It seems that the issue does not necessarily reside in the HomeController nor home/index.html.erb View. I have attempted to access ANY url with a valid action and the same error occurs with "NoMethodError in..." changing to the corresponding [...]Controller#index.
Update (2/9/2013):
Since this error happens no matter what url I try to navigate to, I decided to look in the routes.rb file in the config folder. I ran my server through rubymine instead of the command line this time, which made it a little easier to read for me. I started looking through all the spit out and I noticed an interested line that consisted of:
["private-key looking thing"] [127.0.0.1] Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-02-09 18:20:52 -0700
It seems like there is a syntactical error in routes.rb (that's my best guess at this point). This does not explain why this only is an issue on my local environment with the same code sets, but what else do I have to go off of?
Does anyone have any suggested things to be on the look out for while I sift through this file? Not really sure what to be looking for as far as errors are concerned. Rubymines inspection stuff converted all my double quotes to single quotes and doesn't really have anything else to complain about.
Thanks in advance,
Jake Smith
I am guessing it might as well be an syntactical error in the corresponding view page Home/index.html.haml .. I am suspecting there is unintended '-' in front of variable call. I tried to simulate a similar scenario in my rails platform and see following page on browser
undefined method `-#' for false:FalseClass
Correct lines of code
%h1 All Movies
= "filtervalue=#{#isFilterOld}"
= "Sortvalue=#{#isSortOld}"
Edited to simulate the error (observe the - in front of isFilterOld variable)
%h1 All Movies
= "filtervalue=#{-#isFilterOld}"
= "Sortvalue=#{#isSortOld}"
I have fixed the issue!
What fixed it:
Go to the directory where your gems are (for me that was C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1)
Delete all gems except for bundler
Make sure you delete the gems from the /cache/, /gems/, and /specifications/ folders (I just deleted them from the /gems/ folder at first and bundle install indicated that it could still find the gems)
Run bundle install
Further Inquiry:
Does anybody have any idea why this worked? I don't know if at this point I can narrow down which gem was causing the issue because the app is working now (I can visit all the urls with corresponding views). If the issue comes up again, I will delete gems one by one to nail down which one was at least causing the issue for me. But if anyone has any insight on this, a more detailed answer would be greatly appreciated by many more people than just me, I think. Thanks to all who helped thus far!
I'm sure this is an easy question but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to Google.
I'm trying to use the library ChunkyPNG.
I added it to my Gemfile and did a bundle install.
bundle list | grep "chunky"
* chunky_png (1.2.5)
So far so good.
I try using it in my controller:
image = ChunkyPNG::Canvas.from_data_url(params[:data]).to_image
(The docs for this method are available here)
It results in the following error:
NameError in MyController#create
uninitialized constant MyController::ChunkyPNG
Why is prepending the controller namespace? I imagine that's what is causing the error.
Otherwise, it means that ChunkyPNG is not install (and it clearly is).
Am I not able to use this gem upfront without writing some sort of rails plugin to wrap around it?
Thanks
EDIT:
Question has been answered, see #apneadiving's comment
In your controller, or somewhere else in the app do:
require 'chunky_png'
I'm in the midst of converting an old Rails2.3 project to 3, and I'm running into this runtime error when I load the first page:
Missing helper file helpers/activesupport.rb
Full stacktrace here
Has anyone else run into this? Looks like something changed in how helpers are loaded, but I don't see any obvious solutions.
I was able to work around the problem by created an empty file at app/helpers/activesupport.rb but I would like to know why this is happening in the first place.
Could it be a clash with ActiveSupport?
I am not sure why its even looking for such a helper - do you have a model or controller called activesupport?
I was having a similar issue with Hpricot. I had a require 'hpricot' statement in a helper, but I didn't have Hpricot in my Gemfile.
In your case, if you were explicitly requiring ActiveSupport somewhere, you would have to add it to your Gemfile (I just tried it and despite having Rails in my Gemfile, I still got the same error you were getting).
