i have looked through the list of related questions however my problem does not seem to be listed and hence here it is:
Basically I'm trying to use Geokit within the Ruby on Rails environment, im not sure if i installed it properly, I have included it within the environment.rb (and done rake db:install) and i'm now trying to do the following:
require 'active_record'
require 'geokit'
class Store < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_mappable
end
Unforunately, when i try to run this and see if its ok, i get the following error:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:1959:in `method_missing': undefined local variable or method `acts_as_mappable' for #<Class:0x4cd261c> (NameError)
from C:/Users/Erika/Documents/Visual Studio 2008/Projects/StoreLocator/StoreLocator/app/models/store.rb:5
I am running Ruby in Steel for Visual Studio 2008, i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong as all the online tutorials i find tend to be rather old and done apply to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

acts_as_mappable is part of geokit-rails. You need to install the geokit-rails plugin.
script/plugin install git://github.com/andre/geokit-rails.git
To check if the plugin is properly installed, look under the vendor/plugins directory of your Rails app. It should have a geokit-rails sub directory. It it, you'll find all the plugin files, other subdirectories, including the file acts_as_mappable.rb (in vendor\plugins\geokit-rails\lib\geokit-rails).
If everything seems to be properly installed, try adding "require geokit" to the top of the init.rb file in the plugin root folder (vendor\plugins\geokit-rails).
Be sure to restart your app server after making the modifications.
What method are you using to include the geokit library? The plugin? The gem? Is the gem unpacked into vendor? What does your environment.rb look like?
Edit: I meant to leave this as a comment on the question - pardon me.

I'm using Rails 4, and I would like to use the custom configuration functionality as explained here:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#custom-configuration
I created the following YAML file (config\prefs.yml):
development:
password: test
And I added this to my config/application.rb:
module MyApp
class Application < Rails::Application
# ...
config.x.prefs = Rails.application.config_for(:prefs)
end
end
When I go to the rails console, I get this:
> Rails.configuration.x.prefs
=> {}
Why isn't Rails correctly loading the configuration?
I'm guessing the following:
You have the Spring gem bundled in.
Your custom configuration somehow got initialized in the state it is currently in. (i.e. empty)
The config\prefs.yml isn't tracked by Spring, so it doesn't know the environment needs to be reloaded.
If i'm correct, you'll just have to create an initializer with the following code:
Spring.watch "config/prefs.yml"
And, of course, you'll have to reload the console each time the config is changed. I've managed to reproduce and solve your issue with this, so i hope this helps.
I try your code on my machine and working fine i think maybe problem with configuration you did in config/application.rb or you need to reload your rails console with reload command reload!
that my configuration for config/application.rb
require File.expand_path('../boot', __FILE__)
require 'rails/all'
# Require the gems listed in Gemfile, including any gems
# you've limited to :test, :development, or :production.
Bundler.require(*Rails.groups)
module WSApp

# Settings in config/environments/* take precedence over those specified here.
# Application configuration should go into files in config/initializers
# -- all .rb files in that directory are automatically loaded.
# Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone.
# Run "rake -D time" for a list of tasks for finding time zone names. Default is UTC.
# config.time_zone = 'Central Time (US & Canada)'
# The default locale is :en and all translations from config/locales/*.rb,yml are auto loaded.
# config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('my', 'locales', '*.{rb,yml}').to_s]

I have a problem with my rails application. After an Update from Rails 3 to 4.
When I surf through the pages after starting the server in development mode everything is fine.
But after a single code change (even adding a space) every page request shows the following error.
Unable to autoload constant User, expected
/path/to/my/rails-app/app/models/user.rb to define it
The file lives exactly there and defines the class:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
…
I tried many things with config.autoload_paths and config.eager_load_paths in application.rb but with no luck.
Deactivating spring did not help either.
Developing an app and having to restart the server after every single change seems so 90s.

Edit: The error mostly shows up in lib/auth/user_proxy.rb in the following function. Maybe this helps to narrow the range of possible causes.
def self.usertype_allowed?(type)
[ User, TempCustomer ].include? type.classify.safe_constantize rescue false
end
Edit 2: Stringify the class names in Edit 1 helped (thanks #Benjamin Sinclaire). But only leads to the next errors. I could also avoid using classes. But at the following error in app/controllers/concerns/security.rb there is nothing can change?
Unable to autoload constant User, expected
/path/to/my/rails-app/app/models/user.rb to define it
code:
def set_current_user
User.current = current_user
end
with current user saved in the Thread (code from /path/to/my/rails-app/app/models/user.rb
def self.current
Thread.current['current_user']
end
def self.current=(user)
Thread.current['current_user'] = user
end
Just to make it clear again: It works after server restart in development until I change some code somewhere.
1 See if you have any multiple-level class or module declaration done one one line and change them to be declared in several lines.
Instead of
class Parent::Sub::Child
end
Do
module Parent
module Sub
class Child
end
end
end
2 Check your model association definitions, and ensure you are never using constant. Use string instead.
Instead of
belongs_to :manager, class_name: User
Do
belongs_to :manager, class_name: 'User'
3 Just saw your edit. Can you refactor like this?
# I assume `type` is a string or such, so we can compare classes
# names instead of constants, and get rid of `safe_constantize`
def self.usertype_allowed?(type)
['User', 'TempCustomer'].include? type.classify rescue false
end
4 Not a good idea to serialize an active record object in the Thread storage. Change it to store the user id instead, like this:
def set_current_user
User.current = current_user.id
end
def self.current
Thread.current['current_user_id']
end
def self.current=(user_id)
Thread.current['current_user_id'] = user_id
end
You don't need include app/models/concerns and app/controllers/concerns in your autoload/ eagerload paths as they are included by default in Rails 4: https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3372-put-chubby-models-on-a-diet-with-concerns
Also make sure that your concerns are defined as modules, extend ActiveSupport::Concern and with the appropriate file name
#taggable.rb
module Taggable
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
end
Another cause of your problem might be that some modules/ classes in app/decorators/concerns, lib, lib/shared are using the User class
which is not loaded yet or some of it's dependencies are not loaded so try adding require_relative path_to_user.rb at the top of those files
-----Edit-------
Try adding at the top of lib/auth/user_proxy.rb
require_dependency 'app/models/user'
This way you'll remove any ambiguity in autoloading the User class and you won't mess around with Rails autoloading see more here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/autoloading_and_reloading_constants.html#require-dependency , http://guides.rubyonrails.org/autoloading_and_reloading_constants.html#common-gotchas
Same problem but in an engine w/ namespaces. No issues in production or in development until a code-change / autoload.
The solution was to
checking for double definitions (there were none)
checking if the module nesting strictly follows rails conventions in the filesystem.
I've had myns under myengine/app/myns/subns/obj.rb but myns is being ignored as it is at the root of the app folder, so moving the myns folder into a subfolder myengine/app/lib/myns solved the issue.
Note: the rails error message was very explicit about the module nesting (while still pointing to the wrong .rb file in the filesystem) so look closely at the error. The error was 'Unable to autoload constant subns/obj.rb in .../myns/subns/obj.rb'. Rails suggesting the incorrect file-location (which exists) is misleading in this case.
During a Rails/Ruby Update I found time to look into this and finally found the cause.
The user class had an unloadable in it for years. That caused the problems since Rails 4. Now I removed this and found no issues after that.
When I run Rspec on my models, I get this warning:
[deprecated] I18n.enforce_available_locales will default to true in
the future. If you really want to skip validation of your locale you
can set I18n.enforce_available_locales = false to avoid this message.
I saw a similar question where the solution was to set config.i18n.enforce_available_locales or
I18n.config.enforce_available_locales in my config/application.rb file. I tried both, but I still get the warning.
The test that gives me the deprecation warning does not use any Rails except for ActiveModel. Instead of requiring the default spec_helper, I created my own spec_helper that does not involve any Rails at all. I also tried setting enforce_available_locales in my custom spec_helper, but I got an uninitialized constant error.
How do I get rid of the deprecation warning?
Edit:
Here's the exact code in my config/application.rb from one of my attempts with enforce_available_locales
require File.expand_path('../boot', __FILE__)
# Pick the frameworks you want:
require "active_record/railtie"
require "action_controller/railtie"
require "action_mailer/railtie"
require "sprockets/railtie"
# require "rails/test_unit/railtie"
# Require the gems listed in Gemfile, including any gems
# you've limited to :test, :development, or :production.
Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env)
module Microblog
class Application < Rails::Application
# Settings in config/environments/* take precedence over those specified here.
# Application configuration should go into files in config/initializers
# -- all .rb files in that directory are automatically loaded.
# Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone.
# Run "rake -D time" for a list of tasks for finding time zone names. Default is UTC.
# config.time_zone = 'Central Time (US & Canada)'
# The default locale is :en and all translations from config/locales/*.rb,yml are auto loaded.
# config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('my', 'locales', '*.{rb,yml}').to_s]
# config.i18n.default_locale = :de
I18n.config.enforce_available_locales = true
end
end
There's also a bug reported on i18n in Github regarding this (svenfuchs/i18n#223) and it was said to be fixed in i18n gem version 0.6.9.
So the solution I think is to require '>= 0.6.9' in our Gemfile.
gem 'i18n', '>= 0.6.9'
and do a bundle update.
Then do as below:
config/application.rb
I18n.enforce_available_locales = true
# If you set the default_locale option you should do it after the previous line
# config.i18n.default_locale = :de
Ref: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/13159
Hope it helps :)
What seems to work is adding these lines to my spec_helper:
require 'i18n'
I18n.config.enforce_available_locales = true
Because my tests don't use Rails, the Application class goes untouched, so enforce_available_locales must go in the spec_helper itself. The first line gets rid of the uninitialized constant error.
using devise 2.1.0
I had to override the devise registration controller. In the process I had to move my devise views directory to correspond with the new controller. I have this code in my config/applications.rb file
paths.app.views << "app/views/devise"
And it is throwing an error when I try and start my server with rails s:

By reading the last comment of yours, it sound that you want either view_paths= or prepend_view_path.
Those can be set at class level in your controller.
If that isn't what you are looking for, consider reading Override devise registrations controller for information.

# == Fixtures
#
# You can declare fixtures for each example_group like this:
# describe "...." do
# fixtures :table_a, :table_b
#
# Alternatively, if you prefer to declare them only once, you can
# do so right here. Just uncomment the next line and replace the fixture
# names with your fixtures.
#
# config.global_fixtures = :table_a, :table_b
#
# If you declare global fixtures, be aware that they will be declared
# for all of your examples, even those that don't use them.
#
# You can also declare which fixtures to use (for example fixtures for test/fixtures):
#
# config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures/'
#
# == Mock Framework
#
# RSpec uses its own mocking framework by default. If you prefer to
# use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:
#
# config.mock_with :mocha
# config.mock_with :flexmock
# config.mock_with :rr
#
# == Notes
#
# For more information take a look at Spec::Runner::Configuration and Spec::Runner

add specific test-only gems to this group:
group :test do

gem 'capybara'
gem 'database_cleaner'
end
Instead of setting them to be used on development and everywhere else too.
This should work.
P.S: edit the code above to set the gems you'll be using for your test, I just copy/pasted the ones Im using on the project I have currently open as an example.
When you upgraded to Rails 3, did you perhaps do a global find and replace on RAILS_ENV?
Is the first line of test_helper.rb something other than this?
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test"
In the actual environment variables, it should still be RAILS_ENV, not ::Rails.env, so make sure you don't have ENV["Rails.env"] = "test" for that line of code.
Make sure it looks like it used to. Not that I would know from having made this mistake personally... :-)
Not only config files are relevant to setting up rails environment.
Check your lib/tasks/cucumber.rake file and if it doesn't contain it already add one of the following lines to it depending on your rails version (I added it after 'begin' line):
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'cucumber' #for rails2
Rails.env ||= ActiveSupport::StringInquirer.new('cucumber') #for rails3
Notice that if you set environment to development in application.rb directly for example, then your tests will run in development.
Also there's another way to set environment to cucumber. If you're running rails with Passenger and Apache for example, then it is possible to run cucumber test in cucumber environment by adding "RailsEnv cucumber" line to your virtualhost configuration.
