Ruby require directive causes an error

Trying to create a simple flickr application using Ruby on Rails 3.2.3, I faced a problem. First I installed a gem called flickraw

sudo gem install flickraw

Then I tried to use it

require 'rubygems'
require 'flickraw'

class HomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
  end

  def index2
  end

  def index3
  end
end

And I got an error:

LoadError in HomeController#index

cannot load such file -- flickraw

Any suggestions?

Solution

  • You should not require gems from the controller. You should just add flickraw to your Gemfile

    gem "flickraw"
