ActiveResource error with "wrong constant name ENV.xxx"

I'm consuming a REST endpoint using ActiveResource which has Keys called among others ENV.OM_PRODUCER, ENV.UMS_PRODUCER.

These appear to be causing an issue with my view, I'm getting errors such as:

NameError in AppsController#index

wrong constant name ENV.UMSProducer

There is nothing else in the logs to help me, any suggestions.

Update: I was far from clear earlier.

I am not doing anything with the data yet, in my controller I have:

@apps = App.all

and in the view I have: 

<%= @apps.inspect %>

It seems like ActiveResource is interpreting those ENV. keys and its causing an issue. It feels like I need them to be escaped but I don't know how.

Solution

  • Thanks to this post I determined it was due to the full stop in the key rather than the key name. Putting the code suggested in the post into a .rb file in initializers fixed the problem.
