Can't run rspec when using Rails 5 and acts-as-taggable-on 4


Versions

  • Ruby: 2.3.3
  • Bundler: 1.14.6
  • Rails: 5.0.2
  • acts-as-taggable-on: 4.0.0
  • Rspec: 3.5.4

gem 'acts-as-taggable-on', '~> 4.0'

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 3.5'
end

Logic

lib/acts_as_taggable_on/generic_parser.rb

class MyParser < ActsAsTaggableOn::GenericParser
  def parse
    ActsAsTaggableOn::TagList.new.tap do |tag_list|
      tag_list.add @tag_list.split(',').map(&:strip).reject(&:empty?)
    end
  end
end

Exception

When running rpsec, got these errors:

/Users/user/.rbenv/versions/2.3.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/bundler-1.14.6/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:94:in `rescue in block (2 levels) in require': There was an error while trying to load the gem 'acts-as-taggable-on'. (Bundler::GemRequireError)
Gem Load Error is: uninitialized constant ActsAsTaggableOn::GenericParser

How to fix it?


Solution

  • Your file name is incorrect, you have

    lib/acts_as_taggable_on/generic_parser.rb
    

    If the class is MyParser Rails need to map to that class via the name of the file which should be my_parser.rb and thus it should be

    lib/acts_as_taggable_on/my_parser.rb
