Trouble running httparty in rails 4.0 with ruby 2.0

Question

To include httparty in my rails 4.0.0 app, in my gemfile I wrote:

gem 'httparty'

and then ran bundle install

Next in my application.rb file, I inserted this:

module myApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    ### ---
    config.gem "httparty"
    ### ---
end

Now when I load rails c and do a require "httparty", I get false

What am I doing wrong? How do I load httparty in my rails app?

Answer 1

It's already loaded by Rails. You also don't need the config.gem in application.rb

Try using HTTParty from the console. It should just work.
