Faraday conflicts in google_drive and google-api-client

Question

I'd like to be able to use both the google-api-client gem to do service to service authentication and the google_drive api to access spreadsheets. Unfortunately, these gems seem to conflict due to requiring different versions of Faraday in their dependencies. Anyone know how to solve this?

Error if google_drive is required first:

specification.rb:1637:in `raise_if_conflicts': Unable to activate google-api-client-0.4.4, because faraday-0.8.1 conflicts with faraday (~> 0.7.0) (Gem::LoadError)

Error if google/api_client comes first:

specification.rb:1637:in `raise_if_conflicts': Unable to activate oauth2-0.7.1, because faraday-0.7.6 conflicts with faraday (~> 0.8) (Gem::LoadError)

Answer 1

Give me an day or so and I'll update the google-api-client gem to use the more recent version of Faraday.

That said, you shouldn't need a separate gem to use Google Drive, and any gem designed to add syntactic sugar to a discovery based Google API should really be using the official gem as a base.
