I started building Ruby bindings for the Marvel Comics API earlier this month. At the time, there was no gem named marvel
on RubyGems, so I fired up jeweler, created a project, and began making a crude, but useable first release. I tested it by rake install
ing it locally and requiring it in a dummy project that let me play with it in pry
:
require 'marvel'
require 'dotenv'
require 'pry'
Dotenv.load
@client = Marvel::Client.new
@client.configure do |config|
config.api_key = ENV['API_KEY']
config.private_key = ENV['PRIVATE_KEY']
end
binding.pry
When I got to the point where I had exposed several endpoints (at this commit) I attempted releasing it to rubygems.org, but discovered someone by then had released a marvel
gem. I hastily altered my Rakefile and renamed mine to marvel_api
and released it.
I let it sit for a few days before I came back and started experimenting with adding in Faraday middleware to try and clean it up. However, I never seem to have tested whether the name change to marvel_api
worked. Now, whenever I try to require marvel_api
, I'm met with this LoadError:
/Users/Raevynheart/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- marvel_api (LoadError)
from /Users/Raevynheart/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
from test.rb:1:in `<main>'
I'm trying to understand if this is happening because my process for renaming the gem was incorrect, or if this is some separate issue. The gem's source is here: https://github.com/O-I/marvel. Note that the repo name and gem name are different — I don't know if that is an issue. Let me know if there is any other information I need to add to help troubleshoot this. Thanks for any help!
