cannot require 'firebase' after bundle install gem 'firebase'

[timfong888]

Hi, I have a Gemfile with:
gem 'firebase'

after bundle install, when I type:

require 'firebase'

I get:

irb(main):001:0> require 'firebase'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- firebase

This process works for other gems....am I missing something?

What happens when you run bundle show firebase?

Thanks for now we switched to a different online database and cache.

Did you restart your Rails server?

I'm having the same issue. Here's my output:

bundle install
Using httpclient 2.6.0.1
Using json 1.8.2
Using firebase 0.2.3
Using bundler 1.8.3
Bundle complete! 1 Gemfile dependency, 4 gems now installed.
Use bundle show [gemname] to see where a bundled gem is installed.

bundle show firebase
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/firebase-0.2.3

irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'firebase'
LoadError: no such file to load -- firebase
from (irb):1:in `require'
from (irb):1
from :0
irb(main):002:0>

Can anybody help with this?

I've tried the same with RVM and the latest stable ruby 2.2.0p0 and I still get the error but with more information:

/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:128:in require': cannot load such file -- firebase (LoadError) from /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:128:inrescue in require'
from /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:39:in require' from update_unread_messages.rb:1:in

'

But they are installed correctly:

gem list firebase

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

firebase (0.2.3)

[artem-russkikh]

Loading development environment (Rails 4.2.2)
[1] pry(main)> require 'firebase'
=> false
[2] pry(main)> Firebase::Client
=> Firebase::Client

 → irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'firebase'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Firebase::Client
=> Firebase::Client

It works in local development and test envs, but when i run build in GitLab CI it fails with NameError: uninitialized constant Firebase::Client when app is running specs

Hi!
Having the same behaviour.
Local: Ruby 2.2.2 installed via Rbenv in Ubuntu 14.04

$ gem list firebase

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

firebase (0.2.4)

$ rails c
Loading development environment (Rails 4.2.2)
[1] pry(main)> Firebase::Client
=> Firebase::Client

rails test environment:

rails c -e test
Loading test environment (Rails 4.2.2)
[1] pry(main)> Firebase::Client
=> Firebase::Client

All working locally.

But in GitLab-CI with GitLab-CI-multi-runner:
System-wide ruby 2.2.2 installed in Docker-image based on Ubuntu.14.04, where ci-runner launches all test-jobs.
In each test-job bundler installs all gems into cross-containers shared '/cache' directory, and there is firebase gem too.
form ci-job log:

bundle install --without production development --jobs $(nproc)  --path /cache
...
Using rake 10.4.2
Using i18n 0.7.0
...
Using httpclient 2.6.0.1
Using firebase 0.2.4
Using foreman 0.78.0
...
Bundle complete! 48 Gemfile dependencies, 118 gems now installed.
Gems in the groups production and development were not installed.
Bundled gems are installed into /cache.
gem list firebase

gem list bundler
bundler (1.10.6, 1.10.5)
bundle exec brakeman -z
...

So, gem list firebase shows nothing. And of course it will give NameError: uninitialized constant Firebase::Client in spec test-job

[esergion]

Added bundle show command to test-job script:

...
bundle show firebase
/cache/ruby/2.2.0/gems/firebase-0.2.4
bundle show airbrake
/cache/ruby/2.2.0/gems/airbrake-4.3.0
bundle exec brakeman -z
...

But in test:

      NameError:
        uninitialized constant Firebase::Client

[artem-russkikh]

If i run specs with Guard on my machine there is also appears that error

NameError: uninitialized constant Firebase::Client

[vincentwoo]

@esergion still seeing this problem? Any chance you could help us reproduce with a simpler set of instructions? I'm unaware of firebase-ruby doing anything weird as a gem package, but I didn't set that part up.

[khamroddin]

NameError: uninitialized constant Firebase::Client

I can able to load fiebase gem through console
require firebase
Firebase::Client

I appreciate any answers

[caioabreu2]

Try this:

1. Go to your Gemfile and add: gem 'firebase', '0.2.8'
2. Go to your terminal and run bundle install

Don't forget to use require 'firebase' before call Firebase::Client.

That's it! It works for me.
