There was an error while trying to load the gem 'ahoy_matey'

Question

I'm not actually a ruby dev, I'm just trying to get development environment setup from a project and I'm having a world of trouble getting the gems in order so I can load up the server. I do mostly front-end work. Anyways, my error is:

There was an error while trying to load the gem 'ahoy_matey'.
Gem Load Error is: undefined method `hours' for 4:Fixnum

I've been searching google for last two days and can't come across anyone experiencing this issue with "ahoy_matey" gem. I get this error when trying to launch the server or rake migrations.

Ruby 1.9.3

Rails 3.2.13

mysql2 0.3.17

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

So I see you're running just rails s. I know this question is old but maybe this might help someone else. So the command you want to be running is:

bundle exec rails s

bundle exec executes a command in the context of the bundle.

This command executes the command, making all gems specified in the Gemfile available to require in Rails.

Essentially, if you would normally have run something like rspec spec/my_spec.rb, and you want to use the gems specified in the Gemfile and installed via bundle install, you should run bundle exec rspec spec/my_spec.rb.

Note that bundle exec does not require that an executable is available on your shell's $PATH.

Answer 2

Looks like you might be requiring your bundle before requiring rails. If you have these two lines in your application.rb file, they need to be in this order:

require 'rails/all'

Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env)
