Uninitialized constant ActsAsFerret (NameError)

Ruby Apps Ferret

Hi all,
I have another problem that I fight with for some time and I could not
understand where is the problem. Probably the problem is that I am quite
“green” in RR :slight_smile:
I am trying to make the Demo Application that comes with Ferret to work
but I guess something with my environment is not OK.
I will do apreciate any help.

[root@moonlight FerretDemo]# ./script/server

=> Call with -d to detach

Dimitar, it appears you added Acts_as_ferret to your environment.rb
file. you shouldn’t need that if you are using the latest version.

The gem/plugin does that kind of magic for you.

get rid of it and see if it works.

Did you actually install the plugin to vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret ?
The demo app doesn’t run out of the box. I used to use svn:externals
for this but since the move to git this step is necessary.

Cheers,
Jens

Hi,
Yes, this was the problem. I have forgotten to install the plugin to
the demo application.
Do appreciate your help.
