I’ve been playing around rspec in my application which also uses AuthLogic’s OpenID. When doing
[code lang="bash"]rake spec [/code] I get the following, very weird error:
[code lang="bash"]
(in /Users/Michael/r/wc)
/Users/Michael/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1964:in method_missing': undefined methodconfig' for #<Class:0x263efdc> (NoMethodError)
from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/authlogic-oid-1.0.3/lib/authlogic_openid/acts_as_authentic.rb:35:in optional_fields='

[/code]
As seen above I’m using version 1.0.3 of the source code. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. What was even stranger was the code was working when running the site. It turns out, config got changed to rw_config, and the gem repository at rubyforge hasn’t been updated to the latest 1.0.4 which includes this change:
Change from using config to the new rw_config. Requires the latest version of authlogic. config was too general of a name and was causing conflicts for people in their own projects.So I changed the acts_as_authentic.rb file so config is named rw_config, and everything worked fine.
I’d love to find a good reference on how rspec loads gems, and why this isn’t an issue when running the site. I’m also interested in knowning how to pull content as a gem from github source (the openid gem isn’t at gems.github.com).
