How to use gem from Rails app (gemfile)

[thedanielmay]

Hi, so I've got this library bundling into my app via Gemfile:

gem 'thecity-plaza-ruby', '1.0', :git => 'https://github.com/thecity/thecity-plaza-ruby.git'

I've fired up the rails console to kick the tires, but will get errors e.g.

 $ foreman run rails c
Loading development environment (Rails 4.1.8)
2.1.5 :001 > the_city = TheCity.new 'ebcc', false
NameError: uninitialized constant TheCity
    from (irb):1
    from /Users/daniel/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5@pubweb/gems/railties-4.1.8/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:90:in `start'
    from /Users/daniel/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5@pubweb/gems/railties-4.1.8/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:9:in `start'
    from /Users/daniel/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5@pubweb/gems/railties-4.1.8/lib/rails/commands/commands_tasks.rb:69:in `console'
    from /Users/daniel/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5@pubweb/gems/railties-4.1.8/lib/rails/commands/commands_tasks.rb:40:in `run_command!'
    from /Users/daniel/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5@pubweb/gems/railties-4.1.8/lib/rails/commands.rb:17:in `<top (required)>'
    from bin/rails:4:in `require'

I have successfully queried our instance using this library in standalone fashion, not pulling it into a Rails app and using it.

How do I call the library from Rails app?

You might try adding an initializer to your rails app, and include the module there?
