Ruby-net-ldap

Ruby

I’m running ruby 1.8.6 on Windows. I’ve installed the ruby-net-ldap
0.0.4 gem. When I require ‘net/ldap’ I get nothing. All calls to
ruby-net-ldap methods fail. I’ve used this gem successfully in
another project and I
just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong now.

I ran the following tests in the project where it’s failing:

C:> gem list
…
ruby-net-ldap (0.0.4)
…

C:> path
…;c:/RoR/Ruby/bin;…

irb>$:.each {|dir| puts dir }
…
c:/RoR/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.0.2/bin
c:/RoR/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-net-ldap-0.0.4/bin
c:/RoR/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-net-ldap-0.0.4/lib
…

irb> require “net/ldap”
[ ]

So the gem is there, the directory is in the load path, but the
require statement isn’t finding it. I confirmed that c:/RoR/Ruby/lib/
ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-net-ldap-0.0.4/lib/net/ldap.rb exists. The
only differences I can see between the instance that works and this
one is that the former uses ruby 1.8.5 and Rails 1.2 and the latter
uses ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.0.2. I’ve also tried this under Parallels
on my Macbook using Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.0.2 and it fails there
too.

I don’t know what else to check. Can someone enlighten me, please?

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘net/ldap’

perhaps?

I have the same problem from upgrading Ruby 1.8.6, I can’t see why
this is broken. Going to implement OpenID in the mean time. Did you
manage to fix this issue?

It looks like I never followed up after Glen gave me the answer. Adding
require ‘rubygems’
solved the problem. Thanks for your help, Glen. I’m sorry I took so
long to thank you.
