Gettext and Rails?

Rails
1

Hello,

I’m trying to use ruby-gettext 1.1.1 (installed with gem) with rails and
here is all I get :

undefined method `init_gettext’ for ApplicationController:Class

Here is my source :

require ‘gettext/rails’

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
init_gettext “test”
end

As a Nuby, I don’t really know what to do.
Please, Help !

Thx,
Jonathan

I suspect you have other versions of Ruby-GetText-Package
and it’s installed to “site_ruby/1.8” directory.

Did you install another version of Ruby-GetText-Package?

For example, check /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/gettext.
Or Find gettext.rb from Explorer if you use MS Windows.

For example, check /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/gettext.

I checked and here are the results (I’m using GNU/Linux Debian - Stable)
:

test:~# locate gettext.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.1.1/lib/gettext.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.1.1/lib/gettext/rgettext.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.1.1/test/test_sgettext.rb
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gettext.rb
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gettext/rgettext.rb
test:~# diff /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.1.1/lib/gettext.rb
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gettext.rb
test:~#

So it seems I have 2 directories with gettext but the versions are the
same ; the ‘/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.1.1/’ was installed
with ‘gem install gettext’, and for the other one I really don’t know
but diff seems to tell us that it is the same file.

I tried ‘gem uninstall gettext’ and ‘gem install gettext’ back but the
result is the same.

4

Same again :

test:~# diff
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.1.1/lib/gettext/rails.rb
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gettext/rails.rb

Any ideas ?

I tried ‘gem uninstall gettext’ and ‘gem install gettext’ back but the
result is the same.

Did you try to remove the files below ?
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gettext.rb
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gettext/*

If not, try it, please.

How did you check it?

‘locate gettext | grep ruby’ to get paths containing gettext and ruby.

I tried ‘gem uninstall gettext’ and ‘gem install gettext’ back but the
result is the same.

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gettext.rb
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gettext/*

If not, try it, please.

Done, but still doesn’t work.
Is there any way to get the path of a loaded module ? So I could check
which version it is for sure.

Anyway thank’s for your help and concern so far.

Here is something else, I commented the ‘init_gettext’ line and obtained
this :

uninitialized constant Rails

Do you think it is relevant ?

Hmm.

what version of rails do you use ?
Ruby-GetText-Package requires rails-1.0.0 or later.

Show the result of script/about.

$ ruby script/about

And how about to run sample script?

No, I made a copy/paste ; the other gem modules are there too :

gemconfigure.rb i386-linux rubygems rubygems.rb ubygems.rb

Did you re-install ruby-gettext-1.1.1 with gem ?

Yes : ‘gem uninstall gettext’, then ‘gem install gettext’

Is there any way to get the path of a loaded module ? So I could check
which version it is for sure.

$ ruby -v -e ‘p $:’

I meant : a way to get the complete of a module which has been loaded
with require.

I managed to make the sample work so I guess there’s something wrong
with my application.

Thank’s for your time and help. :slight_smile:

I found something interresting : require ‘gettext/rails’ returns false.
However the module appears in $".

Any ideas on how to debug this ? more debug messages of some kind which
would tell exactly why require returns false ?

It seems you(or some other libraries which are required from your
application)
requires “gettext/rails” anywhere before application.rb.
