Is it possible to require a class in an erb template?
erb, require, ruby-on-rails, templates
Solution
First of all do not require gems or libraries in ERB please. Then CGI is required by Rails itself already.
If you want to prevent Rails 3 from auto-escaping consider using
`<%= data.html_safe %>`
instead.
Problem
I have an erb template in which I need to use: CGI.unescapeHTML(someEscapedHTML) So I need to require 'cgi', however the following fails: ``` <% require 'cgi' %> ``` With the error: can't dup NilClass
