Can't get awesome_print gem to work
awesomeprint, ruby, rubygems
Solution
`gem install` will put the gem code on your computer, but unless the gem's source code files are on your load path, `require` won't be able to find them. `bundle exec` looks at the nearest `Gemfile.lock` and adds the source code for all the gems listed there to your load path. Rails initialization includes getting Bundler to do this for you.
One solution is to add `awesome_print` to your `Gemfile`. However, this will cause your application to have `awesome_print` as a dependency. Alternatively you can manually add the `awesome_print` library to your load path after starting up the Rails console and then requiring it:
$ rails c
> $LOAD_PATH << path/to/awesome_print-x.x.x/lib
> require 'awesome_print'
> ap {foo: {bar: {baz: :qux}}}
If you're using RVM, the path is likely to be something like:
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-x.x.x-pxxx@your_gemset_name/gems/awesome_print-x.x.x/lib
Problem
awesome_print looks like a pretty nice gem, so I wanted to try it out. I went to one of my projects and did: ``` gem install awesome_print ``` and it says one gem installed, documentation installed, etc. Then, while I am in that project, I went to my Rails console to try it out, but when I did a `require "awesome_print"` as their help file says, I get a "cannot load such file". Has anyone got this to work?
