Trouble including httparty in ruby on rails

The problem is, if you load a new gem, you have to restart the server even if you are in development.

1)include the httpary in your gemfile

open your gem file then add

 gem 'httparty','YOUR VERSION NUMBER'

2) run bundle install in your command prompt of the app file

3) restart the server

I had this same error. I tried moving the require HTTParty all over, but found, all I needed to do was restart the rails server In the end I did not need to 'require HTTParty' nor 'include' it. It just needed to be loaded into rails.

You don't need to do 'include HTTParty' inside the Controller. Just remove that and it should work. I just tested it and it worked for me. If this doesn't work for you, you should add the gem to your environment.

Usually if you use a gem inside your Rails application, you should add the following to environment.rb:

config.gem "httparty"

The gem will be available in the application now and you don't need to add 'require' inside the Controller. Also, you don't need to require RubyGems inside a Controller.

When you use Rails 3, you need to put the following inside the Gemfile:

gem "httparty"

I hope it works for you. :)
