It has an unfortunate name though. It should really be called activate_gem or something similar. require_gem only actually require's the library if it uses autorequire, which is deprecated now. require_gem is to select things like a given version of a gem, ie: require_gem 'some_gem', '>= 1.0' you still have to do the require 'some_gem' line > Michael Guterl wrote: I'm not sure why the > above doesn't work, but check below for a working > version. > > powerbook:~ michaelguterl$ irb > irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' > => true > irb(main):002:0> require 'active_support' > => true > irb(main):003:0> Time.now + 2.days > => Sun Apr 02 16:16:22 EDT 2006 > irb(main):004:0> > > > On 3/31/06, john peter wrote: >> >> i'm using ruby 1.8.2, rubygem 0.8.10, rails 1.0.0 where >> activesupport >> version = 1.2.5 >> >> when i try to run this in RADRail, i get a NoMethodError: >> >> require 'rubygems' >> require_gem "activesupport" >> >> print Time.now + 2.days >> >> the error message is: c:/e312workspace/first/test3.rb:5: undefined >> method >> `days' for 2:Fixnum (NoMethodError) >> >> is there a way to use the numeric/time core_ext in a plain ruby >> app? if >> so, how? >> thanks for any help! >> >> >> --------------------------------- >> New Yahoo!
