Dropbox API

Hi, I installed the dropbox gem, and when I want to create a new dropbox session with my key I get this error:

uninitialized constant DropboxController::Dropbox

Is there anything to do if I want to use the dropbox API?

Thanks,

bran

Did you add the gem to your Gemfile?

Yes, I did.

Where does this error come from? Can you post the complete trace message.

From what I can tell DropboxController::Dropbox doesn't exist in the dropbox gem. Can you provide the code where this is referenced or a backtrace showing where this error is occurring.

I try to use this tutorial:

Thank you for the tutorial but that is not what Jatin asked for. We need to see your error message if any of us are to help you better.

HM, the problem resolved, I run again the bundle install and restart the server, now it works...

My error message was: uninitialized constant DropboxController::Dropbox

Thanks for your time

The restart of the webrick-server…I experienced the same situation a couple of times. Sometimes it is enough to add a gem to gemfile and run bundle install and sometimes in addition the server has to be restarted otherwise the “uninitialized” message appears…
