use net/ldap from my controller

I downloaded net-ldap gem and had no problem to use it from non-rail applications.

But when I require 'net/ldap' from inside a rails controller. Rails complains that it cannot load

LoadError (no such file to load -- net/ldap):   app/controllers/supplier_controller.rb:1

I tried to add the following to my environment.rb: Rails::Initializer.run do |config|   config.gem :net-ldap end

but now rails complains:

C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railties-3.0.1/lib/rails/application.rb:63:in `inherited': You cannot have more than one Rails::Application (RuntimeError)         from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railties-3.0.1/lib/rails/deprecation.rb:7:in `initialize'         from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railties-3.0.1/lib/rails/deprecation.rb:7:in `new'         from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railties-3.0.1/lib/rails/deprecation.rb:7:in `run'

Try adding it on your Gemfile.

Thanks!

1) Added gem 'net-ldap' to Gemfile 2) ran bundle install

and it works now.

You shouldn't be calling it from inside your controllers anyway. That sort of logic goes in a model.

Best,
