Uninitialized constant about email_address HOT 5 CLOSED

If I open rails console on the staging server all is well:

$:~$ RAILS_ENV=staging ./bin/rails c
I, [2018-07-25T16:49:07.934395 #6551]  INFO -- sentry: ** [Raven] Raven 2.7.3 ready to catch errors

Hi,

I'm not sure this is an issue with the gem. Also, your explanation is confusing and seemingly contradictory. Can you clarify or paste a failure case?

Also runs file (fine?) in development.
I can start server with RAILS_ENV set to production or staging just fine.
Only on staging server is this causing an issue.

In rails, you shouldn't have to require the gem in your file, it will load automatically. You would only need to require ruby standard libraries not already loaded by rails, for example:

require 'fileutils'

In your Gemfile, does the "gem 'email_address" occur inside of a "group" block where it won't be loaded for certain environments? Also, does "bundle install" run cleanly?

Is there a startup error or other useful information logged in ./log/staging.log ?

Apologies, a couple of typos haven't helped.

In my gemfile the gem isn't in a block (is available in all environments). Also bundle install runs cleanly.

On my development machine: all works ok.
On staging: EmailAddress not defined (hence me trying require, I'm aware it shouldn't be needed). However, if I open the ruby console on the staging server EmailAddress is available.

Nothing useful in the log, I just see the server constantly restarting when including require. If I don't have the require then on staging I get not defined error.

Haven't seen this issue with other gems. I thought it was a conflict with validates_email_format_of but that's not the case.

I knew something weird was going on! I restarted the server this morning and its fixed everything. Thanks for a great gem 👍
