How do you load awesome_print gem? The rake command and Rails version would also be helpful. There's a check whether ActionView is defined in https://github.com/michaeldv/awesome_print/blob/master/lib/awesome_print.rb, so it must be something rather unusual.

...and no, this is is a new issue, nobody has reported it before.

[grimen]

I'm using it within a Sinatra-app. I noticed it started to appear when I temporarily injected Devise for experimental things - which depends on Rails. But either way it should not break like this, must be something funky with the dependency loading within the gem parts that depend on ActionView. Haven't checked the internals of 'awesome_print' yet so cannot say much about it. I removed ap as dependency now as I'm in middle of stuff (no time to dig deeper), but I think this one should be kept an eye on as a gem should not clash like this with optional dependencies.

[michaeldv]

I think changing:

require File.dirname(FILE) + "/awesome_print/ext/action_view" if defined?(ActionView)

to

require File.dirname(FILE) + "/awesome_print/ext/action_view" if defined?(ActionView::Base)

in awesome_print/lib/awesome_print.rb should fix your issue. Please confirm when you have a chance so I could add it in the next release.

Thanks,
Michael

I am having a similar issue. I tried the fix above but it has not resolved the issue. After adding the required code to my ~/.irbrc I get:

Loading development environment (Rails 3.1.0)
cannot load such file -- awesome_print
1.9.3p0 :001 >

[michaeldv]

Is awesome_print gem part of :development group in your Gemfile and Gemfile.lock?

[esetnik]

No, I was installing the gem directly with rvmsudo gem install awesome_print. When I added it to my gemfile I get the error

Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /Users/*****/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0/gems/awesome_print-1.0.1/CHANGELOG
An error occured while installing awesome_print (1.0.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install awesome_print -v '1.0.1' succeeds before bundling.

[michaeldv]

That's why it doesn't get loaded. Please make sure the gem is installed properly.

[esetnik]

How do I get the gem to install properly? I don't have a permission
issue with any other gems.
