autocomplete_rails's Issues

Rails 5.2

Do yo plan to support rails 5.2?

Wrong file and directory permissions for gem?

After a clean install for Rails 5.1, I cannot use the autocomplete method within my custom controllers. Neither with bin/rails c I am able to find any traces of the AutocompleteRails::Controller:

[1] pry(main)> require 'autocomplete_rails'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- autocomplete_rails
from /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/activesupport-5.1.4/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:292:in `require'
[2] pry(main)> ls AutocompleteRails::Controller
NameError: uninitialized constant AutocompleteRails

However, after changing the gem files for all users to be readable with

# sudo chmod o+r -R -- /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/autocomplete_rails-0.3.0

I can load it successfully within the console:

[1] pry(main)> require 'autocomplete_rails'
=> true
[2] pry(main)> ls AutocompleteRails::Controller
constants: ClassMethods
AutocompleteRails::Controller.methods: included

To be able to use it within my own controllers, I need to require it with an initializer in my config directory, e.g. creating a file config/initializers/autocomplete.rb:

require 'autocomplete_rails'

Now, I am able to use the autocomplete method within my controller.

Is the current gem broken or did I miss something in regard to the installation instructions?
