I believe that installing a gem using the Heroku interface is just a convenient mechanism for adding it to the app, so you don't have to use Git and Rake (although I could be wrong). Either way, thus far this mechanism hasn't worked for us. The gems show up as installed, along with a directory underneath vendor/gems, but upon closer inspection that directory is actually empty and the gem cannot be loaded.
We've had better luck with adding "config.gem 'foo'" to the environment.rb file, then using "rake gems:unpack GEM=foo" to unpack the gem into the vendor/gems directory. -Mirko On Nov 7, 11:07 pm, swapn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am trying to install fastercsv gem using the heroku interface so it > is not bundled with my app. And as I said, the whole directory is > blank when I try to expand after the install in vendor/gems directory > so no .git directory. > > On Nov 7, 7:59 pm, "Ricardo Chimal, Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > check that there is no .git directory inside the fastercsv directory. > > If there is one there remove it and git add the directory. > > > -- > > Ricardo > > > On Nov 7, 4:42 pm, swapn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I am trying to install fastercsv in vendor/gems and after installing, > > > it says it is installed successfully but the directory is blank and > > > when I run my app, the require statement fails.
