Hi Jon, rails automatically requires a gem loaded by config.gem. how does rails know what to require? That's what you specify with :lib. If you do not specify :lib, rails tries to require the name of the gem.
so, for example requiring the simple-navigation gem: config.gem 'simple-navigation' tries to require 'simple-navigation', which does not work, so you have to specify config.gem 'simple-navigation, :lib => 'simple_navigation' - Andi On Oct 11, 8:07 am, Hunt Jon <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi -- I'm confused what :lib in config.gem(). > > When do I need it to specify? > What should I specify?
