Bundler does not load Net::HTTP library for Rails app in 1.14.6

[remomueller]

Bundler version 1.14.6 doesn't appear to load Net::HTTP when loading up a Rails app (5.0.1 or 5.0.2) on Ruby (2.4.0 or 2.4.1).

When you downgrade to bundler version 1.14.3 this works without needing to include require 'net/http' for every model. Here's a quick example:

rails c

Loading development environment (Rails 5.0.2)
2.4.1 :001 > Bundler::VERSION
 => "1.14.6" 
2.4.1 :002 > url = URI.parse('https://www.google.com')
 => #<URI::HTTPS https://www.google.com> 
2.4.1 :003 > http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
NameError: uninitialized constant Net::HTTP

  from bin/rails:4:in `<main>'
2.4.1 :004 > exit

gem uninstall bundler

gem install bundler --no-document -v=1.14.3

rails c

Loading development environment (Rails 5.0.2)
2.4.1 :001 > Bundler::VERSION
 => "1.14.3" 
2.4.1 :002 > url = URI.parse('https://www.google.com')
 => #<URI::HTTPS https://www.google.com> 
2.4.1 :003 > http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
 => #<Net::HTTP www.google.com:443 open=false> 
2.4.1 :004 > exit

I also replied to a post with a similar problem over on Stack Overflow.

Is this intended behavior going forward, ie, should you explicitly need to require the net/http library if you are going to reference it, or is this a regression?

Thanks!

This is intentional -- Bundler never intended to require net/http, and it wasn't guaranteed that it would (i.e. by using standalone mode). Please require the libraries that your application is using, and our apologies for the trouble!

OK good to know, thanks for the explanation!
