no such file to load -- mime/message

[galetahub]

In my Gemfile:
gem "ruby-gmail", '0.2.1'
In console:
require 'gmail'
no such file to load -- mime/message
gems/ruby-gmail-0.2.1/lib/gmail/message.rb:1
...

Perhaps you forget to delete line "require 'mime/message'" in message.rb.

same here don't know if mime/message is usefull, but couldn't figure out which lib it belongs too.

Line 33: "lib/mime/message.rb" - this means that the file was once and author forgot to remove it from the require

removed the gemspec require but left a require in the lib? hmm...

+1 Just removing the require 'mime/message' from gmail/message.rb require solves my case.

Tests fail due to the "no such file to load -- mime/message" error. Is version 0.2.0 considered stable or does it fail there as well? I hate to fork just to switch back in a few days.

[xxx]

save_to_file doesn't exist in 0.2.0, so that version is completely unusable to me.

Due to the 0.2.1 codebase not actually being on github, I imported the 0.2.1 code separately into my own fork to fix this problem due to it stopping my show otherwise (I needed a target in my bundler Gemfile.) It's up at http://github.com/xxx/ruby-gmail , but does NOT have the history due to the gem not including it. It's literally just an import of the gem, with the one require removed.

[tinomen]

Do the tests pass? I've merged your code with the 0.2.0 and most the tests fail.

[xxx]

They were failing before I touched the code. I don't think they were updated for 0.2.1. I literally downloaded the gem from rubygems.org, then removed the one require for 'mime/message', and nothing more.

[tinomen]

Thanks @xxx

I got the tests passing though I'm not sure they are very complete. I've merged your 0.2.1 code with the fork @justinperkins has. http://github.com/justinperkins/ruby-gmail.

This issue still seems to exist when using the Gem. It can easily be fixed by installing the "mime" gem.

[browep]

thanks @yorickpeterse , installing the "mime" gem worked for me.

[samdelagarza]

installing the "mime" gem worked for me also.

[bb]

same here: installing gem mime worked - what about fixing the dependencies or pulling this change from one of the forks?

[xxx]

Is the mime gem actually being used directly by ruby-gmail anymore?

[bb]

It is still used, at least in this fork: https://github.com/nu7hatch/gmail which is available as the "gmail" gem (while this here is "ruby-gmail")
This fork seems to be the most advanced but is a bit hidden, because it is not a regular Github fork but a knew project building on the old source.
Personally, I switched to the nu7hatch fork.
The current release of gmail contains a bug which was fixed by the maintainer in the master branch, so make sure to use the master branch or wait for the new release which is scheduled for next week.

Same here - installing mime did it

[Yamaplos]

gem install mime
