Error: Cannot locate this method: xxxxxxx . Try 'gem-install pry-doc' to get access..

I have installed pry and pry-doc, but I can't access any documentation. yard gem is also installed, and finally am I using rbenv as Ruby version manager. I can't load or access documentation from other project folders, but I can from location where pry gem is installed which is in my case:

'/home/alan/.rbenv/shims/

My setup is like this:

rbenv 1.0.0-19-g29b4da7
rbenv 1.0.0-19-g29b4da7

And output of 'gem list | grep pry' is bellow:

pry (0.10.3)
pry-doc (0.8.0)

'gem list | grep yard'
yard (0.8.7.6)

Thanks, Alan

What have you tried exactly, and how do the results look?

? puts seems to work okay here even using Ruby 2.3.0, mostly because 0408105 is not in any released version of pry-doc.

require 'pry-doc'
in the pry session worked for me.

More details:
I had this issue as well, after just having done a fresh gem install of pry and pry-doc.

Luckily from this reddit post I tried the solution I mentioned and it worked.

Having an updated pry-doc and calling require 'pry-doc' should just work.
