`ChatGPT` constant not being recognized

[vbiletskii]

I'm encountering an issue while trying to configure the chatgpt-ruby gem in my Rails 7.2.2 application with Ruby 3.3.5. Despite having correctly installed the gem and attempting to configure it in an initializer (config/initializers/chatgpt.rb), I am getting the following error:

uninitialized constant ChatGPT (NameError)
Did you mean?  Chatgpt

I've tried the following to resolve the issue:

1. Added the require 'chatgpt' in the initializer, but still encounter the error:

   /usr/local/lib/ruby/3.3.0/bundled_gems.rb:75:in `require': cannot load such file -- chatgpt (LoadError)
   Did you mean?  chatgpt/ruby
   

2. Added the following custom inflection in config/application.rb:

   Rails.autoloaders.each do |autoloader|
     autoloader.inflector = Zeitwerk::Inflector.new
     autoloader.inflector.inflect(
       "chatgpt" => "ChatGPT",
     )
   end

3. Ensured the gem is listed in Gemfile and ran bundle install to confirm installation.

4. Verified that chatgpt-ruby is in the Gemfile.lock.

However, the problem persists.

Environment:

• Rails version: 7.2.2
• Ruby version: 3.3.5
• Gem version: chatgpt-ruby (latest)

Expected Behavior:

The ChatGPT constant should be recognized and the gem should be configured properly in the Rails initializer without errors.

Actual Behavior:

The gem fails to load due to an unrecognized constant error.

Hi, I have exactly the same issue with Rails 8.0 and Ruby 3.4.1

Can you update the Gem to 'chatgpt-ruby', '~> 2.1'

Let me know if the issue exists! I'll update.

Hey,

I've just added this gem on my repo and worked well, maybe I can provide some insights.
First, I'd recommend using chat_gpt for the initializer instead of chatgpt.

This would lead to rails expecting a ChatGpt variable, but using the inflector, you can change it.

You should have config/initializers/inflections.rb file existing if I am not mistaken, and you could define

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.acronym "GPT"
end

By doing all this, you should be able to require "chatgpt" and use the ChatGPT casing with chat_gpt files (initializer, but you can also have classes or services files with names having this).
