  1. POError when utilizing Gibbon gem via delayed_job?
    text
    copied!<p>Without delayed_job, this code works fine; if I include delayed_job, I get an error of <code>uninitialized constant EmailNewsletter::Gibbon</code> with every attempt the worker makes.</p> <p>Rails 3.0.7, <a href="https://github.com/amro/gibbon">Gibbon</a> 0.1.5 (a gem for working with MailChimp), delayed_job 2.1.4.</p> <p><strong>Controller</strong></p> <pre><code>def subscribe email = params[:email] EmailNewsletter.subscribe(email) render(:update) do |page| page &lt;&lt; "...view update code..." end end </code></pre> <p><strong>lib/email_newsletter.rb</strong></p> <pre><code>module EmailNewsletter def self.subscribe(email) g = Gibbon::API.new('api_key_here', :id =&gt; 'list_id_here') g.listSubscribe(:email_address =&gt; email) end end </code></pre> <p>With the above code, if I post an email address to /subscribe, everything works fine. I want to incorporate delayed_job so that my app doesn't feel slow if MailChimp takes a beat too long to respond.</p> <p><strong>Controller</strong></p> <pre><code>def subscribe email = params[:email] EmailNewsletter.delay.subscribe(email) render(:update) do |page| page &lt;&lt; "...view update code..." end end </code></pre> <p>It looks like the job goes into the delayed_job table just fine. The <code>handler</code> data is:</p> <pre><code>--- !ruby/struct:Delayed::PerformableMethod object: !ruby/module EmailNewsletter method_name: :subscribe args: - email@example.com </code></pre> <p>A second later the worker picks it up and runs, and I get an error: <code>uninitialized constant EmailNewsletter::Gibbon</code>.</p> <p><code>application.rb</code> includes <code>config.autoload_paths += %W(#{Rails.root}/lib)</code>.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>For clarification, the line that the error is being thrown on is</p> <p><code>g = Gibbon::API.new('api_key_here', :id =&gt; 'list_id_here')</code></p> <p>I have also tried</p> <p><code>g = ::Gibbon::API.new('api_key_here', :id =&gt; 'list_id_here')</code></p>
