I want to do an API for an Android app. When searching, I found {grape}. I'm following this tutorial, but I have a problem launching the Rails server:
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.0.2 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:80
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Exiting
C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-4.0.2/lib/act
ive_support/dependencies.rb:464:in `load_missing_constant': Unable to autoload c
onstant Usuarios, expected C:/Sites/appCerca/app/api/v1/usuarios.rb to define it
(LoadError)
My directory:
app
..api
....api.rb
....v1
......root.rb
......usuarios.rb
and the files:
#application.rb
module AppCerca
class Application < Rails::Application
config.paths.add "app/api", glob: "**/*.rb"
config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{Rails.root}/app/api/*"]
end
end
#routes.rb
AppCerca::Application.routes.draw do
mount API::Root => '/'
[...]
#app/api/root.rb
module API
class Root < Grape::API
prefix 'api'
mount API::V1::Root
end
end
# app/api/v1/root.rb
module API
module V1
class Root < Grape::API
mount API::V1::Usuarios
end
end
end
# app/api/v1/usuarios.rb
module API
module V1
class Usuarios < Grape::API
version 'v1'
format :json
resource :usuarios do
desc "Return list of authors"
get do
Usuario.all
end
end
end
end
end
Why am I getting this error? I am using Ruby 1.9.3p484 and Rails-4.0.2.
Try either
Moving your API code's files from app/api
to app/api/api
, or
Moving your API classes outside the API
module (i.e. deleting all the module API
lines and their corresponding end
statements).
From Grape's documentation:
Place API files into
app/api
. Rails expects a subdirectory that matches the name of the Ruby module and a file name that matches the name of the class. In our example, the file name location and directory forTwitter::API
should beapp/api/twitter/api.rb
.
Thus the correct location for your API::Root
class would actually be app/api/api/root.rb
.
With this change your code starts and works fine for me on Rails 4.0.2.
