Problem with gem usage / installation

[NB WM]

Hi,
I've installed the gem as instructed, confirmed that the command line tool is working correctly with my certificate file, but when I add the usage sample code to a controller I get a couple of errors.

At first, if I use "APN" capitalized I get this error:

"dynamic constant assignment APN = Houston::Client.development ^"

So I changed to lower case "apn".

Then I get this error:

"cannot load such file -- houston"

I found out that the gem was not in Gemfile so I wrote a line with "gem 'houston' ". I also tried forcing the version - "gem 'houston', "~>2.2.3" " but the error persists.
I just use the code as instructed:

class Api::Mobile::PushController < SmileController
  require 'houston'

  def test
    #  use `Houston::Client.development` or `Houston::Client.production`.
    apn = Houston::Client.development
    # Dev.log apn
    apn.certificate = File.read("../../../../apple/PushCertificate.pem")

    token = "4ab587e47b612b7c678e76265443b75f848acde996680b87ed9fc06ac9ccece1"

    notification = Houston::Notification.new(device: token)
    notification.alert = "Hello, World!"

    notification.badge = 1
    notification.sound = "sosumi.aiff"
    notification.category = "INVITE_CATEGORY"
    notification.content_available = true
    notification.custom_data = {foo: "bar"}

    # And... sent! That's all it takes.
    apn.push(notification)

    render :json => {test: "asdasd"}
  end
end

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hey, how did you solved this problem?

Hi.

My code is working like this:

Before the class declaration:

require 'houston'

Then:

  def send_ios_push_notification(title, text, type, param, sent_notification_id)
      apn = Houston::Client.development
      # manter este ficheiro na raiz do projecto
      file = File.join(Rails.root, 'mycity_certificate.pem')

      apn.certificate = File.read(file)

      # Create a notification that alerts a message to the user, plays a sound, and sets the badge on the app
      notification = Houston::Notification.new(device: self.token)
      notification.alert = title

      # Notifications can also change the badge count, have a custom sound, have a category identifier, indicate available Newsstand content, or pass along arbitrary data.
      unviewed_notifications = user.sent_push_notifications.where('viewed = false').count

      notification.badge = unviewed_notifications
      notification.sound = "default"
      notification.category = "REACT_NATIVE"
      notification.content_available = true
      notification.custom_data = { text: text,
                                   type: type,
                                   param: param,
                                   sent_notification_id: sent_notification_id
                                 }

      # And... send!
      apn.push(notification)
  end

Thanks for your response I put require 'houston' before the class declaration but I still get the error "cannot load such file -- houston". Do you any idea why is this happening?

[genarolaunchlabs]

It is working fine in my local machine but when I deployed it to the server it is then I am getting this error.

@genarolaunchlabs can you show your Gemfile and how you add gem houston in it?

[genarolaunchlabs]

here's my Gemfile

`source 'https://rubygems.org'

Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'

gem 'rails', '4.2.6'
gem 'pg', '>= 0.14.1'
gem 'devise', '> 4.1', '>= 4.1.1'
gem 'geocoder'

gem 'unicorn'
gem 'houston'
gem 'awesome_print', '> 1.6', '>= 1.6.1'

gem 'sass-rails', '> 5.0'

group :development, :test do

end

group :development do

I check houston if it is installed by gem list houston
and the result:
`*** LOCAL GEMS ***

houston (2.2.3)`
