Shoulda-matchers: uninitialized constant Shoulda::Matchers::ActiveRecord

[eirc]

This happens when ActiveRecord is not defined so it's matchers are not required but ActiveSupport::TestCase is defined and tries to include them

I think this is referred to by this https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers/issues/408#issuecomment-40191487 too

:+1: to this, pointing at master to get the Rails 4.1 compatibility fix breaks this for me too as my project only uses ActiveModel, not ActiveRecord.

[mcmire]

Sorry, this is my fault. There's not great testing around this right now. I'll get this fixed shortly.

[aaronmcadam]

@mcmire cool, no worries! let me know if I can help test

@eirc I just released 2.6.1.rc1, can you update your Gemfile and see if this bug is still present?

[lucke84]

Upgrading to 2.6.1.rc1 works for me!

[eirc]

Yeah, works like a charm. Thanks!

[subelsky]

if anyone else comes across this. I used to just do:

require "shoulda/matchers/integrations/rspec"

in spec_helper.rb. After upgrading to 2.6.1.rc1 and rc2 I still get this error. The fix was :

require "shoulda/matchers"
require "shoulda/matchers/integrations/rspec"

@subelsky Thank you very much! It helped me!

[subelsky]

@Loremaster oh cool! glad to help

[mcmire]

@subelsky Can you make an example Rails app / setup that reproduces this for me? I haven't run into this personally since 2.6.1. (Alternatively, have you tried upgrading to 2.6.1?)

I had the same issue uninitialized constant Shoulda while running on circle CI. My problem was the Gemfile. I had the shoulda gem in the development environment on my local machine and test on circle and so the shoulda-matchers gem was not loading in cirlcle ci. If you run in to this, make sure you have the gem in the right environment.

group :test do
   gem 'factory_bot_rails', '~> 4.0'
   gem 'shoulda-matchers', '~> 3.1' # make sure it's in the right environment, test? development?
   gem 'faker'
   gem 'database_cleaner'
   gem 'rubocop-rspec'
   gem 'rspec_junit_formatter'
end
