Wicked_pdf: WickedPdf uninitialized

[andheiberg]

I've yet to get this gem to work after 30 mins of playing around.

I did everything in the installation section.

When trying pdf = WickedPdf.new.pdf_from_string('<h1>Hello There!</h1>') in my controller I get an exception:

uninitialized constant LandingsController::WickedPdf

When I try using render :pdf => "pdf" I get an empty pdf even though my view has <h1>Hello There!</h1>

Any suggestions as to how I can get this package to work?

Restart your server :)

3 years on (!) I had this issue too with Rails 5.2 - restarting my server and Rails console didn't help either. Exiting the console, running spring stop and then rails c again sorted it out for me.

@dominiceden so not really a wicked_pdf issue but rather a Spring annoyance / issue.
