require 'pry' in railtie.rb

[ijdickinson]

I installed font-awesome-rails using Bundler, and then my rails server failed to start because it couldn't require pry (I've switched to byebug, so pry isn't a dependency in my project). Investigating, I found:

ian@ian-desktop $ gem install fontawesome-rails
Successfully installed fontawesome-rails-4.0.3.0
Parsing documentation for fontawesome-rails-4.0.3.0

ian@ian-desktop $ gem which -a fontawesome/rails/railtie.rb
/home/ian/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/fontawesome-rails-4.0.3.0/lib/fontawesome/rails/railtie.rb

ian@ian-desktop $ gem which -a fontawesome/rails/railtie.rb | xargs cat
require 'pry'
module Fontawesome
  module Rails
    class Railtie < ::Rails::Railtie
      config.assets.paths << File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', '..', '..', 'vendor', 'assets', 'fonts').to_s

      config.assets.precompile += %w( .eot .woff .ttf)
    end
  end
end

If pry is actually required here, it should be a dependency in the Gemfile, but I suspect this is accidentally left over from some debugging session.

Sorry, confusion between fontawesome-rails and font-awesome-rails. Not your problem!

@ijdickinson Thanks for following-up, explaining the confusion, and closing this out. That other gem doesn't look like it's maintained anymore. You might want to consider switching.

@rmm5t I already switched, the instant I realised what was going on. So far, font-awesome-rails has been rock solid. Go hyphens! :)
