13 years ago Thanks for trying citeproc-ruby. As it says in the Readme, this is still an experimental release, however, the example below should work just fine (I just tried this):
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p136 (2010-12-25 revision 30365) [x86_64-darwin10.6.0]
$ gem i citeproc-ruby
Fetching: citeproc-ruby-0.0.1.gem (100%)

$ irb
>> require 'citeproc'
=> true
>> defined? CiteProc
=> "constant"
>> book = {
...
>> }
=> {"author"=>[{"given"=>"Edgar Allen", "family"=>"Poe"}], "title"=>"Poetry, ...
>> CiteProc.process(book, :style => 'https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/raw/master/chicago-author-date.csl')
=> "Poe, Edgar Allen. 1996. Poetry, Tales, and Selected Essays. Ed. Patrick F. Quinn and G.R. Thompson. New York: Library of America."
>> CiteProc.process(book, :style => 'https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/raw/master/chicago-author-date.csl', :format => 'html')
=> "Poe, Edgar Allen. 1996. <i>Poetry, Tales, and Selected Essays</i>. Ed. Patrick F. Quinn and G.R. Thompson. New York: Library of America."A couple of things to note:
- Which Ruby version are you using? 1.9.1 or 1.9.2? (Although I would expect for the example to work in either version.)
- Since you're on Ruby 1.9 it is not necessary to require 'rubygems'.
-
Your error seems to indicate that the citeproc gem was not loaded at all (that's why I included the defined? call in the example above, you might want to run that, to make sure). So my guess is that you have a citeproc.rb file lying around in your load path which is loaded instead of the gem in line 2 of your example. To troubleshoot, could you try the following:
$ irb >> $: => this returns your load path as an array >> require 'citeproc' => true >> $: => this returns the load path again; it should be much longer now, containing the paths to the citeproc gem and its requirements (i.e., it should contain something like '/your/gem/env/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/citeproc-ruby-0.0.1/lib').
Hope that helps!

The example given in Readme.md does not work. I typed exactly the same into my IRB, after installing the Gem:
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' => false irb(main):002:0> require 'citeproc' => true irb(main):003:0> book = { irb(main):004:1* 'author' => [{ 'given' => 'Edgar Allen', 'family' => 'Poe' }], irb(main):005:1* 'title' => 'Poetry, Tales, and Selected Essays', irb(main):006:1* 'type' => 'book', irb(main):007:1* 'issued' => { 'date-parts' => [[1996]] }, irb(main):008:1* 'editor' => [{ 'family' => 'Quinn', 'given' => 'Patrick F.'}, { 'family' => 'Thompson', 'given' => 'G.R.' }], irb(main):009:1* 'publisher' => 'Library of America', irb(main):010:1* 'publisher-place' => 'New York' irb(main):011:1> } => {"author"=>[{"given"=>"Edgar Allen", "family"=>"Poe"}], "title"=>"Poetry, Tales, and Selected Essays", "type"=>"book", "issued"=>{"date-parts"=>[[1996]]}, "editor"=>[{"family"=>"Quinn", "given"=>"Patrick F."}, {"family"=>"Thompson", "given"=>"G.R."}], "publisher"=>"Library of America", "publisher-place"=>"New York"} irb(main):012:0> CiteProc.process(book) NameError: uninitialized constant Object::CiteProc from (irb):12 from /usr/local/bin/irb19:12:in `'
I get a bit further if I use Citeproc instead of CiteProc
irb(main):013:0> Citeproc.process(book) NoMethodError: undefined method'
process' for Citeproc:Module from (irb):13 from /usr/local/bin/irb19:12:inBut still can't get there.
A functioning example would be very helpful - I tried looking at the rspecs, but I couldn't make much sense of them.
