Schema.parse not working with Ruby 1.8.7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Call Google::API::Schema.parse(...) 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
schema_class object is expected, but results in an exception that 
const_defined?(...) takes only one parameter.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using Ruby 1.8.7 and in this version there is no const_defined?(...) and 
const_get(...) with 2 arguments for a module. These are of course available in 
Ruby 1.9.3.

Please provide any additional information below.
If this is the only issue to support Ruby 1.8.7 even if its old, than you can 
mayby insert just a small check in later releases of this gem.

I think a lot of projects still using Ruby 1.8.7 and in most cases its not 
trivial to upgrade.

Thank you!

For everybody with the same problem, a workaround:

class Module
    alias_method :orig_const_defined?, :const_defined?
    alias_method :orig_const_get, :const_get

    def const_defined?(sym, inherit=true)
      orig_const_defined?(sym)
    end

    def const_get(sym, inherit=true)
      orig_const_get(sym)
    end
end

Regards
Timo

Same problem here. This is not a valid reason to limit google-api-ruby-client 
to Ruby 1.9. Please do fix it.

That said, you should still upgrade. 1.8.7 is definitely still supported and 
will be for at least awhile yet, but at some point down the road, that will 
probably change.

After updating to the new version 0.4.2 of your gem the issue is gone!

Thank you very much!
