Issue integrating mautic-rails into app

[michaelqz]

Hi,

Thanks for putting together this fantastic gem. I have been trying to integrate the gem into my app.

In rails console, I try to run the following command but receive the following error message.

>>> m.contacts.all
LoadError: Unable to autoload constant Proxy, expected /home/ubuntu/workspace/lib/mautic/proxy.rb to define it
from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0/gems/activesupport-5.1.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:512:in `load_missing_constant'

However my lib/mautic/proxy.rb file is present in the relevant directory, i.e. this file is present in my directory. Would you know how I should go about trouble-shooting this?

Hello, can you give more information - how is gem mounted in your app ? For example did you put into your Gemfile

gem "mautic", path: "/home/ubuntu/workspace"

or in some other way? For me is confused that error show "workspace" as a main directory of gem.

I'd like to reproduce it. Thank you

Hi,

The reason why it shows workspace as the main directory of the gem may be because I have actually copied over your files manually into my directories - I did not use the gem. I did so as I did not need the views. It may also be because I'm developing on the Cloud 9 workspace instead of my local machine.

your repo -> my directories: app/models/mautic/ -> app/models/mautic/ app/controllers/concerns/mautic/connections_controller_concern.rb content into -> app/controllers/connections_controller.rb lib/mautic/ -> lib/mautic/ lib/mautic.rb -> lib/mautic.rb

I've also updated the locales text and added the relevant routes into my app:

# routes.rb
  namespace :api do
    resources :mautic do
      member do
        get :authorize
        get :oauth2
      end
    end
  end

I've also added the autoload path:

# application.rb
config.eager_load_paths << Rails.root.join('lib/mautic')

Thanks very much for your kind assistance.

I think thats a reason, you try to copy some file from engine to your app, but you did not setup it correctly. I suppose that correct eager_load_paths is just lib folder. Anyway I recommend you gem "as is", or fork it, but still use it as a engine. So in your app you can clone whole repositoro lets say to "vendor" directory and to Gemfile put

gem "mautic", path: "./vendor/mautic-rails"

If you need replace views, its no problem, because rails use your app paths firstly instead engine paths, so if you create app/views/mautic/connections/_form.html.erb, rails should use your view instead of engine. Another point - I have created controller as a concern, because I also need in my other project overwrite views - you can create own controller, include conecrn and copy (and update) routes in your routes.rb.

I have intergration with Redmine - you can use it as a working example - https://github.com/luk4s/redmine_mautic .

I hope thats help, of not let me know 🙂
