Heroku + Rails + GeoIp = uninitialized constant GeoIP error


I'm trying to deploy my old website to the Heroku. Everything goes well, it starts, but when I access it through a web browser i get

NameError (uninitialized constant ApplicantsController::GeoIP):

I'm using Rails 2.3.18 (my website is very simple and just want to deploy it "as it is" and asap; on dedicated server everything worked well).

I have a GeoIP.dat file in 'db' folder and in controllers/applicants_controller.rb I have

line 32:    geoip ||= GeoIP.new("db/GeoIP.dat")
line 33:    location = geoip.country('google.com')

If I launch irb on Heroku everything looks good:

login@sancho:~$ heroku run bash
Running `bash` attached to terminal... up, run.7785
~ $ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'geoip'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> geoip ||= GeoIP.new("db/GeoIP.dat")
=> #<GeoIP:0x00000002b3a6a8 @mutex=#<Mutex:0x00000002b3a680>, @flags=0, @database_type=1, @record_length=3, @file=#<File:db/GeoIP.dat>, @database_segments=[16776960]>
irb(main):004:0> geoip.country('google.com')
=> #<struct GeoIP::Country request="google.com", ip="74.125.228.110", country_code=225, country_code2="US", country_code3="USA", country_name="United States", continent_code="NA">
irb(main):005:0> 

Here is full error log.

Solution

  • Problem solved.

    I forgot to edit config/boot.rb and create edit/preinitializer.rb as described here http://gembundler.com/v1.3/rails23.html
