local variable or method `config' for main:Object (NameError)

Question

I\'m following this post for integrating Omniauth Twitter + Devise http://sourcey.com/rails-4-omniauth-using-devise-with-twitter-facebook-and-linkedin/ and I have encounter an i

Answer 1

I have also faced such an error(

NameError: undefined local variable or method `server' for main:Object
        from (irb):1
        from C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby2.2.0/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'),

)

maybe its because I am a Newbie in ruby on rails. hence instead of starting the rails server from direct command line I tried it to start from inside of IRB hence I got that error.

when I came out of IRB and started the server again from CMD it started smoothly.

Answer 2

If you have config.xxx in environment.rb

delete it and add these into development.rb:

Rails.application.configure do
  config.xxx
end

Answer 3

The article states that you should put some code in:

config/environments/[environment].rb

Where [environment].rb is meant to signify one of the following files:

config/environments/development.rb
config/environments/production.rb
config/environments/test.rb

You could also put the code in config/application.rb if you want the same settings across your different environments.

The lines of code shown start with config.*, and they should be placed inside the Rails.application.configure do block.

config/environment.rb in a typical Rails 4 application is just a require and Rails.application.initialize!, and should not need modification.
