调用irb和rails console中的'rubygems'结果=> false。

Question

I'm trying to use 'awesome_print' gem in irb and rails console but when I call $ require 'rubygems' it results false. I tried reloading but didn't work.

Answer 1

The reason it returns false is that RubyGems is already loaded.

To use awesome print in plain irb, you'll just need to include the gem manually, like this:

require 'awesome_print'

Or in Rails, you can either chuck it in your Gemfile, or also use require 'awesome_print'
