undefined method `request' for nil:NilClass

Hello there! I'm trying to use her gem in my application (rails4 + ruby2) and everything seems to work fine. Until i'll try to use it in module namespace. For example:

class Video
  include Her::Model
end

Video.find(4)

Works just fine but:

module Depot
  class Video
    include Her::Model
  end
end

Depot::Video.find(4)

This throws me an error:

undefined method `request' for nil:NilClass

# Stacktrace
her (0.6.8) lib/her/model/http.rb:52:in `request'
her (0.6.8) lib/her/model/relation.rb:95:in `block in find'

her (0.6.8) lib/her/model/orm.rb:127:in `find'
app/controllers/application_controller.rb:45:in `some_method'

some_method() is a method which fires Depot::Video.find(4) line and there is no other code in it.

Any ideas?

I'm experiencing this error too. Any input would be appreciated.

Looks like the order in which the files get loaded get's screwed up and Her::API.setup doesn't get run first.

I was able to fix it in this really hacky way:

module Client
  class Base
    Her::API.setup
    include Her::Model
  end
end

Hi @mbajur,

I know it has been a while but are you still experiencing this issue? This code works just fine for me:

module Test
  class User
    include Her::Model
  end
end

u = Test::User.all

u.each do |user|
  puts user.message
end

I was able to solve it by doing require false in the Gemfile, and load the api and the Base on initializer.

I was having the same problem. Since I'm using Her in a rubygem, "require: false" isn't an option AFAIK.

Still, I was able to fix the problem by ensuring that Her initialization happened before my model was loaded. Unfortunate, but at least it works.
