error in reel gem: uninitialized constant HTTP::Response::STATUS_CODES (NameError)

[parke]

I just manually built and installed ruby.

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-linux]

I then ran:

$ export GEM_HOME=$HOME/local/gems
$ gem install airplay
$ gem install airplay-cli

I had to install the package libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev to provide the file dns_sd.h. I am running on Ubuntu 14.04. I have never used Ruby before. (One of the gems required Ruby 2, which is why I built Ruby manually. Ubuntu 14.04 comes with Ruby 1.9.)

air crashes after startup.

$ ./air list

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm getting the same error on Ubuntu 16.04

[therimalaya]

Me too!

Same error on OS X running ruby 2.3.0 using rvm.

That's because HTTP::Response::STATUS_CODES has already been deprecated by http since 1.0.0. You can refer to the changelog of the http gem.

So the solution is pretty simple. Uninstall the http in your system, then install 0.9.9 specifically.

gem uninstall http
gem install http -v 0.9.9
