Question

A basic question – How do I access a function inside a module, then another module, then a class.

In a gem –

module Handsoap
  module Http

    # Represents a HTTP Request.
    class Request
      attr_reader :url, :http_method, :headers, :body, :username, :password, :trust_ca_file, :client_cert_file, :client_cert_key_file
      attr_writer :body, :http_method

      def set_trust_ca_file(ca_file)
         @trust_ca_file = ca_file

      end
    end
  end
end

In my file, I am trying this –

Handsoap:Http::Request.set_trust_ca_file('/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt')

:Http is not a class/module (TypeError)

Answer 1

You have a typo. Should be

Handsoap::Http::Request

Also, your method should be class instance method

def self.set_trust_ca_file(ca_file)
  # ...
end
