Question

I have Rails 3.1.3 app and trying to plug gem “redis” to it.

I’ve added following gem to Gemfile:

gem “redis-store”

Following this article, i’ve added following code to environments/development.rb:

config.gem "redis-store", :lib => "redis-store"
require "redis-store" # HACK
config.cache_store = :redis_store

The app won’t start, complaining to cache_store:

/gems/activesupport-3.1.3/lib/active_support/cache.rb:65:in `lookup_store’: Could not find cache store adapter for redis_store (no such file to load — active_support/cache/redis_store) (RuntimeError).

I’ve figured it out, including gem “redis-rails” instead of “redis-store”, but i’m getting another error:

/Users/AntonAL/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2011.03@global/gems/bundler-1.0.21/lib/bundler/rubygems_integration.rb:143:in `gem’: redis-store is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile. (Gem::LoadError)

Keeping them both…

gem 'redis-store'
gem 'redis-rails'

…gives another error
