uninitialized constant GraphQL::Pundit

[casiodk]

I am following the instructions, but I am getting this error

# Gemfile
gem 'graphql-pundit'

class Types::BaseObject < GraphQL::Schema::Object
  field_class GraphQL::Pundit::Field
end


{
  "status": 500,
  "error": "Internal Server Error",
  "exception": "#<NameError: uninitialized constant GraphQL::Pundit>",
  "traces": {
    "Application Trace": [
      {
        "id": 1,
        "trace": "app/graphql/types/base_object.rb:2:in `<class:BaseObject>'"
      },

I tried to create a new rails app with only gem 'graphql' + 'graphql-pundit' and i get the same error.?

Can you try using gem 'graphql-pundit', '~> 0.7.0' in your Gemfile? I think you still include an old version. Will create a PR to update the readme.

I am having this same issue. Previously, I was developing off of the class_api branch with no issues. Since changing to gem 'graphql-pundit', '~> 0.7.0' I am receiving this same error. If I switch back to the class_api branch, the error disappears.

[haizop]

Ok, if I change my Gemfile reference to gem 'graphql-pundit', github: 'ontohub/graphql-pundit' the problem disappears. Is there a problem with the RubyGems distribution?

[phyrog]

As far as I can tell, the problem seems to only occur when using bootsnap. Will investigate further.

However, I could not reproduce the issue with a new rails app (using Ruby 2.5.1, Rails 5.2.0, graphql 1.8.0 and graphql-pundit 0.7.0).

[phyrog]

Could y'all delete the tmp/cache/bootsnap-compile-cache directory and tmp/cache/bootsnap-load-path-cache and try again?

[haizop]

I do not use bootsnap.

[phyrog]

Are you sure? It's on by default in new rails versions

[haizop]

I believe bootsnap was only added in Rails 5.2.0. I am on Rails 5.1.6.

[phyrog]

Do you have the project online somewhere, so I can have a look?

[haizop]

Sorry - it is a private repo. Gemfile selection:

ruby '2.5.1'
gem 'rails', '~> 5.1.6'

# API
gem 'graphql', '~> 1.8.3'
# gem 'graphql-pundit', '~> 0.7.0'
gem 'graphql-pundit', github: 'ontohub/graphql-pundit', :ref => '0e2fb3e'
gem 'pundit', '~> 1.1.0'

query type:

class Types::Query < Types::BaseObject

  field :current_user, Types::User, null: true
  field :user, Types::User, null: true do
    argument :id, ID, required: true
    authorize ->(_obj, args, ctx) {
      Api::Graphql::QueryPolicy.new(ctx[:current_user], User.find(args[:id])).user?
    }
  end

  def current_user
    context.current_user
  end

  def user(id:)
    ::User.find(id)
  end
end

Anything in particular you would like to see?

[phyrog]

• When does the error occur? When starting the application or when executing a query?
• Does the error occur on newly created applications?
• Does the error occur when running rails c and trying to access GraphQL::Pundit?
• Can you post the stacktrace of the error (from the Rails output, not the GraphQL response)?

Unfortunately debugging is a bit hard when I can't reproduce the error. Could you create a new project that exhibits this error and upload it, so I can play around with it?

[haizop]

1. The error occurs when executing a query.
2. Don't know, can try to replicate tomorrow.
3. Yes, the error occurs in the console when trying to access GraphQL::Pundit

NameError (uninitialized constant GraphQL::Pundit):

app/graphql/types/base_object.rb:2:in `<class:BaseObject>'

[phyrog]

What happens when you call require 'graphql-pundit' in the rails console?

[casiodk]

I can do it, 2 secs
