cannot load such file -- validate_url/rspec_matcher in Rails6

[krtschmr]

anybody else?

seems to be correct installed tho

tim@vm:~/rails/$ cat spec/rails_helper.rb | grep validate_url
require 'validate_url/rspec_matcher'

tim@vm:~/rails/$ cat Gemfile | grep validate_url
gem "validate_url"
tim@vm:~/rails/$ bundle show | grep validate_url
  * validate_url (1.0.8)

As a workaround just replace require 'validate_url/rspec_matcher' to require 'rspec_matcher'

The documentation matches the master code.

When that has been released, it will work as advertised.

Workaround: Use master

gem 'validate_url', github: 'perfectline/validates_url'

FYI, same issue happens in Rails 5.2.3. It works when using the github install as mentioned above.

Can we get a release with #81? require "rspec_matcher" is a bit 😬

Adding require "rspec_matcher" as suggested above is a bad idea, and I try to avoid pointing my Gemfile at remote repositories.

So the option I went with was to simply copy & paste the validate_url_of matcher into my spec/spec_helper.rb file. It's also ugly, but is at least predictable until a proper fix is released.
