Using SOAP and other Standard Libraries in Ruby 1.9.2

Question

So, I recently upgraded to 1.9.2 Ruby, having used 1.8.7 for forever (I wanted to try out Rails 3).

The BIGGEST problem I\'m having is that none of my SOAP require

Answer 1

if you are trying rails 3 update your gem file with

gem 'soap4r', :git => 'git://github.com/felipec/soap4r.git'

this is updated with fix.

Answer 2

https://rubygems.org/gems/soap4r-ruby1.9

gem install soap4r-ruby1.9

This gem solved most of my soap related issues with ruby 1.9

Answer 3

If you want to keep using Ruby 1.8's standard soap library (aka soap4r), you can try https://github.com/spox/soap4r-spox ...

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/spox/soap4r-spox/tarball/1.5.8.4
tar -xzf spox-soap4r-spox-1.5.8.4-0-g345a6cb.tar.gz
cd spox-soap4r-spox-345a6cb/
ruby setup.rb all

If you're using rvm, don't sudo the last command... instead su into root and rvm to ruby 1.9 so that setup.rb puts the files into the right place.

$ irb
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > require 'soap/rpc/driver'
 => true 
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > require 'xsd/qname'
 => false 
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
 => true 
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > require 'fileutils'
 => true 

As suggested by other StackOverflow answers, you might want to switch to a gem like savon.
