HTTParty crashing Sinatra - ruby

Question

I have a small modular Sinatra app that I'm building to act as a front end for a separate REST API. Everything was going swimmingly until I added HTTParty (to make requests to my API) and now no page will load.
The API server was running on localhost port 9393, but the error persists even when I shut down that server. (And when I comment out the one HTTParty request I have in my routes.
Here's my app.rb file:
ENV["RACK_ENV"] ||= "development"
require 'bundler' require 'sinatra/base' require 'sinatra/contrib/all' require 'json' require 'sinatra/strong-params' require 'haml' require 'sinatra/partial' require 'sass'
# require 'httparty'
require 'pry'
Bundler.setup Bundler.require(:default, ENV["RACK_ENV"].to_sym)
# DATABASE CONFIG
# dbconfig = YAML.load(File.read('./config/database.yml'))
# ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection dbconfig["#{settings.environment}"]
# Base URL for API calls API_BASE = 'http://localhost:9393'
class PantryApp < Sinatra::Base include HTTParty register Sinatra::Partial
set :root, File.dirname(__FILE__) enable :sessions
# set folder for templates to ../views, but make the path absolute set :views, File.expand_path('../app/views', __FILE__)
# don't enable logging when running tests configure :production, :development do
enable :logging end
# will be used to display 404 error pages not_found do
erb :not_found end
get '/' do
haml :login end
get '/login' do
haml :login end
post '/login' do
# api_token = HTTParty.post(API_BASE + '/token', query: {email: params['email'], password: params['password']})
binding.pry
haml :user_pantry end
# REQUIRE ALL APP FILES Dir["./app/**/*.rb"].each { |f| require f }
end
And when I try to go to /login, I get:
Boot Error
Something went wrong while loading config.ru
Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) for nil port 80

and config.ru is simply:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/app.rb'
map('/users') { run UsersController }
map('/') { run PantryApp }
It looks to me like something about the 'get' from my first route in app.rb is leading to httparty instead of Sinatra, but I don't know why or what to do to fix it.

Answer 1

I answered my own question, but I want to leave this here in case it is useful for someone else.
In this case, I needed to not use the include HTTParty in the class, but rather require it at the top. I think using include was what was mixing up the get request.
