event machine with em http gem cannot load middleware oauth - ruby

Question

I am trying to get the stock price streaming to work using TradeKing API
https://developers.tradeking.com/documentation/ruby-streaming
or the copied and pasted codes below
require 'em-http'
require 'em-http/middleware/oauth'
credentials = {
:consumer_key => "<CONSUMER_KEY>",
:consumer_secret => "<CONSUMER_SECRET>",
:access_token => "<ACCESS_TOKEN>",
:access_token_secret => "<ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET>"
}
EM.run do
conn = EventMachine::HttpRequest.new('https://stream.tradeking.com/v1/market/quotes.json?symbols=F')
conn.use EventMachine::Middleware::OAuth, credentials
http = conn.get
http.stream { |chunk| puts chunk }
http.errback do
EM.stop
end
trap("INT") { http.close; EM.stop }
trap("TERM") { http.close; EM.stop }
end
After getting key, secret, and token, I built a simple Ruby app to play with the codes but I get an error that says it cannot load
require 'em-http/middleware/oauth'
If I disable this, the code EventMachine::Middleware::OAuth will not work.
Here is the error message:
c:/tools/ruby215/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/
kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': cannot load such file --

I am new to event machine and em-http gem. I looked at their documentation but couldn't find information about this error. Can someone help me figure out why the file cannot load?

Answer 1

OK, so I solved this myself. I haven't worked with vanilla Ruby in a while so I got a bit rusty with reading the error messages. The error says that it cannot load the file and points to line 1 of the the oauth.rb file which is in the em-http-request gem. I looked into the file and the first line says require simple_oauth which I haven't installed it yet. I would think installing em-http-request gem would install simple_oauth as a dependency, but I guess not (well the em-http-request hasn't been updated for several years).
The fix to this problem is to install simple_oauth gem.
gem install simple_oauth
and run those codes again and it should work.

I hope this helps anyone who is having the same problem (since TradeKing API doc isn't as clear).
