Error in IRB: undefined method `meta_add_field' for "":String about pusher-http-ruby HOT 4 CLOSED

This looks like a bug in httpclient when running ruby 2.1 - see nahi/httpclient#180 for more info. I'd recommend just using a Ruby 2.0 (not head) until this is fixed.

Hi All,

My question is the following, I'm using the pusher gem and if I follow the instructions to send a message in from ruby (which I execute in irb), I get the below rendered error.

The message does get send to the pusher debugger window successfully, it's just that this error message is thrown.

Additionally, this error is thrown only when I attempt to send messages from my VPS, on my local machine all is fine.

Could you guys help me out on this one?

Thanks in advance?

Cheers,
Marcel

Thanks, that was it! I changed my ruby version and now all is working. Thanks again.

Just to add to this, I had the same issue. Was running Ruby 2.1 and then went back to 2.0 and the problem was fixed.

Fixed in v0.14.2 which requires httpclient 2.4 and up
