I want to install ‘omniauth-openid-connect’ gem in a plugin
my plugin.rb file
> gem ‘omniauth-openid-connect’, ‘0.2.3’
In development mode, when i run my local server, I get the following error:
> \*\*\* Gem::LoadError Exception: Could not find ‘attr\_required’ (\>= 1.0.0) among 178 total gem(s)
> Checked in ‘GEM\_PATH=/Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0:/Users/me/.gem/ruby/2.3.0’, execute `gem env` for more information
While “attr\_required” is present in plugin’s gem directory /plugins/my\_plugin/gems/2.3.0/, as well as other dependent gems
