incompatibility with ruby 1.9

[nicolasochem]

When starting my app in a ruby 1.9 environment I get this issue :

/home/ror/gem/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:158:in `require': /home/ror/gem/gems/contacts-1.0.16/lib/contacts/base.rb:165: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' (SyntaxError)
/home/ror/gem/gems/contacts-1.0.16/lib/contacts/base.rb:172: syntax error, unexpected keyword_when, expecting keyword_end
when 'deflate':
^

same issue here, such a shame as it is a really usefull plugin :-(

Hi Cardmagic,
I seem to have solved the issue by removing the dobbelpoints on line 165 and 172 of lib/contacts/base.rb:

   when 'gzip'
   ....
   when 'deflate'
   ....

also in gmail.rb I had to comment the whole upper part with the logic of loading JSON.
I guess its not needed in 1.9? I don't know, but it works ;-)

thanks for looking into this.

but now I get this: undefined method `grep' for #String:0xb3a47f0
for hotmail.rb line 82

:-(
thanks

I'm running into a similar problem under ruby 1.9, even outside of rails:

$ irb -rubygems
irb(main):001:0> require "contacts"
LoadError: no such file to load -- jcode
          from /usr/local/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gdata-1.1.1/lib/gdata.rb:21:in `require'
          from /usr/local/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gdata-1.1.1/lib/gdata.rb:21:in `<top (required)>'
          from /usr/local/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/contacts-1.2.2/lib/contacts/gmail.rb:1:in `require'
          from /usr/local/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/contacts-1.2.2/lib/contacts/gmail.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
          from /usr/local/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/contacts-1.2.2/lib/contacts.rb:6:in `require'
          from /usr/local/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/contacts-1.2.2/lib/contacts.rb:6:in `<top (required)>'
          from (irb):1:in `require'
          from (irb):1
          from /usr/local/ruby19/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

Seems that jcode is no longer available, or necessary, under ruby 1.9

I had the same issue, here is how I fixed it:
ruby >= 1.9 doesn't have jcode, a module to handle japanese (EUC/SJIS) strings, as it supports unicode natively.

So you will need to add: require 'jcode' if RUBY_VERSION < '1.9' to your gdata gem
