Ruby 3.0.1环境下使用candy_check gem验证Google Play订阅时遭遇google/api_client加载失败问题求助

Hey, I’ve dealt with this exact headache before when pairing candy_check with Ruby 3.x—let’s walk through why this happens and how to fix it.

The LoadError for google/api_client usually boils down to one of two issues: either the required gem isn’t properly installed in your Ruby 3.0.1 environment, or the version of google-api-client that candy_check depends on isn’t compatible with Ruby 3.

Here are the steps that worked for me:

• First, update your Gemfile to explicitly specify a Ruby 3-compatible google-api-client version
  Older versions of google-api-client don’t play nice with Ruby 3’s changes. Add or update this line in your Gemfile:

  gem 'google-api-client', '~> 0.53.0'
  

  This version is tested to work with Ruby 3.x. Then run:

  bundle install
  

  This ensures bundler pulls in the correct compatible version instead of relying on candy_check’s potentially outdated dependency constraints.

• Verify the gem is installed and accessible
  After bundling, run this command to confirm the gem is present in your current environment:

  bundle show google-api-client
  

  If it returns a valid path, try testing the require in an irb session:

  require 'google/api_client'
  

  If this works, the issue was just a missing or incompatible gem version.

• If you’re using a version manager (rbenv/rvm), double-check your environment
  Sometimes the gem gets installed to a different Ruby version by mistake. Run:

  ruby -v
  

  To confirm you’re actually running Ruby 3.0.1. If not, switch to the correct version and re-run bundle install.

• Reset your bundle if dependencies are messed up
  If you’ve been tweaking gems and still have issues, delete your Gemfile.lock and run bundle install again to force a fresh dependency resolution.

• Check for candy_check updates
  Make sure you’re using the latest version of candy_check—sometimes maintainers update dependencies to support newer Ruby versions. Update your Gemfile to use the latest release:

  gem 'candy_check', '~> 0.30.0' # Check rubygems for the latest version number
  

  Then run bundle update candy_check.

If none of these steps work, try running your script with bundle exec to ensure it uses the bundled gems instead of system gems:

bundle exec your_script.rb
