undefined method `fa_icon' for Class about font_awesome5_rails

[tomkra]

Hello @Rockster160 , did you resolved your issue? I have no problem with calling fa_icon helper method. Methods provided by this gem will be accessible only in your views and representers. If you want to call it in models or controllers, you will have to include it manually.

I was calling the methods within views and never got it working. I eventually defined my own helper that generates the html.

It's possible it's related to the fact that the views were in a namespaced file? So instead of
views/users/index it was in views/v2/users/index - I don't see why that would cause an issue, but that's the only thing I can see that's different.

No that shouldn't cause any problems. I use this gem in many projects and everything works as expected even in namespaced views. Maybe if you use some gem, that have dependency on older font-awesome gem this could cause problem (but you shouldn't get undefined method).

Try call fa5_icon instead of fa_icon in your view and see if it resolve your issue.

fa5_icon has the same issue. When called from a view, an error is raised:

NoMethodError at /.../...
undefined method `fa5_icon' for #<#<Class:0x00007fcefc01b0f8>:0x00007fcefc02a738>

I noticed this on a mailer template, but given the style requirements for an email it doesn't really make sense to use it there.

Any solutions on this?
