How to fix NoMethodError undefined method `escape' for URI:Module?

Question

I'm following this guide for implementing the PayPal REST API in my Rails app, and it gives an error that's said in the title, specifically pointing to this line in the code under create_order.

response = @client.execute request

I'm sure I have my client id and secret copy pasted and I also copy pasted most of the code to avoid any errors. What's causing this problem and how do I fix it? I appreciate the help.

Edit:

Command line output:

Started POST "/create_order" for ::1 at 2021-11-16 21:21:07 +0800
Processing by BookingsController#create_order as */*
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 2ms (ActiveRecord: 0.0ms | Allocations: 1603)



NoMethodError (undefined method `escape' for URI:Module):

app/controllers/bookings_controller.rb:35:in `create_order'

There's no error trace from the command prompt but I see errors in the browser's console. Should I post that one? — teduniq, Nov 16 '21 at 12:41
Updated. There are also a bunch of errors after it. The errors appear after I click either Paypal buttons. — teduniq, Nov 16 '21 at 12:59
That's not helpful. Update with the server error logs and the action that triggers it. — razvans, Nov 16 '21 at 13:11
I replaced it with the command line output. There's no error trace though. — teduniq, Nov 16 '21 at 13:24

Probably best to just do a monkey patch with future expectation of moving away from paypal-checkout-sdk (it's deprecated)

monkey patch option can be found at: paypal-checkout-sdk breaks in ruby 3.0.1

you are missing gem files which are required to use the URI.escape

add these gems in you gemfile

gem 'uri'
gem 'net-http'
gem 'http'

after that run command => "bundle install" in the terminal

and then try to run you application via rails s

hope this will fix your error

Since "URI.escape" is depriciated by the ruby community but "paypal-checkout-sdk" uses it while requesting from client. which is like this: @client.execute request
