ActiveSupport::VERSION not found when using Markdown in *.lsg file about livingstyleguide HOT 6 OPEN

I looked into the issue a bit further, and it looks like you need to require the "base ActiveSupport" in addition to the part you want to use. See for example the Rails guides on ActiveSupport Extensions. A short trial run in pry also supports this:

[1] pry(main)> require 'active_support/core_ext/string/inflections'
=> true
[2] pry(main)> ActiveSupport::VERSION::MAJOR
NameError: uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::VERSION
from (pry):2:in `__pry__'

compared to

[1] pry(main)> require 'active_support'
=> true
[2] pry(main)> require 'active_support/core_ext/string/inflections'
=> true
[3] pry(main)> ::ActiveSupport::VERSION::MAJOR
=> 5

So I'd suggest to add another require to the slug function in markdown_extensions.rb like so

def slug(text)
      require "active_support"
      require "active_support/core_ext/string/inflections"
      if ::ActiveSupport::VERSION::MAJOR >= 5
        ::ActiveSupport::Inflector.parameterize(text, separator: "-")
      else
        ::ActiveSupport::Inflector.parameterize(text, "-")
      end
    rescue LoadError
      text.downcase.gsub(/[ _\.\-!\?\(\)\[\]]+/, "-").gsub(/^-|-$/, "")
end

Sounds good. Do you want to open a pull request?

Hi, any idea when this is going to be release on rubygems? The current version doesn't contain this fix yet. :)

@Dahie thanks for the reminder. I’ll try to check tonight. I’m not actively using it right now as I’m working on JavaScript projects only. Most of my development goes into PIMD – which is based on the ideas and learnings of LivingStyleGuide. I’d love to have a Ruby integration later on.
