undefined method `hostname' for "'http://www.google.com/":String (NoMethodError)

Question

I have the following code to get google.com

class Geocoder
    def self.locate()

        uri="http://www.google.com/"



        puts Net::HTTP.get(uri)

end

but i faced with the erorr:

undefined method `hostname' for "'http://www.google.com/":String (NoMethodError)

I have already seen this, and my ruby version is: ruby 2.2.1

You also have a single quote inside your double-quoted string, there. — sevenseacat

You're missing parsing the string into a URI... Here is what it should look like:

class Geocoder
  def self.locate(address)
    escaped_address = URI.escape(address) 
    uri = URI.parse(escaped_address)
    puts Net::HTTP.get(uri)
  end
end
