Mail Chimp & Rails Gibbon Gem - hostname does not match the server certificate - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

Just integrated the Gibbon, gem and I am getting a hostname does not match the server certificate error thrown back when trying to subscribe a new user?
def subscribe_to_mailchimp testing=false
return true if (Rails.env.test? && !testing)
list_id = ENV['My-list-id']
response = Rails.configuration.mailchimp.lists.subscribe({
id: list_id,
email: {email: email},
double_optin: false,
})
response
end

Answer 1

Slight change in the way that this works from the last time i looked seems to have fixed the issue.
Firstly
def subscribe_to_mailchimp testing=false
return true if (Rails.env.test? && !testing)
list_id = 'My-list-id'
response = Rails.configuration.mailchimp.lists.subscribe({
id: list_id,
email: {email: email},
double_optin: false,
})
response
end
Secondly
in config/initializers/mailchimp.rb
if Rails.env.test?
Gibbon::Export.api_key = "fake"
Gibbon::Export.throws_exceptions = false
end
Gibbon::API.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
Gibbon::API.timeout = 15
Gibbon::API.throws_exceptions = false
Rails.configuration.mailchimp = Gibbon::API.new
Finally in application.rb
require 'openssl'
The Require openssl was what was generating the hostname does not match the server error as the call in the Gibbon app uses https
And if your interested in users.rb
def subscribe_to_mailchimp testing=false
return true if (Rails.env.test? && !testing)
list_id = "YOUR_LIST_ID"
response = Rails.configuration.mailchimp.lists.subscribe({
id: list_id,
email: {email: email},
double_optin: false,
})
response
end
