Rails load path questions
- by HelpMe
Say I have some custom classes that don't belong in models, controllers etc, I should put this in /lib correct?
In rails < 3 I would add this directory to my loadpath and in rails 3+ I would add this to my autoload_path. Is this correct?
Now say I have some classes that extends already defined classes. Where should I put this so its run on startup. Forexample say I want to add the method 'foo' on String.
class String
def foo
'foo;
end
end
Where should I put this class so it's defined on startup?
Another weird bug I have is when I try to namespace classes in lib.
module MyProject
class Foo
end
end
Now in a console:
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :004 Bags::Foo
LoadError: Expected /Users/me/workspace/my_project/lib/foo.rb to define Foo
from /Users/rob/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/activesupport-3.0.3/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:492:in `load_missing_constant'
from /Users/rob/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/activesupport-3.0.3/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:183:in `block in const_missing'
I keep getting this error. How can I load this file?
Thanks in advance for any help!
