cant find method in application_helper from layout

I am having some trouble with an old app I need to work on..

I have managed to get it mostly working with Rails 2.3, but I have run into this problem:

undefined method `class_current_controller?' for #<ActionView::Base:0x224c6a4>

class_current_controller? is defined in application_helper.rb

it should be finding it no? not sure what is going on here..

I tried writing a test method and calling that from the layout just to make sure and I get the same problem.

any help much appreciated!

thanks adam

Is class_current_controller? a instance or a class method?

Its just a normal method defined in application_helper... I assume its an instance method of the helper, it is not defined as 'def self.method' Its defined as: 'def class_current_controller?'

Ok the problem was, I am using comatose, and the comatose_admin layout did not have access to application_helper - solutions was simply to add "helper 'application'" to comatose_admin_controller.rb

Perhaps there has been a change in rails that means that application_helper is not available to plugins without declaration?
