method_missing only in production using custom validation

My hunch would be because of environment.rb and requiring dependencies - Space Vatican

You were right.

When i turned of config.cache_classes in my environments/production.rb everything worked great. Of course I cant run a deployment like that, sooo...i moved my " require 'custom_validations' " into my model right above my validation call, to ensure it gets loaded in the right order. I'm not sure how kosher this is, but it fixed the problem.

models/phrase.rb: ... require 'custom_validations validates_not_spam :word ...

Personally my preferred solution is what is outline in the blog post:
have an initializer that requires stuff like that'

Guess i'm just dense, that worked great too. I had never used initalizers/ before except to regulate inflections, just created an Application.rb and threw in my

require 'custom_validations'

Thanks Fred!!
