Hello,
I haven't had the opportunity to play with Edge Rails recently, but upon testing out a new app in it, found that having observers in sub-directories doesn't work out of the box.
i.e. our app/models folder looks something like: models/ - attachment.rb - beta_code.rb billing/ - biller.rb - coupon.rb observers/ - conversation_observer.rb - feed_observer.rb
Putting them in subdirectories was done just to keep things in the app/models folder somewhat manageable & organized.
Just counted our models, we're now up to 47! (and they said Rails was only for toy scaffolding apps... =))
So, for example the billing/biller.rb model definition looks like: class Biller ... end
Not, "Billing::Biller"...
A few questions:
1) Any advice on models directory organization going forward (i.e. for Edge Rails & Rails 2.0)? (i.e. is our setup going to be OK, or what is recommended when you have this many models)
2) Is it OK to keep Observers in a subdirectory within app/models?
So this line in environment.rb: ConversationObserver.instance
Was causing this error:
/ ... long path ... /activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant CannedReplyObserver (NameError)
Not so much worried about that. Should I open a ticket for this or is it just expected behavior?
Adding this to environment.rb did the trick anyway: Dir["#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/observers/*"].each do |path| filename = path.split('/').last.sub('.rb', '') require "app/models/observers/#{filename}" end
Thanks!
Shanti
