Problem when inheriting subclass

Hi, I can’t seem to find anything on the web regarding this error I found. I don’t know if it’s something i did wrong or just some kind of bug.

I have 2 engines, named “Pes” and “Iss”. “Pes” is the most atomic engine in our project and all other engines will add it as a dependency, it has these models:

Pes::Person Pes::Person::Phone

The “Iss” engine depends on “Pes” and has these models that inherits from “Pes”

Iss::Person < Pes::Person Iss::Person::Phone < Pes::Person::Phone

My problem is that, when I call Iss::Person.new, rails gives me an Iss::Person object… Great! But when I call Iss::Person::Phone, rails is giving me a Pes::Person::Phone object… I tried everything, and even when i remove the inheritance from the Iss::Person::Phone model, it still gives me the Pes::Person::Phone object.

Here’s some sample code:

module Pes class Person < ApplicationRecord …

end end

module Pes class Person::Phone < ApplicationRecord …

end end

module Iss class Person < Pes::Person …

end end

module Iss class Person::Phone < Pes::Person::Phone …

end end

I’m using rails 4.2.9, but i tried to update to 5.0.2 and it still giving me this bug, I still haven’t tried using rails >= 5.1


Also, sorry if my english doesn't make much sense, i'm from Brasil

I think you could solve your problem by explicitly writing all modules and moving the file in the appropriate foder, this should solve your autoloading issues. For example for Pes::Person::Phone you should do this:

module Pes

module Person

class Phone

end

end

end

and you need to put this file into pes/person/phone.rb
