Rails 3 - rails runner doesn't work here

Hi,

I'm currently playing with Rails 3 (I'm new to rails, coming from PHP
background). Everything works good so far, until yesterday, when I
tried to setup a cronjob.

The most common way to starting regular jobs seems to be using "rails
runner", right? So, as a test I've created a class "Mytest" in /vendor/
mytest.rb:

class Mytest
  def self.hello
     "hello world"
  end
end

Now, when I try to run this method in rails runner like:

shell# rails runner "puts Mytest.hello"

I get this response:

Hm, seems to be a problem in the older rails beta (the one you install
with 'gem install rails --pre').
With rails -v => Rails 3.0.0.beta1 the error disappears :wink:
