In other words, exactly right. We initially just force-loaded rails first and then over-rode its monkey patches, but then it started force-loaded all of the json libs so it could guarantee that its (incompatible) monkey patches won. At that point our only choice was to use different names. Yay rails. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
