In Ruby, if you define a namespace class without defining the top-level class
first, you'll get an error:
1.9.3p125 :001 > class Foo::Bar; end
NameError: uninitialized constant Foo
from (irb):1
from /Users/justinko/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'
So as you can see from your backtrace, the error is generating from
confirmations_controller.rb, which makes sense because it has "class
Users::ConfirmationsController".
If you look further up the backtrace, you'll see activesupport trying to handle
that error with its `load_missing_constant` method. I assume it "searched" for
a file named "users", because the constant was named "Users". WTF doesn't cause
an error, because activesupport doesn't look for it.
Try renaming your namespace from "Users" to "User", which is a more appropriate
name IMO.
