Working with modules to group certain methods. Currently I have this set up and it works:
**# app/models/a.rb** class A has_history end **# lib/history.rb** module History module Model def self.included(base) base.send :extend, ClassMethods end module ClassMethods def has_history(options = {}) send :include, InstanceMethods end end module InstanceMethods # methods ... end end end **# config/application.rb** config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib) **# config/environment.rb** ActiveSupport.on_load(:active_record) do include History::Model end This works, the methods are mixed into the models. In a similar way, I wanted to package another set of methods with a different purpose in the same application and I followed the same approach: **# lib/history.rb** module Fleet module Model def self.included(base) base.extend ClassMethods end module ClassMethods def has_fleet(options = {}) send :include, InstanceMethods end end module InstanceMethods # methods ... end end end **# config/environment.rb** ActiveSupport.on_load(:active_record) do include History::Model include Fleet::Model end But, I don't think the module Fleet::Model is loaded and throws up errors when I do this in a model which is supposed to include this module: **# app/models/b.rb** class B has_fleet end I am unable to get around this and not sure what is going wrong here. Throws up the following errors: syed@rails:~/work/projects/mapunity/pinpoint$ rails c /home/syed/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activerecord-3.0.7/lib/ active_record/base.rb:1009:in `method_missing':
