Rails is looking for ::Sample, not SampleLog::Sample (or so I would assume). If it finds (and loads) sample_log/sample.rb then all would be well. The problem seems to be that it is trying to be too clever. It finds the file, which defines the right class (::Sample), but decides that that file should be defining something else. > > Did you try just moving app/models/sample_log/sample.rb to > app/models/sample.rb as I suggested, I'm pretty sure that doing this, > and possibly removing the the stuff you did to monkey with the load > paths behind Rails back should fix your problem. > I am sure this will work. This is where I started from. It does not keep my models organised though! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
