Expected to define. When calling class inside a module

Question

I new to rails. I have a setup in the lib directory like so:

lib/
   blog/
     core/
        search/
            base.rb

The base.rb defin

Answer 1

I had the same problem. It comes from the fact that you try to load /lib/blog/core/search/base.rb directly in application.rb with /lib/**/

Error I had:

Expected /[...]/myapp/lib/durative/base.rb to define Base (LoadError)

Directory structure:

lib/
 --durative/
   --base.rb

base.rb:

module Durative
  class Base
    def initialize(config)
       @config = {}
    end
    #...
  end
end

application.rb:

config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{config.root}/lib/**/"]

Here are the changes I made to make it work

Directory structure:

lib/
 --durative.rb **(added)**
 --durative/
   --base.rb

durative.rb:

require 'durative/base'

base.rb (no change)

application.rb (changed):

config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{config.root}/lib/"]

Tell us if it worked for you too.
