Question

In my rails 3.2 project, I have some controllers like this:

/app/controllers/application_controller.rb
/app/controllers/college/application_controller.rb
/app/controllers/college/actors_controller.rb

The content of /app/controllers/college/actors_controller.rb like:

class College::ActorsController < College::ApplicationController
end

The content of /app/controllers/college/application_controller.rb like:

class College::ApplicationController < ApplicationController
  before_filter do
    puts "welcome"
  end
end

If I modify the controller, reload the web browser.
The console can be output string “welcome”.
But when I shutdown the webrick, and restart webrick, then reload the web browser, the console doesn’t output “welcome”

It looks like College::ApplicationController not be loaded ?

And how can I fix it ?

Answer 1

We ran into something similar and fully defined class definitions solved our problem.

It’s worth trying to change

class College::ActorsController < College::ApplicationController

to

class College::ActorsController < ::College::ApplicationController

and

class College::ApplicationController < ApplicationController

to

class College::ApplicationController < ::ApplicationController
