Nope, despite my efforts to repro this earlier, it's started
happening again.
Check out the output from autotest:

The first time, I saved the controller, and it bombed. The second
time, I switched to the spec and saved that. Each time it looks as
though the same parameters are being passed to script/spec, but
something different is happening after that...
I've tried variously referring to the base class ::AdminController,
as Ben suggested but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Right now, it looks like
class Admin::CitiesController < ::AdminController
Perhaps the reason the spec works is that it shares some behaviour
with the AdminController specs:
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../spec_helper')
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../
admin_controller_spec')
describe Admin::CitiesController do
it_should_behave_like "all admin controllers"
... etc
I'm using ZenTest 3.10.0 / Rails 2.1 / RSpec 1.1.4
cheers,
Matt

Thanks for the tips Ben.
We upgraded to Rails 2.1 (from 1.x) on Friday and this seems to
have gone away. I'll report back though if I learn anything else.

I am writing a controller admin/cities_controller.rb
it inherits from AdminController, so it's defined like

Whenever I save the controller file, autotest freaks out:
uninitialized constant Admin::AdminController (NameError)
I'm pretty used to just hitting CTRL-C to get autotest to re-load
all
the files, or flicking to the spec file, and saving it to get a
similar effect.
But it is fairly irritating.
Any suggestions for how to hack autotest to get this to flow more
nicely?
Hmm... I am using namedspaced controllers on my current project
and I am
not running into those issues. I am using rspec edge, ZenTest 3.9.1,
and rails 2.1.0.
Have you copied your code exactly in your original email? If so, I
might see a difference in how we are doing things and that might
be your
problem.
My base controller is also namedspaced.. So in my app/controllers/
admin
dir I have the following:
base_contoller.rb:
module Admin
class BaseController < ::ApplicationController
....
end
end
Then:
other_controller.rb:
module Admin
class OtherController < BaseController
...
end
end
Note that I could also do:
base_contoller.rb:
class Admin::BaseController < ApplicationController
other_controller.rb:
class Admin::OtherController < Admin::BaseController
So.. If your AdminController is namespaced you should change your
other
controllers to:
class Admin::CitiesController < Admin::AdminController
If it is not namespaced (but, it really should be IMO) then you could
try this:
class Admin::CitiesController < ::AdminController
Hope that helps,
Ben
