Hello, i have a problem with autoloading model classes. I have had similar problems before when a file's name in Rails' opinion did not match with the name of the class defined inside, but eventually everything worked, so i didn't look into details. This time the problem comes from running Unit Tests and does not want to go away.
I have a model class KnownIP defined in a file named "known_ip.rb" (rather than "known_i_p.rb"). This file name was generated by the model generator, in i prefer it this way. In any case, the application works. The database table is called "known_ips". To my test_helper.rb i added set_fixture_class :known_ips => KnownIP, (otherwise it would guess "KnownIp"). Now, when it try to run Unit Tests, i get an error: LoadError: Expected .../known_ip.rb to define KnownIp. gems/activesupport-3.1.0.rc6/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:486:in `load_missing_constant' I looked into the source and experimented a bit. I would be ready to say that autoloading loads everything in the models directory, and KnownIP class gets defined just fine, but then Rails gets surprised that it has loaded a file named "known_ip.rb" but has no class named "KnownIp" (even though such class was never mentioned anywhere). However, if i rename known_ip.rb to foo.rb, Rails does not complain that "Expected .../foo.rb to define Foo", and everything works. But i am picky and do not want a class named "KnownIP" to be defined in a filed named "foo.rb". Can anybody please explain this or tell how to just load a file, without complains from Rails about what has not been defined inside? Thanks.
