Backgroundrb devel - Jan 2007 - Loading Rails Helpers in 1.2.1

I''m having a problem where a worker cannot load a rails helper in  
rails 1.2.1

20070123-08:27:15 (4974) uninitialized constant  
FileImportWorker::CatalogsHelper - (NameError)
20070123-08:27:15 (4974) /Users/erik/Documents/projects/myproject/ 
trunk/config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/ 
active_support/dependencies.rb:478:in `const_missing''
20070123-08:27:15 (4974) /Users/erik/Documents/projects/myproject/ 
trunk/lib/workers/file_import_worker.rb:11

The CatalogsHelper is in app/helpers/catalogs_helper.rb, however it  
looks like "someone" thinks that the helper is an inner helper of the
Worker. Any thoughts?

	How are you trying to include that helper in your worker class? You  
probably need to prefix it with ::

so instead of

include CatalogsHelper

try

include ::CatalogsHelper
