Rails core - May 2006 - Circular dependency issue in startup

Hi all !

I am adding observers to some model objects.  One of these uses
RailsCron.  RailsCron adds a class method to ActiveRecord::Base. 
Unfortunately, during the initialization phase, plugins aren't yet
loaded, so I can't setup my observers in config/environment.rb, as
suggested by the comments.

What's a poor dev to do ?

At the moment, I have fallen back to this:

# Require all models, to speed things up in production and to setup
# all RailsCron tasks, observers.
Dir['app/models/**/*.rb'].each do |f|
  require File.basename(f)
end

Thanks !

Not sure if rails-core is the best list to discuss this...  Anyhow,
I'll take a look at the code and see if I see the problem.

It''s probably not, but that''s what  config.after_initialize {
} is for.
