More or less it means "load this library and monitor the constants it defines". If your file follows Rails conventions it is picked up automatically and class reloading works out of the box. If the file does not follow them, for example "application.rb" would be called "application_controller.rb" if it did, you can still load it and get the benefits of automatic class reloading via require_dependency. I don''t know whether is meant for public consumption though, since it is not documented. Just follow Rails file naming conventions and let Dependencies do its job. -- fxn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks, By the way, and totally off-topic, to anybody wondering about the name "ghoti," if I recall correctly, it''s an alternate "spelling" of the word fish, using the gh from laugh, the o from women, an the ti from nation. It was constructed by somebody (I don''t remember who) a long long time ago complaining about spelling in English. I hadn''t thought of it in many years until I saw it here. :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

For example, if you define the User class in the file user.rb under app/models you don''t need to require ''user''. Note you would in regular Ruby. -- fxn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It applies to the contents listed in Dependencies.load_path, which in addition to app subdirs include lib and a few others. Check it out in the console. That list may be further customised via config.load_paths in environment.rb. -- fxn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
