I have the following class that works fine as a controller: class Foo < ApplicationController def check unless cookies[:user_id].nil? logger.info("Cookies value is : #{cookies[:user_id]}") redirect_to "http://www.yahoo.com" else cookies[:user_id] = { :value => "198", :expires => 180.days.from_now } redirect_to "http://www.google.com" end end end When I try to convert it to Metal : class Foo < ActionController::Metal it complains about cookies method available I included the following line: include ActionController::Session::CookieStore it still gives me the same error. When the metal class is in the controller directory it is at least finding the class. If I move it to lib directory I get : uninitialized constant Foo error. I included the line: require File.expand_path(''../../../config/environment'', __FILE__) unless defined?(Rails) it still gives the same error. My questions are: 1) What do I need to include my metal class in order to use the cookies method in Rails 3.0 ? 2) Where should I save my Rails metal app class file? in the controllers or lib directory?
