Greetings. Apologies if I missed something like this in the archives or
internet, but I''m having issues using Ferret with Rails. Specifically,
I have a class class "Weight" in my application (it happens to be a
model). My app runs perfectly fine until it first executes "require
''ferret''". At that point, my definition of the class
"Weight" disappears and I get "uninitialized constant
Weight" errors. I see that Ferret also has a Weight class
(Ferret::Search::Weight) so I assume that Ferret isn''t playing nicely
with namespaces, although I assume that it''s caused by some interaction
between Rails and Ferret as it does not occurr in IRB.
Has anyone else come across an issue of Ferret trampling namespace? I have
tried putting the indexing code in a number of places within my app, and
"load"ing Ferret rather then "require"ing it, but loading
tends to fail to load Ferret.
Thanks for any insight. I am a Ruby and Rails nuby and am using Win32
(temporarilly), Ruby 1.8.2, Ferret 0.3.2, and Rails 1.0.0.
