Mongrel users - Oct 2006 - works with webrick,lighty, not mongrel

Hello,
  I''ve been working away to setup mongrel as my production server,
however I
am running into an odd problem and am not sure where to investigate for the
answer.

  When I run using mongrel_rails start most things work fine, but a I get a
few inexplicable undefined method errors, for example:

undefined method `send_qbxml'' for #<Sync:0x2aaaafa7aa78>

The method is definitley there, and can be accessed from console.  Further,
I tried running with webrick, and it worked as expected.  I tried lightty
and it worked.

I am hoping to both get this working, and understand why such an error would
occur.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks a lot,

Michael Fairchild

In your application do you have a class called Sync with a method  
called send_qbxml? Mongrel uses Sync from the Ruby Std Lib. It looks  
to me that you have a name collision here.

Zed is using the Sync class from the Standard Library and you are  
using a class also named Sync. Those wont play well together. Your  
best bet would be to rename your class to something that doesn''t  
exist in the Ruby libraries and watch out for that in the future.

Thats because naming clashes... try put your Sync class implementation
inside a module, that will clear the global namespace for the ruby
standard Sync class.

module MyApp
  class Sync
  ...
  end
end

In that way, both Sync will co exist friendly, and to call your Sync
class you will need to do:

MyApp::Sync instead of plain "Sync".

Hope that clears the image about the issue.
