Rails core - Aug 2006 - Problems with new dependency code and plugins

Hi, something has been checked into Rails edge recently, something I  
to do with the new dependencies system I suspect, that completely  
breaks the loading of one of the  plugins I''m working on, the  
unobtrusive_javascript plugin (though I don''t think this is isolated  
to our plugin - see the comments on http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/ 
2006/8/11/reloading-revamped/).

The plugin''s init.rb requires all of the necessary files, one of  
which is vendor/plugins/unobtrusive_javascript/lib/ 
unobtrusive_javascript.rb - this file contains a module called  
UnobtrusiveJavascript.

This module contains a method which needs to be used in the routes.rb  
file, UnobtrusiveJavascript::routes. This worked fine before. However  
it fails to work and I get the following strange error:

Expected /Users/luke/Sandbox/projects/rails_plugin_repository/ 
config/../vendor/plugins/unobtrusive_javascript/lib/ 
unobtrusive_javascript.rb to define UnobtrusiveJavascript

The problem doesn''t seem to be related to the method being called in  
routes - if I remove the line it fails to find the apply_behaviour  
method which is in PLUGIN_ROOT/lib/unobtrusive_javascript/helpers.rb,  
inside a module called UnobtrusiveJavascript::Helpers. These helpers  
are injected in the init.rb file:

ActionController::Base.send(:helper, UnobtrusiveJavascript::Helpers)

Again this did use to work.

Is there something wrong with my code - is there something I need to  
update? Or is this a bug in the new dependencies mechanism?

Hello Luke,

I get the same kind of error in the test environment:

Expected D:/wwwroot/cn.staging.teksol.info/app/models/email_activity.rb
to define ::EmailActivity

The file looks like:

class EmailActivity < Activity
  ...
end

Nothing earth shattering here.  All my other tests pass.

This exception is raised an integration test.

This is on Rails r4777.

Bye !

Moreover, I get the following error in my test environment:

LoadError: Expected /Sites/mizmor/app/models/magazine.rb to define  
Magazine

After I check, it happens because I got the following at the start of  
magazine.rb:

require_dependency ''feature''

This probably raises, but Dependencies fails to report that there is  
a problem with this statement, so the error messgae is somewhat  
misleading. I would appreciate to get the original exception up the  
stack to know where to dig.
