How does the lib folder work in Rails 3? In Rails 2.x you would add require statements in application.rb, fx: /lib blip.rb # blip.rb puts "BLIP" # application.rb ... require ''blip'' --- But using the same approach doesn''t work in Rails 3. How do I configure this so that blip.rb is loaded when I start Rails, fx using $ rails s ? Haven''t been able to find any info on this in the blogosphere...

OK, it seems it works using autoload, being lazy loaded when accessed.
But what if I want to force it to be loaded when rails starts?
Appending a require ''blip'' in application.rb I am told no such
file
exists!? Would I have to insert it in an initializer?
# lib/blip.rb
puts "Blip loaded!"
class Blip
def self.blip
puts "Blip Blip!"
end
end
$ rails console

Yes, it worked by inserting the require statements in the initializers.
