Hello all, Documentation for helpers quite reasonably says that it''s "encouraged to bundle common compositions of methods from other helpers" - I take that to mean that one helper could be used to load a specific collection of others (but perhaps I misunderstand). http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionController/Helpers/ClassMethods.html What I''ve tried doing is something like this (for the sake of brevity I''m made everything generic - I hope I haven''t confused things by doing so): # from controller helper "my_mod/common" # from helpers/my_mod/common_helper.rb require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/helpers/other_helper" include MyMod::Helpers::OtherHelper module MyMod module CommonHelper end end # from helpers/my_mod/helpers/other_helper.rb module MyMod module Helpers module OtherHelper end end end Now, this actually works the first time I call a relevant page after starting the WEBrick server. However, on subsequent calls (like reloading the same page), I get this error: dependencies.rb:69:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant MyMod::Helpers Only if I use require_dependency instead of require does it work every time. I''m new to both Ruby and Rails - am I doing something wrong (like requiring/including in the wrong place - I did try moving it around the common_helper file a bit)? Is this something to do with the development environment? I guess I could keep the require_dependency there, but it just seems like it''s symptomatic of a bigger problem. Any light shed would be most appreciated.
