Rails - Jan 2006 - UserEngine - rake bootstrap aborted => undefined method `synchronize_with_controllers'' for Permission:Class

Good day all.

I have successfully installed Engines and LoginEngine and LE is setup and
running correctly.
However, after installing and setting up UE, when attempting to run the rake
bootstrap method I get the following error:

undefined method `synchronize_with_controllers'' for Permission:Class

My environment is
Rails 1.0.0
Ruby 1.8.2
WinXP
WebBRICK
MySQL 4.1.14

I found the following in a thread about making changes to the
user_engine/app/models/permission.rb and have done this:

BEFORE CHANGE:
# we need to load all the controllers...
      controller_files.each do |file_name|
        require file_name #if /_controller.rb$/ =~ file_name
      end

AFTER CHANGE:
# we need to load all the controllers...
      controller_files.sort.each do |file_name|
        require file_name #if /_controller.rb$/ =~ file_name
      end

I also made the change in the KNOWN ISSUES page of UserEngines regarding the
addition of the following lines in the appropriate place:
guest.save
admin.save
user.save

Other than this, I can''t find anywhere that anyone else has reported
this
issue.
Has anyone seen this or experienced this type of issue before?

Thanks,
~damon

What was this change meant to solve? I can''t imagine what sorting the
controller file names would do, but anyway...

If you have the latest version (downloaded any time in the past... two
weeks probably) you shouldn''t need this change. The calls to save are
in the rake file, and raise exceptions if they fail.

It might be worthwhile deleting and re-downloading your copy of the
user_engine directory, this sounds very odd. If you inspect the
Permission class (user_engine/app/models/permission.rb) you should see
the method right at the top.

I appreciate the quick reply.
Now, for your questions:

On 12/9/2005  in another thread on rake bootstrap this was listed as needing
to be done:
n method synchronize_with_controllers find lines that say:

# we need to load all the controllers...
controller_files.each do |file_name|

and add a sort call in the second one:

# we need to load all the controllers...
controller_files.sort.each do |file_name|

Remove comments from the UserController and everything should work fine.

There is a dependency between UserEngine and LoginEngine which is not taken
into account while loading controllers. It is just a quick hack but works
for now.

It would be nice to have some way of specyfying dependencies between
engines... On the other side it might unnecessary complicate things.
Something to think about later ;)

I thought this as well. Therefore, I completely removed the  user_engine
directory and re-downloaded it.
Once again, running ''rake bootstrap'' from
vendor/plugins/user_engine
directory produced the same error as before.

I''m not sure what the dependency is that you are referring to - could
you clarify? But anyway...

Have you looked through your logs to see if there was a problem
starting either of the engines? Post as much detail from the logs as
you have - full error messages, etc

That quote you are referring to came from the person posting to the list who
suggested that change.
It was NOT my quote :)

Doesn''t appear to be any errors when starting the enginges:
