Rails - May 2007 - Observers not working because of AR Plugins? (Rails = 1.2.3)

Hi list,

I''ve tried to implement a simple Observer to log changes to my objects.
Whenever I try to enable the observer in my environment.rb, my application 
refuses to start.

Here''s what''s in my environment.rb:

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
   config.active_record.observers = :audit_observer
end


It seems, that rails can''t find the plugins used in the observed
models.  This
was a problem in older rails version (see 
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/4684), but I''m using rails 1.2.3,
so
this is already included. 

As nearly all my models ar using some plugins, what can I do to get observers 
working?


Here''s the mongrel output:

=> Booting Mongrel (use ''script/server webrick'' to force
WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3005
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3005

ok, I was looking into the wrong version of environment.rb.

It looks like this:

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  config.plugins = ["engines",  "*"]
  config.active_record.observers = :audit_observer
end

I really wonder, why config.plugins = ["engines",  "*"] is
causing the error?
Shouldn''t all plugins get loaded before the observer gets activated?


When I put all plugins into that config.plugins Array, it seems to work. So, 
why does "*" does not work?

Timo
