I have come across a problem when I am trying to extend
ApplicationController with a .rb file containing a module inside /lib
folder.
The problem is, let''s say if I want to add a method called
authenticate inside ApplicationController using
ApplicationController.send(:include), I would do it as:
extension.rb
module Extension
module ClassMethods
...
end
def self.included(base)
base.extend(Extension.ClassMethods)
end
end
ApplicationController.send(:include, Extension)
This would work only if I put the require statement at the end of
application.rb, I want to know if there is any chance it would work
too if I want to put the require statement at the top?

Thats why its a difficult question :) I managed to fix it by extend ActionController::Base instead, I have seen plugins doing that.
