I created my custom form builder (which inherits rails built-in form builder) name spaced under my app module. I also assigned this form builder to be the default action view form builder in the environment.rb. When I am starting the server, rails is throwing different errors some times saying unexpected kDEF expecting "<" or "\n" or ";" or some times saying unxpected $end expecting "<" or "\n" or ";" Following is the implementation of my code. lib/my_app.rb module MyApp VERSION = 1 end lib/my_app/form_builder.rb require ''my_app'' module MyApp class FormBuilder < ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder include MyApp::FormHelper end #end of class end #end of module lib/my_app/form_helper.rb require ''my_app'' module MyApp module FormHelper < ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper end #end of module FormHelper end #end of module MyApp and at the end of environment.rb (after initializer) ActionView::Base.default_form_builder = MyApp::FormBuilder Why is Rails not accepting my FormBuilder when I nest it under MyApp module? Btw: If I declare the FormBuilder as a standalone class, its working. Thanks in advance. -Satynos -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Any help is much appreciated. This insight will help me not just for subclassing built in form builder, but also to get a grasp of what is allowe and what is not allowed in Rails parlance. -Satynos -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
You''re making a module inherit from a class and this is wrong. Here''s an example of building a custom form builder -> http://onrails.org/articles/2008/06/13/advanced-rails-studio-custom-form-builder - Maurício Linhares http://alinhavado.wordpress.com/ (pt-br) | http://blog.codevader.com/ (en) On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 4:42 PM, Saty Nos <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Any help is much appreciated.

Mauricio: Thanks for the reponse. I didn''t quite get what you mean by I am making a module inherit from a class. MyAPP - is top level module MyApp::FormBuilder - is class within my module MyApp and inherits from builtin rails FormBuilder class MyApp::FormHelper - is module within my module MyApp. I don''t see where my class is being inherited from module. thanks in advance. -Satynos Maurício Linhares wrote:> You''re making a module inherit from a class and this is wrong. > > Here''s an example of building a custom form builder -> > http://onrails.org/articles/2008/06/13/advanced-rails-studio-custom-form-builder > > - > Maur�cio Linhares > http://alinhavado.wordpress.com/ (pt-br) | http://blog.codevader.com/ > (en) > > > > On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 4:42 PM, Saty Nos-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Fre: That was a typo. In my actual implementation FormHelper is a module and it doesn''t inherit the builtin FormHelper, but includes it. So there was no problem. The problem I was having is with the FormBuilder itself. I beleive there was other code files that were creating the problem. Once I create a new rails app from scratch, everything works fine. Thanks for all the feedback. -Satynos Frederick Cheung wrote:> On May 31, 1:59�am, Saty Nos <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote: >> I don''t see where my class is being inherited from module. >> > You''ve written > > module FormHelper < ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper > end > > which doesn''t make any sense - modules can''t inherit from anything. > > Fre-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
