rspec users - Nov 2008 - concerned_with, and maybe require_dependency issues only when running specs?

Hi all,

So in the interests of keeping a few areas of my code a bit under control,
I''ve been investigating the concept of "concerned_with" as
described here:

http://paulbarry.com/articles/2008/08/30/concerned-with-skinny-controller-skinny-model

Basically allowing me to have:

/app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  concerned_with :something
end

/app/models/user/something.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  def something_method
     do_it
  end
end

I realize that there might be better ways to deal with this same
issue...some of my code might be better off in separate classes, or modules,
etc, but for now I''m hoping to try this out. And it''s working
working great
in my code, when I run the server, script/console, etc...

....everywhere except in my specs.

And, its working in my actual model spec just fine
(spec/models/user_spec.rb).

But where it''s not working is in other specs that end up using the user
model, such as some controller specs, and view specs where things
aren''t
fully stubbed/mocked out.

It seems like in those other specs, the User class doesn''t have
"something_method" defined. (the failure message is undefined_method
"something_method" for #<Class:0x243626c>

Anybody have any ideas? I have a feeling it''s related to
require_dependency
or something, but I''m not really sure. I''ve turned on logging
in
require_dependency, and it seems like the files are being required. Any help
would be great, thanks!

We are having the same issue. It works fine when config.cache_classes is 
on. but when its turned off stuff breaks. The extra files are no longer 
parsed.

concerned_with seems to have an issue with eager loading. Right now 
we''re looking at alternatives.
