Hello,
I wanted to convert an Engine (in casu the RikiEngine) into namespaces,
to avoid naming clashes. I did this as I thought it should be done: I
created in the view, model and controller directory seperate riki_engine
directories, and renamed the classes to for instance
class RikiEngine::LibraryController < ApplicationController
Everything seems to work, but until I try to access a method which is
defined in the riki_engine directory under lib (the
riki_engine_helper.rb). In there things are defined as:
module RikiEngine
def foo
end
end
When I call foo from a controller method, or from within a view, it is
unknown, whereas previously, there was no problem. So obviously there is
a namespace problem here. I tried several things, without success.
Mainly because I don’t get the bottom line of namespace yet. Can
somebody shed a light on this problem, if only the solution?
And related to this problem, what is the opinion on putting engines
immediately in their own namespace? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind
doing it manually, and I can imagine that automating this might be more
difficult, in comparison to the two minutes of doing it manually.
Thanks!
Bart
