The short answer - this is expected behaviour. While that might seem intuitively that it should work, the engines plugin won't support that type of behaviour - essentially because there's nothing the name 'application' (which is what gets passed to require_or_load) to indicate that this is a controller file, rather than a library or a model - from the name alone, it could be any ruby file.
The file 'application_helper' works because the Engines mechanism can determine that it is a helper automatically, and do the code mixing you might expect. - james On 3/21/06, Lance Ditkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A quick question: > > > If I drop methods into an my_engine/controllers/application.rb file > should they be picked up by the app using the engine?
