Hello all,
I'm having a problem with some dynamic classes that I'm trying to use
in my development environment.
My app is creating some dynamic classes that descend from
ActiveRecord::Base. Now this part works fine, except that they only
exist for the life of one request in my development environment and
then they no longer exist. I'm calling a method from my
environment.rb to to do the initial class creation.
My current approach to recreating these classes is to use
const_missing if the classes aren't found, but I'm not having very
much success with this approach. I'm not sure this is even a safe
approach to solving my problem, so I was wondering if somebody (with
more in depth knowledge of how classes are reloaded) can give me a few
pointers on things I should be looking for, trying.
I can post some code if needed, but maybe there are some general
guidelines I should be following to begin with.
Thanks,
Andrew
Try the new dispatcher preparation callbacks:
Dispatcher.to_prepare :dynamic_models do
end
They are run during the 'preparation' phase, which is after everything
has been loaded. They'll run once during production, and before each
request in development mode.
