Thank you! This smells like a bug to me. From what I remember the intention of the implementation of dependencies.rb is to create intermediate modules as needed, and dynamically put the constants where they belong. So (talking from memory) I'd expect the first const_missing to fail. I'll have a llok at it it. -- fxn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
