Yes, exactly. That's the irony. The only way to get it working _in production_ (or test, as I discovered now) is to have no DB definition. Even though I don't derive from activerecord. That's rails 2.2.2, on 2 different machines so far. I've got a gem in, authlogic. By 'in production', I mean either: RAILS_ENV=production script/console Or the same with server (thin), getting no listing in html
> What was the name of your model, and did you define a class method or > an instance method? Did you have other plugins installed? It's a class method. Named all_noload, it returns []. I suspect it doesn't get called at all (I issued a print). Named 'humptydumpty', it works fine, as it does in development or test. Textually, both are the same except the name behind def. > Before you go too much farther, make a brand new Rails app and > duplicate the behavior there.

I couldn't reproduce in a brand new app . > Also can you tell us more about your production environment? You said > it works in all environments through the console, so now I wonder if No, that's not what I meant. Console is in line with the running instance, i.e. it works or not depending on environment. I tried to see if it's a function of the DB backend (prod uses mysql, dev is sqlite), but no luck. > you're running it through apache and trying to enumerate a dir that > the user has no access to on the file system. That's what I thought too, but the humtydumpty test shows it's a names problem. Are there known-good ways to deal with this class of problems? Greg's suggestion is fine but didn't get me far, especially since I don't derive from ActiveRecord::Base. For now, all_kingkong works, but I'd feel safer knowing what is going on. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
