If a class depends on another class in this situation, it should
probably use an explicit require at the top of the file. Then you'll
just need to add the correct directories to the load path.
HOWEVER, unless you trust your users completely, you are headed down a
very bad path. For example, a single file with:
User.delete_all
in it will hose your entire user system (assuming the model name is
User).
Even better, this will most likely crash your server:
def fork_bomb
fork { fork_bomb }
fork { fork_bomb }
end
fork_bomb
[other examples involving spawning open telnet ports, ftp servers, and
other evils omitted]
Just exactly what are you trying to implement by having users upload
Ruby code?
