It's not to do with requiring (you can get rid of that require
'constants') it's to do with where the module is included.
You could just write Constants::FOO in your view.
Alternatively,
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include Constants
helper Constants
end
might work (but slightly abusing the helper method)
