The problem is that your extensions (in lib/blog_engine_ext.rb) are
only being loaded once, at the bottom of environment.rb (the require
statement).
When the system reloads, there's nothing to trigger the re-inclusion
of your code, and so the Post model ends up in a bit of a freaky
state.
The solution is simple; any kind of functionality injection should be
performed in a config.to_prepare block. This goes for the contents of
init.rb, along with the approach that you're taking.
I've changed environment.rb as below, and the app now works for every
subsequent request:
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
# etc
config.to_prepare do
# use load to ensure that the file is actually evaluated every
time
load 'blog_engine_ext.rb'
end
end
# no require needed.
Hope that helps,
