I've changed the subject, as I think I'm honing in on the issues I'm running into -- the loading semantics of files in the initializers folder and files in the lib folder.
Is there anything to keep in mind when referencing classes in the lib folder from an initializer? It seems like the files are loaded multiple times, such that things like class variables and class instance variables are re-initialized. -Nathan On Sep 9, 3:40 pm, Nathan Beyer <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a trivial Singleton class in my 'lib' folder, which has some > instance variables that I setup by calling a configure method from an > initializer.
