Hey Frederick. Thanks for the tip. That makes sense. It turns out that
I didn't completely solve the problem of the plugin reloading, and I
think what you described is the culprit.
For some reason, ActsAsDashboard::ClassMethods is not being reloaded
for each request.
I tried your suggestion of changing the plugin's init.rb from this:
require 'acts_as_dashboard'
ActionController::Base.send :include, ActsAsDashboard
to this:
require 'acts_as_dashboard'
ApplicationController.send :include, ActsAsDashboard
However, every request other than the first results in this error:
"undefined local variable or method `acts_as_dashboard' for
DashboardsController:Class"
citing line 2 of app/controllers/dashboards_controller.rb :
1 class DashboardsController < ApplicationController
2 acts_as_dashboard
Might you know what needs to be done to get Rails to reload
ActsAsDashboard::ClassMethods for each request?
Thanks, mate!
