Where is this file? I'm guessing that it's in app/models/sample_log/sample.rb ? > Instead, I have added the relevant directories to config.load_paths in > environment.rb.

However, it then throws an error: > > Expected R:/samplelog/app/models/sample_log/sample.rb to define > SampleLog::Sample What this is saying is that Rails tried to find a class or module SampleLog::Sample What rails does here is to look for samplelog/sample.rb somewhere in the various load paths. It's finding app/models/sample_log/sample.rb which if it indeed contains: class Sample < ActiveRecord::Base outside of a class or module block is definining ::Sample, not ::SampleLog::Sample. I'm guessing that moving app/models/sample_log/sample.rb to app/models/sample.rb will fix this. If not then show us the walkback you get on the error, it should point to some piece of code which is referring to some constant (name_space::)*Sample -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Github: http://github.com/rubyredrick Twitter: @RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
