How can I extend a module to a model class and use an instance of a custom class as a class instance variable for model such that when next request comes, custom class could be found and older instances are deleted?
This works in production mode or when I set config.cache_classes to true. Following is the idea:
/lib/base_sample/load_samples.rb
module BaseSample
module LoadSamples
attr_accessor :samples
def load_samples
@samples ||= Samples.new
# ..some work
@samples
end
end
end
/lib/base_sample/samples.rb
module BaseSample
class Samples
...
end
end
I extend LoadSamples to ActiveRecord::Base.
/config/initializers/extensions.rb
ActiveRecord::Base.extend BaseSample::LoadSamples
/app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
load_samples
end
The first page loads correctly, but subsequent requests gives following error:
ArgumentError in UsersController#new
A copy of BaseSample::LoadSamples has been removed from the module tree but is still active!
and points to line:
@samples ||= Samples.new

Any inputs on how to improve this so that I can work on it in dev-mode?
I am using Rails 2.3.8.
EDIT: Well, I dug deep into ActiveSupport::Dependencies and after few hours of debugging found out that Object could not find a constant named BaseSamples::LoadSamples. I removed the file extensions.rb, basically removed the line where I extended ActiveRecord::Base and directly extended User model. That way it worked.
Can anyone explain why LoadSamples loaded the first time properly but not the second time?
