    text
    copied!<p>I just created my first engine. It adds a couple of new routes like so:</p> <pre><code>Rails.application.routes.draw do scope :module =&gt; 'contact' do get "contact", :to =&gt; 'contacts#new' get "contact/send_email", :to =&gt; 'contacts#send_email', :as =&gt; 'send_email' end end </code></pre> <p>Then, in /websites/Engines/contact/app/controllers/contacts_controller.rb, I have:</p> <pre><code>module Contact class ContactsController &lt; ApplicationController # Unloadable marks your class for reloading between requests unloadable def new @contact_form = Contact::Form.new end def send_email @contact_form = Contact::Form.new(params[:contact_form]) if @contact_form.valid? Notifications.contact(@contact_form).deliver redirect_to :back, :notice =&gt; 'Thank you! Your email has been sent.' else render :new end end end end </code></pre> <p>I loaded it up in the client app's console to prove to myself some basics were working and quickly got this load error (which I then confirmed by reproducing the issue in a browser):</p> <pre><code>ruby-1.8.7-p302 &gt; Contact::Form.new =&gt; #&lt;Contact::Form:0x2195b70&gt; ruby-1.8.7-p302 &gt; app.contact_path =&gt; "/contact" ruby-1.8.7-p302 &gt; r = Rails.application.routes; r.recognize_path(app.contact_path) LoadError: Expected /websites/Engines/contact/app/controllers/contacts_controller.rb to define ContactsController </code></pre> <p>And there you have it; /contact gets to the engine's contacts_controller.rb but the fact the controller is inside the module Contact makes it unrecognizable.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
