    <p>In my app I use an engine (blogit) to which I want to add some changes / behaviours.</p> <p>I followed the guides on how to override engine controllers/models and added the following:</p> <h1>The Code</h1> <p>In <code>config/initializer/blogit.rb</code></p> <pre><code># Requires extension ruby files in lib/blogit. Dir[Rails.root.join("lib/blogit/*.rb")].each {|f| require f} </code></pre> <p>In <code>lib/blogit/engine.rb</code></p> <pre><code>module Blogit class Engine &lt; ::Rails::Engine isolate_namespace Blogit config.to_prepare do Dir.glob(Rails.root + "app/decorators/**/blogit/*_decorator*.rb").each do |c| require_dependency(c) end end end end </code></pre> <p>In <code>app/decorators/controllers/blogit/comments_controller_decorator.rb</code></p> <pre><code>Blogit::CommentsController.class_eval do def create Rails.logger.info "decorated controller action" # ... overridden stripped ... end end </code></pre> <p>In <code>app/decorators/models/blogit/comment_decorator.rb</code></p> <pre><code>Blogit::Comment.class_eval do belongs_to :user end </code></pre> <p>To be mentioned:</p> <ul> <li>I have also created a migration to add a user reference to the comments model, since my app uses devise and I only want logged_in users to be able to comment. (Therefore I don't need the standard behaviour, so I'm going to override it.)</li> </ul> <h1>The Problem</h1> <p>If I run <code>rake</code> I get the weird error:</p> <pre><code>/Users/Kassi/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p392-railsexpress/bin/ruby -S rspec ./spec/controllers/home_controller_spec.rb ./spec/models/user_spec.rb /Users/Kassi/demo/app/decorators/controllers/blogit/comments_controller_decorator.rb:3:in `&lt;top (required)&gt;': uninitialized constant Blogit::CommentsController (NameError) </code></pre> <p>However, if I run the first line that rake mentions by hand (<code>.../ruby -S ...</code>), all tests are being run successfully.</p> <p>In my project I'm using <em>guard</em> with <em>spork</em>. Running guard will also let the tests pass without any error.</p> <p>The app itself runs fine, i.e. it starts without errors and I'm able to comment as I want. My decorator action code is being executed.</p> <p><strong>So what's different when running <em>rake</em>?</strong> <strong>Why does it break?</strong></p> <p>Note:</p> <ul> <li>Adding <code>require "blogit"</code> or <code>require "blogit/comments_controller"</code> doesn't help. It actually can't find the controller using <em>require</em>.</li> </ul> <h1>A Demo Application</h1> <p>Since this problem is part of a bigger project, I created a new app from scratch for testing purposes that contains only the relevant stuff: basic rails app, rspec, devise, blogit and the decorators.

    1. COLooks like an issue with rspec. I created a second demo repo using test unit (rails 3.2.14) where running tests using rake works perfectly: https://github.com/kassi/decorator_demo_testunit

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
