Rails 5: autoloading with broken custom folders
I have this class:
# app/events/new_request.rb
class Events::NewRequest
end
And I added this folder to startup:
# config/application.rb
config.autoload_paths += %W( events/ )
And at startup rails c
:
> Events::NewRequest NameError: uninitialized constant Events
The thing is, if I don't use the Events namespace when defining a class, it automatically loads the class.

module Sandbox
class Application < Rails::Application
config.autoload_paths += [config.root.join('app')]
end
end
This will allow Rails to autoload Events::NewRequest
from app/events/new_request.rb
.
irb(main):001:0> Events
=> Events
irb(main):002:0> Events::NewRequest
=> Events::NewRequest
