If I do:
rails generate scaffold account/user username
I get a controller that looks like this:
class Account::UsersController < ApplicationController
def index
@account_users = Account::User.all
end
...
end
If I include the Account Module, then it looks like all the database calls don't need to be prefixed with "Account::". I.e.
class Account::UsersController < ApplicationController
include Account
def index
@account_users = User.all #this works because I included the Account Module above
end
...
end
Now if I were to move my
controllers/account/users_controller.rb
file to:
controllers/admin/account/users_controller.rb
The file looks like this (note: I also corrected my routes file after this move):
class Admin::Account::UsersController < ApplicationController
include Account
def index
@account_users = User.all #this call does not work now
end
...
end
But I get an error saying "uninitialized constant Admin::Account::UsersController::User"
It looks like rails is trying to make a database call on the "User" model without the "Account::" module in front of it.
So how does including modules in controllers work? Why does this not work when I move my controller into a different file (and leave the model in the same location from the generated scaffold) but it works with the scaffold generated files? How can I fix this issue?
