Rails 4 engine: uninitialized constant Person (NameError) when using generator #358

Open vmcilwain opened 8 years ago

vmcilwain commented 8 years ago

Ruby: 2.2.2 Rails 4.2.4 Rolify 4.1.1

Hello, I am attempting to create an engine which needs to use a role system. I added rolify to my gemspec file; bundle installed and ran the generator.

There wasn't any documentation on how to run this via a generator so I ended up finding out on stack overflow that the following code should have worked:

rails g rolify Authenticatable::Role Authenticatable::Person

However that does not seem to work. Digging around in the source a little bit I found the following commit that I think is supposed to fix this: https://github.com/RolifyCommunity/rolify/pull/243

But no matter what I try I get the following error: https://gist.github.com/vmcilwain/69952d9e64349b2b12a3

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just ran into this myself, it's seemingly undocumented outside of the linked PR but rails g rolify Role User engine (note the engine) should work. If you have Devise on that same model you also need to add devise to the end of the argument list like rails g rolify Role User engine devise

@NuckChorris Would you like to add this to the wiki? I'm not sure what can be done in Rolify to fix this but at least we can document the solution. @EppO Any ideas of solutions?

If the generator doesn't work for you in an existing setup, here is the simple line to add to your user.rb:

rolify :role_cname => 'MyEngine::Role'
