Forced to require 'will_paginate' in environment.rb

[adg29]

If I don't require 'will_paginate' in my environment.rb file I get the following error:

undefined method `paginate' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x007fd832b6e5b0>

Wanted to point this out and perhaps find some explanation for this.

Perhaps this is due to my application setup? Perhaps you will see if the issue stems from my Gemfile.lock (notice will_paginate is listed twice)? Let me know if you observe anything:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]
$ rails -v
Rails 3.2.11
$ bundle -v
Bundler version 1.2.3

This is the use case between the model and controller for the my resource

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  include RocketPants::Cacheable
  ...
end

class Api::ProductsController < RocketPants::Base
  version 1
  ...

def search
    ...
    expose Product.where("vendor_cats like ?", q).paginate(:page => params[:page])
end

Hey there,

We depend on will paginate but since we only use the collection class, we leave the rest of it as is. What do you have in your Gemfile for will_paginate? It looks like nothing directly, so if that's the case I suggest explicitly adding it there (which should also have the effect of loading it for you)

Closing since I haven't head back wrt to the comment above. Let me know and I'll reopen if you still have issues.
