Cannot require models...

[lephyrius]

I tried in the mailman.rb : require './app/models/user.rb'

For accessing the user models in my rails app. But it doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong or should I duplicate the functions? Or do I need some other kind of refactoring?

[johncant]

Please can you explain more about what you're doing?

[lephyrius]

I created a mailman.rb in the initializers directory:

# Some mailman setup removed.

Mailman::Rails.receive do

  default do
    begin
      Mailman.logger.debug message.to_s
      MailLog.receive message
    rescue Exception => e
    Mailman.logger.error "Exception occurred while receiving message:\n#{message}"
    Mailman.logger.error [e, *e.backtrace].join("\n")
    end
  end

end

This works perfectly in development. But when I run this is production with my capistrano script:

cd #{current_path} && export RAILS_ENV=#{stage} && bundle exec rake mailman:start 

It gave me the error: "MailLog" not found. So the first thing I tried was to just:

require './app/models/mail_log.rb'

Require the models needed.

I actually don't know. My application uses Mailman::Rails in the same way, but I don't need to require my models explicitly. I'd be grateful if you could take a look through the (small amount of) code in this gem and see if there is anything that would conflict with your setup, and also post your Mailman version and Rails version.

Thankyou!

[lephyrius]

Then I know that im not crazy! Im using: Mailman 0.6.0 (No git branch) Rails 3.2.13

I don't see anything conflicting I get: "uninitialized constant MailLog" I will check the code another round but I havn't found anything right now that would conflict.

[johncant]

Mailman changes the scope in its various blocks, so my suggestion would be to try ::MailLog .

[lephyrius]

Tried it but gave me the same old error:

i am having the exact same problem.. i can't seem to use any of my models.. should models be accessible inside the set mailman.rb?

[johncant]

Did you resolve this? Pull requests welcome....

I was getting the same error and I saw that you did require './app/models/mail_log.rb' but since my and yours mailman config is in config/initializers directory, this wouldn't work. I just changed it to require Rails.root.join('app','models','mail_log.rb') and now it works as expected.
