Rails lib includes

Question

Hello

I have a puzzling issue regarding modules defined in the lib dir

I have two files

#lib/authentication.rb

module Authentication

end


#lib/test_module.rb

module TestModule

end

In my application controller I have

 class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
     include Authentication
     include TestModule
 end

The Authentication Module loads properly but the TestModule does not

I get "uninitialized constant ApplicationController::TestModule"

I am stumped... anyone?

EDIT: Does anyone know where I could look to debug this?

Adding require 'lib/test_module' at the top of your ApplicationController file might help
