Where do I put Sinatra files intended to be embedded in a Rails3 app?

Question

I want to use the new Rails3 feature that allows you to embed a Sinatra app inside rails.

In my routes file, I have:

# app names changed to protect the (not so) innocent
MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
  match "/service", :to => MyService
  ...
end

And in /lib/my_service.rb I have

class MyService < Sinatra::Base
  get "/" do
    "Hello World"
  end
end

When I try to start the Rails server I get Uninitialized constant MyService (NameError), which I suspect means my Sinatra file is in the wrong directory. Where am I supposed to put it?

Answer 1

I found a good answer for this question, thanks to this article.

I was missing the all important requires header at the top of my routes file:

require 'my_service.rb'

# app names changed to protect the (not so) innocent
MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
  match "/service", :to => MyService
  ...
end
