ACL9 and Rails 2.3.8 - NameError: uninitialized constant User::Role

Question

I am running RVM (Ruby 1.8.7-head, Rails 2.3.8) and have the BASICS of a new app running. I have Authlogic working, with the minimal code to make that work. I am attempting to use ACL9 (which I have working on a different project, same RVM gemset)

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    # authentication
  acts_as_authentic
  
  # authorization
  acts_as_authorization_subject
  
  def full_name
    "#{self.first_name} #{self.last_name}"
  end
end

When I attempt to just run a simple check to make sure ACL9 is working properly...

script/console

u = User.first

u.has_role?(:anyrole)

I get this error...

ruby-1.8.7-head > u.has_role?(:anyrole)

I'm not sure why this works with every other app I have, but not this one - and I'm not sure what the error message is saying.. any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

  class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
    acts_as_authorization_role
  end
