I'm fairly new to Ruby so bare with me if I'm just doing something foolish. I have a situation where I can access a module's functions from one file but not another. These files are both in the same directory. I'll try to recreate the code the best I can:
Directory Structure:
init.rb
lib/FileGenerator.rb
lib/AutoConfig.rb
lib/modules/helpers.rb
lib/AutoConfig.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'filegenerator'
require 'modules/helpers'
class AutoConfig
include Helpers
def initialize
end
def myFunction
myhelper #here's the module function
end
def mySecondFunction
FileGenerator.generatorFunction # call to the FileGenerator
end
end
lib/FileGenerator.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'modules/helpers'
class FileGenerator
include Helpers
def initialize
end
def self.generatorFunction
myhelper #here's the module function that doesn't work
end
end
lib/modules/helper.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
module Helpers
def myhelper
#Do Stuff
end
end
The AutoConfig file is the main workhorse of the app. When it calls to the myhelper
module function it gives me no problems what-so-ever. The AutoConfig part way through calls the FileGenerator.generatorFunction
.
The FileGenerator.generatorFunction
also contains this same module function, but for some reason when I run the program I get the following error:
filegenerator.rb:26:in `generatorFunction': undefined method `myhelper' for FileGenerator:Class (NoMethodError)
I've been at this now for several hours trying many different combinations and can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
