Watch where you place those Camping constants!

Finally got that bastard Camping application to work properly. I kept getting a ERROR: wrong number of arguments (0 for 3) on the first request. Subsequent requests would sometimes succeed, sometimes not. The funny thing was, the get method was not even called yet!

With deep gratitude for ruby guru Remco van 't Veer who found out that you can not use constants in a Camping Controller (actually, I already knew it from a previous camping app, but I had stupidly forgotten it). Move it up to the main module and you're good to go.

Wrong

Camping.goes :Nowhere module Nowhere module Controllers MY_CONSTANT = 'wrong' # Camping going nowhere end end

Correct

Camping.goes :ForPresident module ForPresident MY_CONSTANT = 'fine' module Controllers end end

See my next post to see what this is all about.
