Class name conflicts in module

Question

I am implementing a client web application that connects to an API using Omniauth, following instruction here

I have a class defined in a nested module in /lib/omniauth/strategies/testservice.rb

module OmniAuth:: Strategies
    class Testservice < OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth2
      option :name, :testservice
    end
end

When I invoke the following in Rails console:

require File.expand_path('lib/omniauth/strategies/testservice', Rails.root)

it will fail.

However, if I shorten the name of the class Testservice to a single word, such as Test , then it works.

I suspect that my class name conflicts with Rails naming convention. I can't create the class name as TestService due to some constraints from Omniauth gem.

How can I overcome this issue?

Answer 1

In case of conflicts use fully qualified class name ie along with the package name something like com.test.Test . It will help you to avoid the conflicts

Answer 2

Adding OmniAuth.config.add_camelization 'testservice', 'TestService fixes the issue. See more here
