Using methods in /lib while in script/console session

Rails
1

While I’m in a script/console session I want access to methods I’ve
defined in a utilities unit I’ve put in the project/lib directory. I’ve
tried requiring the unit and loading the unit but still don’t get the
methods. What’s the technique to use in this case?

Put them into a module.
For instance, I have lib/image_handler.rb.
module ImageHandler
def self.foo
puts ‘foo’
end
class Image
…
end
…
end

$ script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2)

ImageHandler
=> ImageHandler
ImageHandler::Image
=> ImageHandler::Image
ImageHandler.foo
=> “foo”
