Constant redefinition warning

Rails
1

I get a redefinition warning :

log warning =>
/Users/myself/Developpement/MyApp/vendor/plugins/globalize2/lib/myapp/
validations.rb:18: warning: already initialized constant
RoleTranslation

I am using the following code, apps is running well w warning
module Validations
def validate_translation_uniqueness_of(*attr_names)
translation_class = Object.const_set “#{self.class.name}Translation”,
Class.new(::ActiveRecord::Base){}
…

I tried now to avoid it writing :
translation_class = Object.const_set “#{self.class.name}Translation”,
Class.new(::ActiveRecord::Base){} unless defined?("#{self.class.name}
Translation")
but it fails … (obviously don’t like a string…)

I also tried:
translation_class = Object.const_set “#{self.class.name}Translation”,
Class.new(::ActiveRecord::Base){} unless defined?("#{self.class.name}
Translation".to_sym)

“#{self.class.name}Translation”.to_sym => :AccountingPeriodTranslation
which is also bad…

I need to have : #{self.class.name}Translation giving a class , how
should I write it ?

defined?(AccountingPeriodTranslation) =>“constant” is what I should
test (or any other xxxxTranslation class where xxxx is self.class

thanks for your help

I changed the creation + test to a simple get constant as it’s already
declared (being an ActiveRecord class created by Globalize plugin)

a simple :

globalize_class = Object.const_get “#{self.class.name}Translation”

gives me the class…
