Engine.start order (user_engine)

I’m trying to use user_engine, and as suggested I load with:

Engines.start :login, :user

However, when I go to /user/list

I get a nil object error. Some use of breakpointer reveals that it
isn’t running the user_engine user_controller, but instead the
login_engine user_controller (which doesn’t have the list action). I
have also tried the 2 alternate methods of Engines.start, but no luck.
Here is my trace:

Hi Tim,

I’m working on a fix - in the meantime you can use

http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_engines/engines/tags/rel_1.0.1

… which shouldn’t exhibit this problem. I should have a fix later
today though - you might want to stay tuned to the engine-developers
list (on rforum, or at rails-engines.org)
