Rename app>controller subfolder crashes app

Rails
1

Help,

I changed a folder name in my app>controller from admin to company and
now I get a company is not a class error.

I do not have any custom routes set and have changed all references to
admin, no joy.

Does ruby / rails have a cache of the names?

Kinda.

First things first: have you restarted the web server?

Where’s the error being thrown from? What’s the full error?

The error on the page is:

TypeError in #

Company is not a class

RAILS_ROOT: ./script/…/config/…

When I look at the full trace I get:

This error occured while loading the following files:
./script/…/config/…/app/controllers/company/accounts_controller.rb
./script/…/config/…/app/controllers/company/base_controller.rb
login_system_employee.rb
employee.rb
company.rb

I don’t suppose there were any line numbers mentioned? What does
accounts_controller.rb look like?

What URL are you trying to access that triggers this?

No line numbers are mentioned. I have run powerGrep to find all
instances of Admin in the entire project and replaced them with Company.
Still no joy.

I think that once you create a controller sub folder you are stuck with
that, it cannot be changed.

the URL i’m trying is: http://localhost:3000/company/accounts/login
Al the views have been changed & tests still not working.

Just a hunch: try http://localhost:3000/company/accounts/login/ and see
if that works.

No joy there. Thanks for your help. I think this is one for the lessons
learnt folder.

Result: still not resolved.
