Color is not a module

Rails

Color is not a module
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/color-1.4.0/lib/color.rb:19

Gems installed in application:
pdf-writer 1.1.8 + color 1.4.0 + color-tools 1.3.0
can happen to any pdf-writer version and in any OS (tested on XP/
Ubuntu/Debian/FreeBSD)

I have two models:

require ‘pdf/writer’
require ‘pdf/writer/graphics’
require ‘pdf/simpletable’
class ModelA < ActiveRecord::Base
end
In this model i generate pdf’s.

AND:
require ‘RMagick’
include Magick
require ‘rvg/rvg’
class ModelB < ActiveRecord::Base
end
And in this model i generate images’s.

Problem are raised when i added ModelB rmagick support.
I was unable to use pdf generator(ModelA) as well as ModelB.

After some research i found that if i remove requires from ONE OF
model, other model is working well …

Temporary i removed ModelB requirements (generating images from
another place).
Looking for solution …

Does removing include Magick (or moving it inside the ModelB class
help) (obviously you may then need to say Magick::Blah rather than
Blah for some things) ?

Yes i’ve tried it - if i remove Magick requirement then pdf model
working, and vice versa.
Problem that Magick having its Color class Magick::Color that is
override on module Color (color gem)

So current my solution is to generate image elsewhere…

Just don’t import Magick into the toplevel namespace and you’ll be ok.
