Hi there,

how do I execute a method in the Rails console if the controller  
containing the method is not located directly in the folder “app” but in  
the folder “app/user”?

> > MyController.mymethod

…would only work if the controller were located in the “app” folder.

Thanks for any hint!  
Tom

Ok, found the “bug”, had to call it like this:

User::MyController.mymethod

… and namespace the whole thing in routes.rb
