This issue have already been fixed in trunk version of engines. My  
recomndation is not to use my patch, because it will not be supported in  
next versions of engines. It was only temporary solution for my  
application to run with Rails 1.1.6 and I decided to share it.  
Insted checkout trunk of engines - I have already created a new  
application with User and Login engines, and it works fine with latests  
(TRUNK) from engines.

FYI, the latest engines version is not in the SVN ‘trunk’ (that’s for  
ongoing development, and is currently broken), but is available via an  
SVN tag: [http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/tags/rel\_1.1.4](http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/tags/rel_1.1.4). It is  
also available via script/plugin as usual. Likewise, the ‘:edge’ flag  
is not required with Rails 1.1.4. Please see my earlier emails on the  
Rails list for more information.

Engines will not currently work with ‘Edge Rails’ (their SVN trunk),  
since there seems to be some major refactoring going on.

Is this still the case? Any anticipated time when engines will again  
work with edge?

Thanks,

Steve

One more think:

when checking out engines trunk version - set in your environment:  
module Engines  
config :edge, true  
end

I’m also wondering about this. Am trying to build an engine by  
extracting  
code from a RESTful-based app, so it has to work on Edge for me.

Thanks,
