Hello,

I want to give ActiveResource a spin.

I have all the code checked out from SVN in vendor/rails (yes, including  
ActiveResource).

I’m trying to make sure it gets loaded.

I did this in environment.rb:

config.load\_paths += %W( #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/activeresource/lib )

Unfortunately I still can’t use it. I have an ActiveResource derived  
model,  
Address:

class Address \< ActiveResource::Base  
self.site =  
“[http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=:lat&lng=:long](http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=:lat&lng=:long)”  
end

When I try to use it, I get the trace below.

Any ideas? Help very much appreciated.

Loading development environment.

Sheesh, now I feel silly.

Rick had mentioned environment.rb and I never even though about just  
doing  
this.

Anyway, thanks.
