Rails 2.2rc2: ArgumentError - Anonymous modules have no name to be referenced by

Rails
1

If you convert your Rails 2.1 app to Rails 2.2RC2, you’ll see this
fancy error message as soon as you start script server:

ArgumentError “Anonymous modules have no name to be referenced by”

Stack trace will lead you to dependencies.rb:572

Solution:
Rename your application.rb to application_controller.rb

All will be well after that. Though a friendlier error message would
be very nice. I imagine a majority of Rails developers will run into
this problem.

Hope this helps…

This SHOULD not happen for 2.2 RC2 because 2.2 already has a separate
branch. And renaming application.rb → application_controller.rb is an
edge only change.

Ah, ok. My bad. I grabbed trunk instead of RC2
