how to include groupify in a rails engine

[nxia416]

Hi,

I am trying to use groupify in a rails engine. Now I have "require 'groupify' " in my engine.rb, however I keep getting the errors saying "undefined method `groupify'" from my active_record models. Do you have any suggestions for correctly including groupify in an engine?

Referring to the instructions here, did you do the following?

• Add groupify to your engine's .gemspec
• Require groupify before the engine's initialization?

FYI, in Rails Groupify is set up via a Railtie. The Railtie is required in groupify.rb, and the ActiveRecord adapter is required in railtie.rb.

If you're doing everything correctly in your engine, the problem could be a Railtie load order problem.

I created a sample Rails Engine using Groupify with setup instructions here:

I'll be adding this to the Groupify README.

Let me know if this helps solve your issue.
