Including a Module before validations cancels validations

[victorbstan]

I have found that if I include a simple module from the lib folder in a Model, it cancels all validations if i include it at the top of the file. I have to include it bellow all validations to make it not cancel validations.

Also, I can't call the code in the Module although it is 'detected' and no error of missing method is thrown...

I have also tested with just including an empty module in a model and this also cancels all validations.

class Collection < ActiveRecord::Base
require MyAutoSort

Is this normal?

I'm not sure why you're not getting error messages but your code is wrong - it should be:

require 'my_auto_sort'

class Collection < ActiveRecord::Base
  include MyAutoSort
  # Rest of model code
end

In future can you please use the [Ruby on Rails: Talk][1] mailing list for support
