You are probably overwriting one of these. Changing your functions name should solve your problem. Or you could try calling 'super' in your function. I guess running ruby with warnings turned on will tell you if you are redefining the function. n8agrin@gmail.com wrote: > I spent a whole night trying to figure out why a module I was including > wasn't producing any results. > > I finally narrowed it down to this bit of code in the module: > > def self.included(base) > base.send :current_user, :logged_in?, :user? > end > > For some reason, commenting it out lets everything run fine, and it > seems that leaving it in causes the module to fail silently. > > Can someone explain to me what this is doing?
