Same class name in STI, with different namespaces

Question

I have something like this

class A < ActiveRecord::Base
# Parent class
end

class B < ActiveRecord::Base
# Parent class    
end

# models/a/x.rb

class X < A

end

# models/b/x.rb

class X < B

end

# application.rb

config.autoload_paths += Dir[Rails.root.join('app', 'models', '{**}')]

I need to reference X::B, but still the X from the A's namespace gets referenced. Is there anyway to achieve this, or I just need to change my X's class name?

Thanks

Answer 1

File structure itself can't define namespace at all. You need to write the constant accordingly.

# models/a/x.rb
class A::X < A

# models/b/x.rb
class B::X < B

Also, in Rails 3 there is no need to define loading path of any files inside /app, not sure how Rails 4 works but I guess it should be similar. If so your last line is unnecessary as well.
