“not a valid constant name” errors

The problem with renaming the github repository is that every watching user on github would have to un- and then re-subscribe to it -- and it is the second-most watched plugin.

So, unless this can be fixed on the rails end I'm afraid everyone will have to just rename the restful-authentication folder to "restful_authentication" from now on.

ok, so what's are we supposed to do to make this work, please? I have just done a first-time install of the github into a virgin project to try this out and get the above whenever either raking or generating so if (1) renaming is necessary but (2) renaming is to be avoided, yet (3) the issue is on "hold", can someone enlighten me, please?

Many Thanks, -cbs

(ruby 1.8.6 p111, rails 2.1.0)

Just rename the folder

• vendor/plugins/authentication-plugin

to have underscore (not dash):

• vendor/plugins/authentication_plugin

The bug is on 'hold' because we'd need to somehow get the several-hundred watchers, and who knows how many who have git remotes tied to this, to move to the new URL.

(Oh, I just realized your confusion. The repository can't be renamed because of its many watchers. The folder on your machine you can do anything you like to. I've edited my comment above. So, to the Jetpack-Wearing People of the Future: cbs had every right to be confused by comment#2 as it originally stood.)

thanks, mrflip, i'm getting much better now...

This will finally be fixed in 2.2 final - commit http://github.com/rails/rails/co... fixes this problem (I tested it..)

Having both repo names is an overkill? =)
