uninitialized constant [User]Observer
Reported by Al Arzaga | November 8th, 2009 @ 07:49 PM
So I installed the restful_authenticaiton plugin.
$ script/plugin install restful_authentication
Generated files using "Students" as my model (instead of the often-used "Users"). Note that I've added the --include-activation flag.
$ ./script/generate authenticated students sessions --include-activation
And after editing my environment.rb with the line:
config.active_record.observers = :student_observer # or whatever
you
I get the following output when trying to run script/server
$ ./script/server => Booting WEBrick => Rails 2.3.4

Sorry, I forgot to add that I'm running Rails 2.3.4 on ruby 1.8.7.

- Tag set to “aasm, restful_authentication”
I am having the same problem too.
I used --include-activation, --aasm, and --rspec flags.
Are the instructions incorrect? THe
config.active_record.observers = :user_observer
line seems to be for the --stateful option, which is no longer used (replaced by aasm)
Could it be that we should not be including the line in environment.rb anymore?
There certainly is no user_observer.rb in the models directory. After following the instructions.
Anyone?

I encountered this same problem when editing my environment.rb file to register an observer before having created it.
I simply commented it out, created the observer/installed the plugin, and restarted the server.
