My libraries in lib folder is not loading for Rails3!!!

Is it a bug?...NO

In Rails 3 it does not automatically load files in lib folders. . If you create any module/class in lib folder and try to use it, the server will throw an "uninitialized constant Modulename (NameError)". You have to manually include the modules which you want to use.

The possible reason for this behaviour is:

• This makes a Rails application behave more closely to any Ruby project, leaving the autoload to directories specific to Rails .
• Increasing performance.
• Autoloading in lib was always causing some pain, since some people had files like "employee.rb" but there was no "employee" module defined it.

There is solution to unable this feature again:

Put this in application.rb

config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)

config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{config.root}/lib/**/"]
