ActiveRecord model loading for STI fails unless require parent defined

Reported by: smartoc..@gmail.com Assigned to:

Component: Merb Keywords: STI
Cc: ivey@gweezlebur.com

Description

In ActiveRecord? STI does not require a require statement of the parent class to load models. In Merb if the child class appears before the parent alphabetically the model will fail to load instead of looking for the parent.

It may be Merb policy that require statements are used in child models, but this is common practice that will make the rails -> merb transition slightly harder.
