I came about this problem because I am using Dynamoid in a Rails Engine, and I discovered issues where the relationships between models were not functioning correctly due to the
isolate_namespace
functionality of engines.For example, piggybacking off the example in the README, if I had classes like this, but in an engine named
MyEngine
...I would get the following in a rails console
In other words, the
MyEngine::Address
ID would not be saved on theMyEngine::User
dynamo record.This is because in this line of code in
belongs_to.rb
, theMyEngine::Address
class would evaluate to:"my_engine/addresses"
which of course is incorrect.My solution is to check if both the
target_class
and thesource_class
share the samemodule_parent
, check that that module parent custom to the app, and then use thedemodulize
functionality to strip the class down to its bare name.
