Namespace conflicts

ruby-talk
1

Good morning, everyone.

I'm curious as to how I can resolve some namespace conflicts. I'm writing a
Rails app (although this problem should be agnostic), and wrote a Payment
model (which is a class for those that don't use Rails) for my app.

I also have need to use the Payment gem from ruby forge, which uses
'Payment' as the name for the module.

I obviously have a conflict here, but I'm wondering if anyone has any
interesting ideas as to how I can solve it.

As far as I see it, I'll need to rename one of the two objects.

Thanks to everyone,

Michael

Nest your app in it's own namespace?

module Gorsuch
   class Payment < ActiveRecord::Base
      ...
   end
end

Gorsuch::Payment.new #etc.
