[Rails] Re: Mountable engine - Problem with autoload_paths

Hi guys,

Answering my own question in case it helps others.

Devise is considered a kind of "reference" Engine, and the way they do
it is in lib/devise.rb, they use autoload for the classes defined in
their lib folder. For instance:

autoload :Delegator, 'devise/delegator'

It worked for me.

Thanks
PJ
