Redmine

Hello everyone,

I've started writing a Plugin to record a log of User downloads from the Files section. I have monkey-patched the download function in AttachmentsController using alias_method_chain which calls the original and then creates a new entry in a new database table download_logs. I am having a bit of a problem with an error.

The data saving works fine, but when I display the log entries with the controller index, I get a 500 error - but only the first time the page loads. Hitting refresh causes the page to load fine and show my table of logs, and it then works until I sign out (and maybe quit the browser, it always crashed first time after a server restart).

The download_logs_controller is:

class DownloadLogsController < ApplicationController
  unloadable

  before_filter :find_project, :authorize, :only => :index

  def index
    @project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
    @download_logs = DownloadLog.find(:all, :conditions => {:project_id => @project.id})
  end

  def log_download
  end

  def find_project
    @project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
  end
end

The first bit of the production.log is below, I have only taken the top entries as it is quite long:

About your Redmine plugins
SCM Creator                      0.3.0
Redmine Download Logger plugin   0.0.1

I have read a fair bit on the "is not missing constant" error. From what I have picked up it's something to do with the autoloader in Rails trying to reload DownloadLog - but most of the problems I have found are caused by namespace issues, which I can't see how to apply to this code. I followed the Redmine Plugin tutorial fairly well (as far as I know), so I'm not sure what has happened with the controller/model loading.

I am happy to post more code/logging, I kept it to a minimum as I don't know enough about Redmine/Ruby on Rails to know what to post :)

Also happy to share the Plugin if people are interested, even though it's not very complicated/featured - although I'm not sure of the best way to do this.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Matt
