[Backgroundrb-devel] Unable to load Models which reference plugins?

[James Howison]

I'm using a plugin which adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base

http://similetimelinerailshelper.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/simile_timeline/

This adds an "acts_as" type declaration to the Models, via the file in  
vendor/plugins/simile_timeline/lib/simile_timeline.rb Rails is working  
with these declarations, and they are being used successfully in  
'regular Rails'.

When I run script/backgroundrb start, I get an error saying that  
method is not found (error follows sig).  Backgroundrb is able to  
start up with those acts_as declarations commented out.

Presumably I need to require the plugin file somewhere, but I wondered  
if backgroundrb might be meant to load the same things as Rails, by  
default.

Thanks,
James
