Why rails can't find my sweepers?

Question

I have on my controller:

class FormulariosController < ApplicationController
    cache_sweeper :campanha_sweeper, :only => [:show]

    # actions
end

I've tried to create a directory called /sweepers inside app and it didn't work, I've tried inside models to create a /cache folder(there were a blog using this as example) and it didn't work.

My sweeper looks like this:

class CampanhaSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
  observe Campanha

  def after_update(campanha)
    expire_cache_for(campanha)
  end

  private
  def expire_cache_for(campanha)
    expire_page(:controller => 'formularios', :action => 'show')

    ap "Expired cache for formularios#show in formulariosweeper"
  end

end

I get when trying to start the server the following:

Why didn't it work? Also, is there any way to expire cache of only a view(of how it's rendered). I'm generating views on the fly and it would be very useful if I could expire the cache of a view that is located at say, views/formularios/a.html.rb

If guys want to know what I'm doing, it's simple. I generate views with forms and when I want to update that view(or it's code) and I'm in production, the view doesn't get updated due to caching so I have to manually reset it's cache everytime I "update" a form.

Thanks.

Did you add the sweepers directory (or where ever you've put the sweeper code) to your autoload_paths in application.rb?
