Override Kaminari configuration in Rails Engine

Question

I am currently trying to fix a problem in my engine: I am providing a logging engine with back-end views so that I need a pagination. Since kaminari and will_paginate are cockblocking each other I am running in problems.

So I need a way to configure Kaminari params to override the method name directly in my engine.

Kaminari is on version 0.14.1 and loaded as dependency in the .gemspec. If I call it directly through an initilizer in the engines config/initializers/kaminari_config.rb file with

Kaminari.configure do |config|

I get:

uninitialized constant Kaminari

I would love to hear your solutions.

Answer 1

You need to add this line to your file:

require 'kaminari'

To load the module, otherwise ruby don't recognise it.
