Inheritance for Neo4j::Rails::Model does not work in Rails

Reported by Andreas Ronge | September 22nd, 2011 @ 02:08 PM

Setting a relationship on a model that inherits from another model
causes an exception.
For example:

class BizProcess < Neo4j::Rails::Model 
 property :title, :type => String 
end 

class Innovation < BizProcess 
 has_n(:deps).to(Department) 
end 

class Department < Neo4j::Rails::Model 
  property :name, :type => String 
  index :name 
  has_n(:innovations).from(Innovation, :deps) 
end

Then when typing 'Innovation' in rails console:

Innovation 
LoadError: Expected /app/models/innovation.rb to define Innovation

In the stack trace down the line it points to the issue being the line
in the Department model that defines the relationship.
When setting Innovation to inherit from Neo4j::Rails::Model, the
problem goes away, but that's not an acceptable solution.
One workaround I've used it defining it in the BizProcess model, but
this is confusing to others.
