[Backgroundrb-devel] BgDRb initializes my models twice?

[Michael Siebert]

Hello there,

I've stumbled into a phenomenon: my models get loaded twice (or more).  
Best thing would be describing my setup:

I have a Folder model using acts_as_taggable (from  
acts_as_taggable_on_steroids) in the acts_as_taggable class method  
being calledon initialization, it does the following:

> alias_method_chain :reload, :tag_list


Now, when something (namely better_nested_set) calls self.reload,  
reload_with_tag_list is called which in turn calls  
reload_without_tag_list (which is the original one). This is how it  
should work and how it works in rails context.

when i now start backgroundrb and self.reload is called, i get:

with ruby-debug, i can see that acts_as_taggable is called more then  
once, doing the alias_method_chain more than once, too, so that  
reload_with_tag_list calls reload_with_taglist which calls  
reload_with_tag_list. if you don't understand that, try to sketch it :)

is this behaviour known, is it a bug or superman?

greetings,
Micha
