[TxMt] [Ruby] Name collision with Plist gem

[cremes.devlist at mac.com]

I'm currently testing out TextMate for doing some Ruby coding. It gets very high marks from the community at large and so far things have looked fairly good.

However, I ran into a bug and I need the list's help to solve it.

The code I'm writing and testing uses the plist gem [1] from rubyforge. Whenever I try to test code that uses any functionality from that gem, the test fails with the following error:

  1) Error:
test_temp(TC_MyTest):
NameError: uninitialized constant Some::Plist
method some in temp.rb at line 12
method test_temp in tc_temp.rb at line 13

(where Some is a class I created for the purpose of trapping this bug.)

I searched for this problem and discovered another complaint about it back in July [2] along with a response [3]. The response wasn't very helpful for figuring out a workaround, so I thought I'd ask again.

How can I modify TextMate so it doesn't stomp on the ruby namespace for Plist? Alternately, how can I modify my ruby code to avoid the namespace collision? BTW, I have already "deleted" the Property List Macro Bundle from TextMate but that didn't appear to have any positive effect.

I've already tried different scoping shenanigans with modules and the :: scope operator, but it still blows up. Thanks for your help.
