Rails, Heroku does not load my lib
you want require 'my_file_to_require'
assuming you've named your file properly.
Require takes the filename, not the module/class name, so:
require 'MyUtilityClass' # wrong
is wrong but
require 'my_utility_class' # correct
is correct, again assuming you've stuck to the normal ruby/rails file naming conventions.
Have you tried to restart your app after it's deployed? You can use the following command:
heroku restart
