Circular dependency issue

[lindevloeberghs]

I added a Formtastic form, and after a difficult installation of Rich with version issues etc. added ':as => :rich' to one field of the form. When loading the form the first time, I get a LoadError "Unable to autoload constant RichInput, expected /Users/.../.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p598/gems/rich-1.4.6/app/inputs/rich_input.rb to define it", when reloading the page I get a RunTimeError "Circular dependency detected while autoloading constant RichInput".
I researched the issue and it seems to be an autoloading issue with Rails 4 & Ruby 2 which was encountered by many gems. Many report having solved it by removing 'unloadable' from models and controllers. I am new to Rails and don't know how I can solve this issue in my app. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

_ PS. This is my trace:

Sorry for the late response. Are you requiring formtastic anywhere using require 'formtastic'?

[lindevloeberghs]

Hi there, no I put it in the gem file. We found out what the issue was I think, something like rich not supporting formtastic 3 which was the minimum version required for our rails version. I'd be happy to hear if thatd be supported :) Thanks for you reply!

Normally rich should support formtastic in version 3. What's the version of
rich you are using?

[lindevloeberghs]

I don't remember (I left the project), but it was something like that if I remember it correctly. Will forward this to my colleagues so they can reach out to you if they're still facing the issue!
