Autoload on Linux

[Diego Potapczuk]

Anyone knows why Auto Loading may be not working on Linux?

The application crash with this error:
Fatal error: Class 'Aew_Model_Orm_Tag' not found in /var/www/aew_sec/application/models/Tag.php on line 15

When trying to load Doctrine Models
        Doctrine::loadModels(realpath($dir));

It is working just fine on windows.

it seen that the autoload in not entirely broken.


Here is my autoloader definition:

$resourceLoader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
    'basePath'  => APPLICATION_PATH,
    'namespace' => 'Aew',
));

$a = new Aew_Form_Delete();     
echo $a;

$b = new Aew_Model_Orm_Tag();
echo get_class($b);

It can get the Form just fine, the problem is in the Model classes

Ok... i found the error....

Because the linux is file case sensitive, the folder all have to begin with uppercase, don´t know why is that, because zend folders like forms and models does not need this rule, and even can be in plural form. So IMHO this is a bug.

Forms and models actually do need the rule too, but it has already been predefined in the resource autoloader.  In order to have any class loader automatically do case-insensitive checking or automated checking of plurals, supporting several operating systems, would require a fair amount of additional overhead, much of which would be file system calls.  And one of the things you don’t need is more file system calls.  Rather than being a bug, this is part of working on a file system that is case sensitive, and also one of the drawbacks of developing in a different type of environment from your production system.

This is probably a difference in implementation by the Zend Autoloader
and the Doctrine one. However, it is always good practice to assume
everything is case sensitive, rather than assume everything is
case-insensitive, since on unix-like systems virtually anything is, and
case-sensitive code will run on a case-insensitive machine, but not the
other way around.
