Warning: toplevel constant referenced by...

I’m working on a project and we’ve started to run into these warnings:

active_record/base.rb:1748:  warning: toplevel constant [Class] referenced by [Class]::[Class].

I’m not sure what’s causing them but it’s making my test output UGLY .

If I recall, this has to do with namespacing. If you have a namespaced model, try sticking the precursory colons to your class references to explicitly call the base:

class [Class]::[Class]
  ::[Class]
end

Not sure if that is entirely clear as I wrote it, but I believe that might help.
