Rails: Uninitialized Constant inside Controller

Question

I have a namespaced route and here's how I created the controller:

module A
  module B
    module Test
      class DummyController < ApplicationController

        def quantify_stocks
          something = Test::Dummy::Something.new(params)

          # more code here
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

I am trying to access the class Test::Dummy::Something but it autoloads the constant Test with A and B (A::B::Test)?

The error I get is:

NameError (uninitialized constant A::B::Test::Dummy)

Try ::Test::Dummy::Something

Test in this context will always refer to A::B::Test so you need to say explicitly that you need Test from the global namespace, which is exactly what ::Test does
