Auto-loading lib files in Rails 4

I think this may solve your problem:

1. in config/application.rb:

   config.autoload_paths << Rails.root.join('lib')
   

   and keep the right naming convention in lib.

   in lib/foo.rb:

   class Foo
   end
   

   in lib/foo/bar.rb:

   class Foo::Bar
   end
   

2. if you really wanna do some monkey patches in file like lib/extensions.rb, you may manually require it:

   in config/initializers/require.rb:

   require "#{Rails.root}/lib/extensions" 
   

P.S.
